i've brewed one five-gallon batch of cider and really enjoyed it. but i'd like to try again and correct any mistakes and off-tastes. but what i want the most is a good recipe. i plan on using nottingham yeast and cold-crashing the cider within the first week. does that sound like a good idea?
also, what do most people suggest doing at the beginning when simmering the cider and dissolving sugar into the juice? how much sugar should i use if i want a relatively hefty alcohol content? and should i only use one packet of yeast for 5 gallons?
thanks for any information!
