Hi,
I've played around a bit with cider using my oztops, and have come up with a recipe for a Bulmers clone. It's nothing tricky - just juice fermented to dryness. I will then pasturise and add more apple juice until I get the right sweetness (about 1:6 - but I'll taste and refine). At this point I plan to introduce a maltolactic bacteria to reduce the acidity and round out the flavours and mouthfeel. I have no access to kegs or a soda stream or anything, and would actually like to use the maltolactic bacteria for carbing the bottles. Does anyone know where I can get some data on how much carbon dioxide this reaction will produce (and how much I want it to produce)?
