So the Whole Foods near me has the 1-gallon apple juice jugs on sale this week so I figured I would pop in here to see what I should know. I am sure it has been brought up a bunch but its hard to search for the term 1-gallon in this forum because I get hits on the word gallon.
So I found this article online (http://www.thepauperedchef.com/2009/10/how-to-make-hard-apple-cider.html) which basically says buy Apple Cider / Juice, use some Safale S-04 or similar, toss yeast in, and put on the airlock.
Is it really that easy? I see a bunch of recipes adding brown sugar, etc so not sure if it really is as easy as it seems.
Also I read that primary should be almost 2 months (60 days) time - is this correct? Or should I do a regular beer fermentation, rack to a secondary for a longer aging time?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
