Bottling Winter Ale and Cider

Bottle date: Nov. 3, 2013

Winter Ale:
  • 93 g corn sugar
  • 1.5 c water
Desired CO2: 2.2 vol (4.75 gal @ 64 'F)

Beer appeared to still be off-gassing CO2. Not sure if this was because I had cold crashed the beer for several days outside in 40-50 'F temps, and then allowed the beer to warm to room temp for two days before bottling.

Tried corker on the cider. Had to push cork all the way into bottle for corker to release.

Cider - Montrachet:
  • 14 g corn sugar
  • 4 oz water
Desired CO2: 2.3 vol (0.75 gal @ 64 'F)

Cider - Irish Ale:
  • 14 g corn sugar
  • 4 oz water
Desired CO2: 2.3 vol (0.75 gal @ 64 'F)
