The Cyser Project- Bottling Time

A few months ago I made a batch of cyser, which is fermented apple cider and honey. The cyser has been clearing and stabilizing for several months and is now ready for the bottle. I'm bottling in champagne bottles, which I will cap with push-in caps and wires attached with a pair of pliers. Couldn't be easier! The cyser will be carbonated, so I held off on the metibisulfite and added about half a cup of priming sugar (mixed with hot water) to the cyser prior to bottling. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

It's the Buon Vino siphon bottle filler. Saves a lot of time and hassle when filling bottles.
