So, I made this gallon of hard cider............

[SKR8PN]

.....and BOY is it ever DRY! If you like apple cider and dry wine, you gotta try this out!!

1 Gallon of cider
1 cup of raisins
1 packet of champagne yeast

Let work for about 2 months.
Tap it off the lees, bottle it and let set in the fridge for another month or so.

This stuff will make you throw rocks through your own windows!!

If you like stuff a little bit sweeter, like my wife does, add a trickle of maple syrup into the glass before you pour the cider in.
SHAZAMM!!!

Soooooo...any chance you could ship a jug or two, or would it require special handling (like nitroglycerin)...?

Abi is holding some unpasteurized apple cider for me at her place. And I do have champagne yeast on hand....


ABI!!!! WE ARE MAKING HARD CIDER ON FRIDAY!!!

 

[FarmerDenise]

I'll have some of that!!!!

I didn't gather any apples this year though or I'd love to make some. Guess I'll have to wait and see how my wine experiment turned out.

So what exactly is your address for the party, SKR8PN?

 

[SKR8PN]

Ladies, ladies, ladies........... I only fermented a GALLON....and it is half gone already!!
Do ya reckon I should be cookin' up a 5 gallon carboy of Mead about now??
