My process for sanitizing the bottles was the same, although I used campden tablets for making a sanitizing rinse solution for the bottles. I did the same for the Cooper’s Mexican Cerveza kit, using identical flip-top bottles.
The only difference being the yeast, and I didn’t pay close attention to the one that Cooper’s provided, but I am using EC-1118 for all of my ciders.
During racking I moved the cider temporarily to another pail to try to avoid too much trub in the bottles, as there was quite a bit of sediment from the yeast, gelatin, and I wanted to be careful.
Is it possible the campden killed the EC-1118? I didn’t think a little left in the bottles for sanitizing would have an effect?
