Hello,
I would like to start putting up bottles of sparkling hard cider in champagne bottles without forcing co2 into the bottles. I have heard of putting a couple raisons in a champagne bottle to get a slightly bubbling cider. What are some other methods of getting champagne like carbonation for cider naturally? Has anyone used honey? Maple Syrup? (I don't care if these additives change the flavor of the cider) what is the typical amount of sugar to use to prime champagne bottles for bubbly cider?
cheers,
jonny
