Hi all, I knocked up a batch of cheeky vimto cider and I left in in the primary fermentation bucket for around ten weeks through a combination of laziness and things out of my control. Anyway it all seemed alright and brewed out at around 9.4%.
I added the priming sugar and bottled it but apart from a slight firming of the bottles they are not fizzing up at all and it all remains flat and too sweet. I am assuming I have killed the poor little yeasties and I want to add some more to each bottle to getting things on their merry way.
I am using Young's Cider Yeast in the individual sachets and am wondering what the best way to go about it is. Do I just add a pinch to each bottle or should I mix it up with a bit of water and add a few drops to each bottle as a solution?
Any pointers to the best direction will be greatfully received
