15. Hard Cider Recipe

Wed Apr 30, 2014, 09:40 PM

Simply get some good cider (which has been processed without sulfides) get it to about room temperature, and get yourself some beer or wine yeast, pitch it, put on your airlock, and go. Rack it off every couple of weeks, and after a while, you will have your first hard cider.

For much more info, including everything you need to go, visit: http://www.howtomakehardcider.com/

But remember, sanitation, sanitation, sanitation. You don't want any nasties getting into your brew!

I have many recipes of my own. It is all a matter of whether you like sweet or dry, still or bubbly cider.

My favorite brew is a mead (honeywine) that I make with nothing more than apple cider, honey, and yeast.

These yeasties bring me so much joy, that's why I keep them as pets... Generations of them!

Apparently not much import of apples to Europe from China. They'l probably be next to be banned. DesertDiamond Apr 2014 #6
