This is something I've been meaning to try for a while now, and tonight I finally got it going...hopefully the Tigers get it going too...
Here's my recipe:
1 gallon Target brand apple juice.
1 cup sorghum syrup (it tastes very similar to molasses) dissolved in 1 cup of the same juice.
1/2 tsp malic acid
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
A part of a packet of Nottingham yeast
the juice's gravity by itself was 1.042
Gravity with all ingredients but yeast is 1.064
It is a nice dark amber color. It tastes damn good as-is. Here's hoping for a good hard cider!
