Important Disclaimer:
I hope that you find this page useful, but I make no guarantees about
the accuracy or suitability of the results.
While I have pasteurized hundreds of bottles of carbonated and sweetened hard
cider for years without incident, there are always risks when pasteurizing
at home.
There is the definite risk that during the pasteurization process an exploding
bottle will send shards of sharp and burning-hot glass into your body,
possibly even into your eye.
Very hot glass bottles may cause burns even when they're intact.
The hot water may scald or burn your flesh.
The hot stove may burn your flesh or your clothing.
Bottles full of hot cider may break due to a sudden change in temperature
or a manufacturing defect.
You might drop a bottle, sending burning hot liquid and sharp shards
of hot glass all over your floor.
The computed pasteurization units on this web page, while based on the
best information available to me, are only an approximation.
The computed values might also be incorrect due to temperature readings
that are not taken at the coolest region within the bottle or
possible bugs in the code.
Bottles that have not been sufficiently pasteurized may explode at any time.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of things that might go wrong,
even under the assumption that you know what you're doing.
Please prepare well, use great caution,
always assume that anything might go wrong at any time, and
accept responsibility for the consequences of your actions.
Nothing on this website absolves you of that responsibility or transfers
any of that responsibility to me or this site. Use the information
provided here at your own risk.
With all of that said, I hope that you have the best of luck, many years
of safe and incident-free pasteurization, and many delicious
pasteurized beverages!
