I made a batch of this cider: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=292770
It is backsweetened with 5 containers of apple juice concentrate and 2 cups of brown sugar. The yeast was dead because I gave it extra time on the primary and secondary so I added another yeast packet. I waited until it started moving again and then filled the bottles, stirring the cider constantly.
When bottling, I did the first and last in plastic coke bottles. Today those bottles are rock hard... but I bottled it Sunday night. It's been...about 36 hours.
I don't want any explosions this year, so should I cold crash them now (or bottle pasteurize) or am I worried about nothing?
