First I want to thank all of you for all of your help. As you can tell I am
new to all this but very excited. I have made a hard cider from a simple
recipe. seems to be working great. The recipe does say that if you want
sparkling cider to prime before bottling, however it doesnt say how much
sugar to use to prime it. I have seen different amounts in different
recipes. One says use 1 cup, one says 3/4 and another says 1/2. These are
all for a 5 gallon batch. The recipe I have is 40 lbs sweet cider, 3Lbs
honey, 3 lbs brown sugar, and 2 packets of champain yeast. add all
ingredients, let fermit to finish and bottle. age in bottle 2 weeks. If you
want sparkling cider prime before bottling.
Thanks ahead,
Steve
