Haha why so? She doesn't like beer so I cant get her interested in brewing beer but since she likes cider I figure getting her into making cider will help her get into home brewing.
I want to save you some heart ache. Things like jewelry are what girls want for their birthday. Understand this: Bonding through an activity like brewing is something you should just be doing anyway, not just on a special occasion, especially her birthday. That's how they think. If you had a brew day planned for just the two of you on a random weekend, she'd think you are lovely and sweet, and she'd enjoy it.

Why not? Sounds like a good idea to me. Regards, GF.
Thanks. My GF's birthday is May but the present isn't going to be the finished product but rather the stuff to make it together.
I will probably ferment to dryness, rack to secondary for a month and then let her back sweeten with lactose until she gets it to the sweetness she likes, then add priming sugar to carb the bottles.
FYI, my experience is that lactose adds very little sweetness even after adding huge amounts. Take it for what it's worth, but i'd try another method.
