Hi Everyone,
I am by all accounts very much a n00b, but I wanted to get a good cider going for wonderful consumption next fall. I live in Boston and have ready access to some of the best apples/fresh cider in the country, so with that in mind I'd like to brew a cider with an emphasis on New England ingredients.
I've been reading some different threads and recipes and from what I can tell there are a sh#t load of different ways to make a nice cider. I know that classic New England cider is dry, has a high FG, and is made with molasses and raisins so my question is this:
Does anyone know of a straightforward, reliable, and relatively n00b-friendly recipe for some delicious NE cider? If not a recipe, even some guidance to get me on the right track would be very helpful.
