The title pretty much says it all.
I have been brewing beer for a little less than a year and am feeling the need to experiment and broaden my horizons a little.
Buddy at work asked if I would be interested in making a batch of hard cider.
He provides the freshly pressed apples and I provide some equipment and basic knowledge.
Here lies the problem. I have no idea how to make a cider.
I perused the forum and find several different options, some naturally fermented, some with pectic enzyme added (or other "stuff"), some with wine yeast, others with Notty, etc....
Can someone steer me in the right direction?
He is going to have the apple juice by tomorrow (Thurs) or Friday at the latest.
I have carboys, airlocks, and all essential racking and bottling stuff, but I just need a set in stone instructions.
Please and thank you.
