good morning, ive been making 1 gallon batches of this 5 day cider, and its awesome!! thank you so much!
I have two questions.
First, i made a Belgian White style sweet cider, with a little coriander and and orange juice/peel. I got busy, and bottled it a day later than i should have. starting og was 1.070, and final gravity was 1.015, so the alcohol content was higher and the residual sugar was lower. Since i usually takes a day to bottle car, i gave it two days, stove top past'd it. let it chill in the fridge for a few days, to let the co2 fully dissolve, and upon opening it, i get a still pressurized hiss and a few bottles, nothing more. if i run late on bottling again, how long should i bottle carb to insure i get nice fizz?
Second, I've been thinking about making a cider with raspberries added to it, in a one gallon, and I'm wondering if anyone else has done this, if so how did it turn out, and how did you put the berries in, did you grind and press them, or maybe just smush a bunch of them and put them in the carboy.
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan
