HELP Cider disaster!!!

[DrHopper]

After lovingly juicin 72lb of apples and pears at the end of august, i thought i'd try my cider batch tonight.
oh dear, cider fountain.
reading back through my notes, it had an og of 1056 which was down to and apparently stable at 1008 3 and a half weeks later, i batch primed with the same sugar as i do for ale and bottled up.
absolutely gutted as it looks great in the bottle, absolutely clear with a hint of orange colour.
Is there any way to salvage by cold crashing or rebottling- i imagine not.
if anyone has any ideas, i would be very grateful!!!!

I can't imagine that this will be drinkable in under 6 months.

If you are worried about carbonation, forget it.

The pears and apples will be fine in the end, but that is not now.

Not by a very long chalk.

If it's clear, that's good. Now leave it alone.

Hi, cheers for the reply. I am pleased that it should be OK. I'm fine about waiting. What is going on do you think? Is it a a malolactic fermentation?

Chilling the bottles really cold before opening should reduce your fountaining experience (because cold liquids are able to absorb much more gas than warm ones). I think you may have bottled a bit too soon 1008 isn't really that low for cider though it would be for beer.
