I am new to brewing and want to make a good hard cider. I noticed that there is not an abundance of information online on how to actually make hard cider.
I thought it would be good to start a How To thread for those us of who want to delve into making a cider for the first time, but have little to no idea where to begin.
Can those of you who have made great cider before help a brother out:
1) What are the basic steps?
2) Is there a boil required? If not required, has anyone tried boiling?
3) What is your experience with ingredients and different yeasts?
4) Where do you go to get your juice, and what are the pitfalls to look out for when store shopping for juice?
Share your expertise with the rest of us Noobs.
Cheers
