    Honey Peach Cider

    Probably not the best way to do it, but I took an extra bottle of peach nectar amd dumped it in from the start.

    I added extra sugars at the start and got it up to 7% abv. Mmmm

    Honey Peach Cider

    Found out what the issue was. Don't laugh too hard. I unknowingly used some recycled twist off bottles for some of them... didn't get a good seal on the cap obviously.

    Cider turned out great! However, while pasturizing about 1/3 of them released their carb in the water bath. Any tips on preventing that in the future?

    So even though my batch has only been in for 12 days, could I go ahead and bottle if I'm happy with the abv? Is there any downside to bottling before ~2 weeks?

    Honey Peach Cider

    Cool, thanks! It's going at a good pace now. Took about 26 hours before I noticed any activity. You mentioned an oxygen wand. Do you keep that in the batch for the entire fermenting process or just for a day or so?

    Honey Peach Cider

    Just curious when you started seeing activity in your batches on average after pitching the Notty. 12 hours? 24? 48?
