Hi all,
I've read different things on xylitol and carbonation. One website said xylitol adds sweetness but has no effect on carbonation, while another said xylitol creates a nice fizz. I'm planning on back-carbing. Should I add both xylitol (for sweetness) and sugar for carbonation?
And one more question: once cider has been bottled, should it be consumed within a certain time period?
Thanks!![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
