I'm wanting to go real basic for my first cider and experiment from there. I think I've finally decided to do this:
5 gallons preservative free apple juice
1 can of frozen concentrated apple juice
5 lbs of light brown sugar
2 packets champagne yeast.
Pour all of that into the fermenter and ferment until bubbling slows to one minute, rack to secondary until it clears warm a couple cups of apple juice and add 1 and a half cups of corn sugar add to bottling bucket and bottle.
I'm thinking of adding some frozen blueberries also. Would I need to put them in the primary or in the secondary? I've not really checked out the juice at the store yet. Will the preservative free have to be refrigerated? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if it is seasonal.
