Hi all,
I've posted this question on the recipe(applekush) thread, but haven't gotten an answer yet. Looking to bottle soon so will ask here too.
I started this cider on 8/10 and got OG of 1.072, checked it today and it's 1.005(on S04). My intent is to cold crash, prime with 4oz corn sugar, and bottle. Is there a need to pasteurize at this point? I've read other recipes recommending this, but they seem to be bottling at higher FG's. Not sure since I've let it go lower if there's a need. Don't mind doing it if it's still a good idea, but if it's unnecessary will skip.
Thanks!
