Made with “apple juice from concentrate”. forced 35 psi at 42 degrees. Very hard to dispense and no bubbles. Do I need to add minerals to give the bubbles something to hold onto?
what do you mean by hard to dispense? and no bubbles?
cider will not hold a head like beer, it might not even form one at all.
How long have you been carbing it?
Yeah, no head usually in cider - you’ll get foam and then it falls flat almost immediately, the key is to make sure that it continues bubbling during the whole pint.
If you want a head - go for maltodextrin powder.
If your problem is no bubbles whatsoever … well, I’d wonder if you don’t have a leak in there? How did you force it?
“Very hard to dispense” makes me think there is a blockage in the keg/line.
