I wonder if someone could help have searched Google and this forum before posting..

I was wondering once I have brewed the cider.. How long can I leave it before carbonating it...

I have a batch bottled now (carbonated in the bottles) but ideally I'd like to start another and leave it in a carbouy (maybe even to settle and flavour?speed up process once bottled?)... Until I get through some of my stock then transfer it to the bottles and carbonate

How long could I leave the cider in the carbouy.. Is there a length of time before it won't carbonate anymore when I stick it in the bottles (I use sugar pills inside bottles to carbonate)

Thanks

Dan
 
If it is of normal cider strength you can leave it for almost as long as you like.
Within reason of course.
Personally i would not leave it longer than a few months.

Yeasties are tough little fellows when they put their minds to it
