I am a fairly new brewer but I have caught the "What can I make now!" bug. I was looking into ciders and lemonades for my wife and her freinds and it seems cider similar to Woodchucks, Ace or whatever brand woudl be the way to go. In looking through these forums I cant seem to find what temeprature you are supposed to ferment it at?
My plan is this
6.5 Bucket and 5 Plastic Carboy (i.e. # 2 Water Jug) I know plastics bad but its a 1/2 time use only
5 Gals Apple Cider (Treetop or Motts)
1 packet Moncharet(SP) Yeast
3lb Brown Sugar
Warm a gallon and stir in sugar
Then add to other 4 gallons in Ale Pale
Wait till about 80 degrees
Pitch yeast
Close seal and airlock
After two weeks
Syphon to Carboy (Removing Sediment)
Seal and airlock
Let sit for 3 to 4 weeks
Then rack to Bottling Bucket (Do I use Priming sugar?)
Then botlle and let sit a minimum of two weeks
Refrigerate and enjoy?
THis is my first go around so I wnat to keep it as simple as posisble so taht I can build on it and change as I go. I just wanted to se eif this was a good base model for a beginer and at what temperature this should be done.
As always thanks in advance for your help!
