I'm making little gifts of ciders that I have made for some family. These family members have young children and I was wanting to bottle condition some unfermented apple juice so that they can feel like they are participating in the enjoyment of homemade beverages of sorts. Is it as easy as it seems in my head?
I have some cider that needs bottled anyways, so I will be doing this tomorrow and pasteurizing when I have the carbonation level where I want it. I will be bottling 1 gal of regular store bought apple juice. Any suggestions on how much sugar and yeast to add to the juice before bottling? Just add the same amount of priming sugar as I would for 1 gallon of beer and just estimate on some yeast? Is it this easy?
