@takadi I used to hang around weddings and get champagne bottles that would take a bottle cap.

Do you know a good way to condition cider other than using plastic bottles?
-
@takadi Carboys are not designed to take pressure. The cider should be moved to bottles designed to take some pressure... om the other hand you know your yeast works.

I tried carbonating the cider in the carboy itself and it exploded. Never doing that again

how did you make the yeast starter? I don't like the taste of commercial yeast.

@duwbryd I detail it on my website. I used peelings from an organic apple in cider with no preservatives. But it is the luck of the draw if you get a good tasting yeast the first time.

If i wanted the alcohol content to be higher how long should i allow it to ferment?

@johnstamos27 As long as you want though there is a top end around 12% or so and it will taste eventually more like tart apple wine. However, one of the reasons to only ferment it for a few days it to keep it from getting harsh. The longer it ferments the more undrinkable it becomes which is why it cider and wine need to aged.

@johnstamos27 Yes, or, you can buy commercial yeast. It is not expensive.
