Just put the airlock on my first batch of cider. Wife's been on me to make her some since I started brewing. Been reading a lot about it, but just like with beer I had to finally get down to doing it. So this afternoon I put together my first batch.
It's a one gallon batch. I used Old Orchard AJ and I tossed in a can of the frozen concentrate also. I rehydrated a pack of US-05 with some DME in it and pitched it. It measured 1.060 so potentially more potent than I was going for, but maybe it'll get SWMBO a little tipsy.
Now we wait...hope it turns out good. Anyone else one a batch this way (w/o using additional sugar)? Interested to hear how it turned out.
