Well I am enjoying my first batch of cider, only problem is I followed Edwort's recipe and as much as I like it, It just knocks me out and the wife won't even touch it because it's too strong!!
For those of you who don't know I used a kilo of dextrose with 5 gallons of AJ.
Didn't have a hydrometer back then, but I figure it was something around 8-10percent.
I would like to make something around the 5% mark, I have read from different threads that if you don't add ANY dextrose it will be around 5% but I doubt that, I figure around half a kilo will get you 5-6%
Has anyone ever done official results with a lower alcohol apfelwein?
