My wife doesn't drink beer, so I cannot really share this hobby too much with her and it is entirely one sided. I'm thinking if I can make something she likes, then I might get a pass on future purchases...you follow me here?
Ok, so I figured a nice Apple Cider that is tart and a bit sweet would do just the trick. I read up on back sweetening with lactose and all and I pieced together this recipe.
5 Gal of Treetop Apple Juice (or a local brand w/ some Georgia apples)
1 lb Dark Brown Sugar
2-3 cinnamon sticks into the fermenter
Notty yeast
When it is time to bottle:
1 can frozen AJ concentrate - for carbing
1 lb Lactose for back sweetening
What do you think? This is my first cider, so I'm completely clueless here.
