OK. I have fermented out my cider - FV = 1.000 but now it is dry I want to condition it - and make it sweeter.
Suggestions on how to sweeten the cider then bottle condition it WITHOUT creating bottle bombs.
I have recently re-bottled 2017 cider bombs (opening bottles into a bin to release the pressure in the bottles then immediately re-capping.
This may be difficult to achieve - a sweeter, fizzy cider - but I do NOT have a keg so killing the yeast, adding sugar to sweeten then force carbing is not an option.
I will use a barrel to store some cider as still and put some as still in glass flagons (growlers) but Mrs H prefers the sweet, fizzy kind.
Suggestions please,
