Try carbination drops, one in each bottle, would advise using proper bubbly bottles, crown cap and let the magic work, goes without saying that your brew still needs to be fermenting but tailing off, you'll get sediment, you either leave it and pour gently, or put them upside down in the fridge...

Well, I gave a bottle to a work buddy to try, and very positive feedback, nice and dry plenty of bubbles, I might try sweetening the next lot a bit for my taste , but it seems you can really go wrong, I used lalvin ec1118 yeast and just let it ferment out in the bottle, might consider a...
