Flat Turbo Cider

    I recently made 5l of turdo cider, with Aldi's cloudy apple juice, green tea, ginger and honey to ferment. It fermented lovely. I wanted a clear end product so after it fermented I left it a while to let it settle. After a bout ten days I was left with a lovely clear liquid, so i bottled it. I bottled it into Grolsch swing top bottles, using one and a half coopers cardonation drops as a primer.

    Tried one a month later and it's flat, no fizz! I can only think of two explainations!
    1 - I left it too long between fermenation finishing and bottling!
    2 - The fizz has escaped from the seal in the swing top bottles!

    What do you guys think? And is there any way i could save my brew and give it a fizz?

    I wouldn't judge the entire batch on one bottle. Try another one.

    Thought that as well. If its the batch then all bottles will be flat. But if it's the seal on the swing top, then could be just one bottle.

    What kind of temperature are you keeping it at? If the rest of the bottles are the same then it could be they're too cold for the yeast to do anything.
