Is KISS your second version of angry orchard ?
KISS v2.0 is, yes. Still working on it. Hold off on making KISS v1.0, it's ok, but there is a lot of room for improvement in that recipe.

ANyone ever get anywhere with this? My wife is pressing me for it.
I found that it took about 6 weeks - 2 months in the bottle for KISS v1.0 to be drinkable. At that point it was pretty good.I tried upstatemike's KISS 1.0 recipe which was his first attempt at cloning Angry Orchard. Just bottled it a couple weeks ago. I don't care for the tart flavor the malic acid gives it like the sugar on sour patch kids. Hoping it will mellow out in the bottle. Upstatemike has KISS 2.0 bottled and will update the thread when he's tried it.

The recipe for KISS v2.0 will not be published. I feel that the changes I made to it from v1.0 were steps in the wrong direction. Drinkable, but not great.
Working on KISS v3.0 when I can.
well i have my version going its in the not the end of the world cider post.
5 gallons of musselmans cider, notty 1.050 to 1.010 cold crashing malic acid to taste and some aj concentrate to bump it back up to 1.020 or a bit more.
it really needs the cold crashing to drop the yeast out. i'll prolly add in some sorbate since it will be kegged and carbed.

What are my options to end all fermentation so I can just add sugar to sweeten?
If I decide to add unfermentables instead f the previous option, what can/should I use? Splenda?
Thanks,
Corey

Than add it in before bottling and after fermentation. If you do this I strongly recommend that you look at the sugar content on the bottle and not adding any sugar for carbonation and just let the natural sugar in the juice carbonate. Make sure to kill the yeast before you add the juice or otherwise your just adding more sugar for fermentation
Sorry I didn't mean kill I meant make them doormat by using Potassium Sorbate.

Angry Orchard may be the best thing I have had to drink...ever.
Angry Orchard is good, but I think Zima is better.
I gave up on my clone, I like the way my recipe turned out better than AO. Now i just need to work on kegging damn keg started to leak after a month...
Working on Version 2 as I type. Version 1 was close to Angry Orchard Crisp, but I can do better. Will post a recipe when I have the clone.
I like Magners and Strongbow also.
My brew that's in secondary now was done with this,
4 gallons with apple cider
1.5 water
1lb brown sugar
8oz maple syrup
Yeast (can't remember which one)...
But now that it's in secondary I'm debating on throwing some ginger bc I really like the angry orchard ginger cider
