Hi -- For the past 5 years I've been experimenting with bottle 
conditioned cider.  I've concluded the best way is to ferment to dryness 
and then add a little fresh cider to my blend just before bottling.  I 
also add a little yeast to the blend to assure fermentation in the 
bottle.  I've tried various yeasts with varying results.  Probably the 
most consistent is Champagne yeast, but the end product has moderately 
heavy Champagne notes.   I'd like to hear what yeast and techniques are 
being used by other bottle conditioned cider makers.
