After bottling a Blackrock Cider kit two months ago I am very pleased with the taste but disappointed with the lack of fizz. If I steralise a set of new caps do you think it would be possible to pop the caps off, throw in a carbonation drop and recap?
 
No reason why not, seems strange that they haven't fizzed off one drop though. Does it taste particularly sweet?
 
I carbonate with 160g of sugar in 23 litres,but no wouldn't say its that sweet.
 
So the extra sugar has been fermented (I was making sure it was the sugar and not the yeast that was the problem). I've always carbonated by adding 1/2-1tsp of sugar to each bottle before filling.
