I bottled my 1st cider this weekend. I followed a suggestion I read on here somewhere, and put one bottles worth in a pop bottle to keep an eye on the carbonation.
It has only been 4 days and the soda bottle is rock hard. Does this mean they are already carbonated?
Do the bottles need to be refrigerated now to prevent bottle bombs?
Also, am I understanding correctly that you only need to pasteurize cider if you intend to store outside of the fridge? If I can refrigerate the whole batch, I can skip this step?
