Hi i have been brewing a on the rocks mixed berry cider kit. the primary fermentation has just completed and want to start bottling. i have 23 litres and want to bottle into 500ml bottles. how much pining sugar will i need to carbonate the cider?

Hi Gary, it depends how fizzy you like your cider. Check on one of the carbonation calculators where you can work it out according to your preference.

For cider I use two thirds of a spoonfull per bottle.
Ales use half a spoonfull.

and how carbonated do they end up? i want something that is as carbonated as a kopparberg

i've looked at calculators but when you select style it normally only shows lagers and ales

I use a teaspoon in cider - very sparkling!
