Kegs can handle much higher pressure than bottles. 60 psi easy. Just drink some everyday. You’ll see the serving pressure go way up and your cider hit champagne levels of carb long before you risk anything damage from high pressure. Worst case scenario bleed off some pressure using the pressure...

Go for it. It’ll stay a little bit sweet while the yeast eat up the sugars. It will go slower if you’re keeping it cold. It may even save you some(not much) co2 from your tank while you dispense. It MAY go cloudy on you again if the yeast kick up too much.

Depends on a few things. Maybe your yeast was extra robust. Maybe your juice had more nutrients. Maybe your temps were warmer. I would say take a hydro meter measurement and see where it is

Very excited to hear that. I’m glad you’re getting good mileage out of this recipe.

Similarly dry, I imagine. I haven’t tried d47 but go for it

If you’re kegging I would not backsweeten or add fajc unless you want to carb naturally in the keg

Did you get your carbonation?

for this recipe I use it for priming for more apple into the batch, and because in a 5 gallon batch pitching a can of AJC is easy than weighing, dissolving, etc... priming sugar.

go ahead and add 60ml and you should be fine. your AJC has more more sugar, but it's less concentrated.

Wait, how many ml is your container of ajc? Take the volume of the container. Divide by 5. Then add a little less than that. Maybe 90% if the result should be added. I was told there would be no math

Yup you’ve got it. One oz is 29-30 ml or so so 1.86 oz sounds right for 55ml. Another way to calculate it is 3 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons to equal 55 ml. Tablespoon = 15 ml and teaspoon = 5 ml. Makes sure you completely thaw the ajc first and mix thoroughly before adding. Good luck
