We opened a bottle on Saturday, after about 6 months in the bottle. It's really good! We'll be doing this one often.

For a one gallon batch, I use a one gallon jug. Actually, it's more like a 4L jug, since it's an old Carlo Rossi wine jug. You can use any size primary you want, just make sure your secondary is the correct size, so you don't have any headspace.

What makes this "wine" instead of "cider"?

Was that a dumb question?

No, not a dumb question. Cider is typically a lower alcohol beverage and is generally around 6%-7%. The starting and ending gravity of Yooper's wine makes it about 12% or so, and qualifies it as a wine rather than a cider. There are exceptions, and some cider styles can be that strong. It's just a matter of semantics.

Ahhhh..... I was only looking at the ingredients, not the numbers. Thanks!

Also, the taste is "wine", not cider, if that makes sense. It's a white wine, not really apply but not grape-like either. It's crisp and dry (or semi-sec if you sweeten it) and very much a wine.
