Just pressed and fermented out 32 ltrs of Apple juice , I would like to bottle it all but silly me dropped in 2 campden tablets in two days ago. So have I killed all the yeast off or have I still got enough active yeast to be able to carbonate in bottles to a medium level. I have the ability luckily to keg and carbonate, but would prefer to bottle condition. Thanks in advance .
 
Sorry I don't know the answer, but I'm looking into force carbonation in a keg at the moment (albeit to make sparkling wine) - just curious if it's something you've done before, what the results were like and if you use a dedicated kegorater/keezer or have some other way of lowering the temperature?
 
It should still be OK as campden don't kill yeast is just stuns it, but I can't be sure, the only sure way to find out would be to take a small quantity and add more sugar/syrup and see if it starts to ferment again.
