Just started a new cider tonight. I'm looking for something low abv this time, hopefully a nice summer quencher! I just hope its not tart. Recipe is:
1 1/2 gallons apple juice "great value Walmart".....hey it works for me!
2 cans Old Orchard Apple/Raspberry juice concentrate"from Walmart"
1 Packet Nottinghams ale yeast
I mixed the Old Orchard to its normal re-constitution which made a little over 3 quarts. Total I'm at 2 1/2 gallons. The Old Orchard has a definite rasberry taste however the ingredients in the juice are as follows: Apple juice, Pear juice, Grape juice and Raspberry juice.
I dont taste any grape but do taste the raspberry. I hope it doesn't come out to tart but I'm trying an ale yeast "first time" in an attempt to hold onto a bit of the sugar at the end. I did not add any sugar to this...
hydrometer was 1.044 PA around 5.8% but with the ale yeast will hopefully be a bit less. Plan is to let it go for 3 weeks or more and bottle carb it...
