I've been thinking of making a carbonated hard dry cider to put in some of these beer bottles I've been saving. I just haven't worked out what I think the alcohol content should be and how much priming sugar to add. I think I'll start with a 1 gallon batch to experiment, and when I perfect my process will try a 5 gallon batch.
Couldn't tell you how much priming sugar to use, I don't use the stuff, I mostly keg and force carbonate. This batch I'm going to cold crash to stop the fermentation and keep it semi-sweet.
