Hi! Fantastic video. I HAVE carbonated and pasteurised a ginger beer using just sugars. It was 7%. I used lots of fiery fresh ginger, lemon juice, powdered ginger adding roundness and lemon juice for acidity. It went totally dry and quite clear, I backsweetened to 1.030 and bottled knowing I was asking for trouble. I put it into a large heavy duty plastic container and gave it 3 days, squeaky bum time for the full 72 hrs. The most dangerous part was then pasteurising up to 60C (I’m English) for 20 mins. Cooled and the back into the container for a month of maturation. It’s the most heavenly and terrifying drink I ever made… 😅😅

I'll have to try a cranberry cider sounds good. I've been naturally carbonating and just pasteurizing. I've only had one bottle break and I think it happened cause either there may have been an imperfection in the bottle or what I suspect is that the hot water I poured into the cooler may have been too hot since it was the bottle closest to where I poured the water that broke (it broke after a little while not while I was pouring), and another possible factor was that I may have filled the bottles too much with the cider and since liquid does not compress the pressure got too high. Since then I've made sure I fill the bottles a little less and use water no hotter than 180 deg F. My ciders have come out carbonated and sweet. Recently I made one with the leftover juices I had in my fridge from previous ciders, so it was a combination of 2 different apple juices, tart cherry juice and pear juice. It came out really good, the blend or tartness from the cherry mixed with the sweet of the pear and apple was delicious.

Opened a bottle of my cranberry pomegranate apple cider to watch. When I bottled I added a teaspoon of allulose and a sugar pill in each bottle to hopefully get a little sweet and carbonate and they all are flat. It's still really good, just didn't carbonate. Fermentation was REALLY slow and I didn't test the pH so that was probably the reason. It didn't stall but it took a month to ferment. So it could have been either the allulose or the pH that stopped it from fermenting. But I used the yeast at the bottom to get my next batch going and it did fine. I call it my friendship cider... Lol PS. I bottle everything I make with bottle caps because that's what I have. Wine, Mead, cider, beer all go into bottles and are capped. Which can be interesting if I forget to label it... Lol

I still use your old method of pasturizing to halt fermentation and get a sweet natural carbed cider/mead. It is risky and I've had a few bottles blow (maybe 5%) but it's worth it. Would love if you come up with a better method. For those scared of bottles blowing during pasteurization I use a sous vide in a large ice chest with lid down as far as the cord allows. Bottles blowing just means losing 12 oz of cider and cleaning glass out of the bottom of the ice chest. The water keeps the bottle bomb from even scratching the icechest.

Great video, thanks for sharing your craft with all of us. You mentioned how back sweetening can interfere with carbonation. On my last Cider in addition to erythritol I tried a cinnamon extract and the carbonation failed miserably. I was thinking because I got stupid with two cups of brown sugar and Fleishman's yeast, I stressed that yeast to the point where there none left. This has me thinking that just maybe the extract may have also been a factor. Have you heard of extracts playing a detrimental role in carbonation also. I will never use that much sugar again. I was seeing stars after two them and it tasted to me like pureed mule poop.

The priming sugar is for carbonation. If you just add it into the fermenter, it will simply ferment and make more alcohol, but if you bottle it, it will hold the carbonation and make it sparkling.

Haha, are we green? I have been thinking about carbonation because I used your ginger beer recipe and added some pears and was looking at my first natural carbonation. I like the idea of the homogenous mix for consistency but have noticed that the yeastie beasties don't cooperate well. and the ratios may change in the pitcher as it settles while you bottle. Tedious as it might be, I am thinking that a bottle by bottle carbonation might be worth a try. I will perhaps look at your yeast and sugar by volume and scale down for bottles. This won't prove anything, but if mine carbonate well, it would perhaps encourage further investigation along this line. BTW this is my first non-distilled project outside of liqueurs and limoncello type bevvies, so thanks for all the tips and advice (my education ) 🤣.

When bottling, maybe consider PET plasitlc, much safer i would think. I use re used plasic pop bottles, very durable. Also a cheat for sweet carbonated ciders: use appropriate amount of sugar, let carbonate till bottle is almost solid then stick in the fridge. The cold temperature will slow fermentation to almost nothing, will be carbonated and sweet at the same time. Just leave in fridge or carbonation will start again.
