My wonderful brother got me an EZ caps kit for my birthday, and I finally got around to bottling my first batch. I tried a 2 liter bottle of Motts apple cider (pasturized and vitamin C added, no preservatives).
I added 1/4 tsp of yeast and 1 cup of sugar (well, I think maybe only about 3/4 cups made it in as I have no funnel). It sat in a warm place for about 4.5 days, and I covered it with a box to keep the light out, not sure if that makes a difference.
I made the mistake of opening it fast before I refrigerated it, whoops, cider everywhere! I tried a little tonight and it is wonderful and bubbly! I am taking it to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. The next time I will let it go longer, I like it drier but it will be perfect for the rest of the family that likes it pretty sweet.
Love EZ caps! So much fun!
