I think how full are the containers is the question. You can always
pour off some of the cider first, then freeze it. That would give the
cider room to expand without splitting the container.


Or you could simply "improve" the cider (assuming this is alcholic

cider) by partially freezing it and then pouring off the liquid to
another container, get rid of the ice and then repeat with the liquid
or then freeze. Just don't tell the ATF folks if you are in the US. :-)
