Hey all,
Just got into experimenting with some cider, and am looking for some tips as far as how long to ferment it so that it's not like juice and also not like wine... Looking for something around the flavor/attitude?? Of a Redds or Woodchuck.
My ingredients are as follows,
4 gallons flash pasteurized cider from local orchard, simmered to kill off wild yeast
1.5 lbs of honey (I read it ups the alcohol content given there are more sugars available)
1 package of champagne yeast
I put it in my fermenter yesterday, and got some airlock action this morning so it's safe to say its on its way!
Any advise for the rest of the process from here on out would be much appreciated!
