Alright everyone, I am about to attempt to make my first hard cider using the recipe "Hard Cider" as it is found in the Recipe forum. I was going to shoot for a ABV of around 9%. I am looking for advice from those with experience in this area. My question goes as follows: Should I up the ABV to around 12%, stabilize and back-sweeten, then bottle? Or should I leave it at around 9% and carbonate in beer bottles? If I were to carbonate should I avoid stabilizing the cider? My goal is to get this done by Halloween and am starting it tonight. Any input, advice or observations are welcome.
Thanks,
Chase
