Hello everyone, since getting back into Home Brewing, my wife has taken no interest in the hobby at all. That was until I said that I was going to try a Cider. One of my wife's fave drinks is a Cran/Apple Cider from our local Brew Pub. My question is this. Instead of buying UV pasturized cider from one of the local Orchards or cider companies her in apple country, I am thinking of roasting whole apples until carmelized, cutting them into chunks and then running them through a food mill and Chine cap combo. Would the roasting f the apples pasturize the apples before they became juice, saving me from having to do it later? I was thinking about doing the same thing with the cranberries as well, same result?
After jucing using this process, my thought was to follow one of the cider recipes listed in the recipe database. What do you think?
