I am still fairly new to the brewing scene (only 3 batches in) and I am looking to make an apple cider. (hopefully for the christmas holidays)
I found this recipe (http://beerrecipes.org/showrecipe.php?recipeid=896) which calls for
5 gallons, sweet cider
3 pounds, brown sugar
3 pounds, honey
2 packs, champagne yeast
couple quick questions as I have yet to make a cider:
It takes roughly 3 weeks to ferment but how long after bottling? 4 weeks?
What kind of honey can be used? I noticed on the Austin Homebrew Supply site that have a couple different ones. (http://www.austinhomebrew.com/index.php?cPath=178_21_73_405) Or could I just use regular old honey from my local grocery store?
