Classic cider, backsweetened with sugar (for carbonation) nad xilitol (for sweetness). Enjoyable.

Cheers to you! Looks fantastic! You are a pro already.

Will you do anything different for the next batch?

I'll try to use a clearer juice and maybe add more pectines to get a clear result.  I will also try to use a juice that is not acidy in taste.

Some of that will drop out and congregate at the bottom of the bottle over time

How long did you age it before bottling and how old overall is the cider? For me, it will clear up over time. The acidity also mellows over time.

Pitched in September, bottled in December. Maybe I will let it sit longer in a car boy next time around.
