Cider Priming

[monkeymagik]

I've got a Mangrove Jacks Cider kit going at the moment for the Minister for War and Domestic Affairs.

Just wondering how much I priming sugar should I use?

I usually bulk prime my beers because all my bottles are 330 ml instead of 375 ml. Would carb drops do the trick for cider though?

I've only done one batch of that and bulk primed. It was back in the summer and 120g of white sugar from Aldi did the trick.

Cider is no different from beer in this regard. Calculate the fizz level you want and prime accordingly (bulk or individual). Historically, cider can be anything from still to sparkling so it's your preference.
