I've been brewing for many years. Never made cider before though.
I've arranged to get 40KG of apples this week, and will juice them at home.
I like the idea of using freshly pressed, unpasteurized apple juice, but is there too much of a risk of infection - wild yeast, bacteria etc?
Do you have to boil pasteurize the apple juice?
I am going for an English style cider. Planning to use SAFALE S-04 yeast.
