Hi!
I see reference in people's signatures about cherry cider, but I rarely see any recipes (other an "well it's really apple cider with some cherry juice for color")
I'm looking for a nice cherry-flavored cider (probably with a base of apple juice though) that's has a nice yummy cherry color and flavor to it.
here's what I'm thinking
3 gallon batch
2.5 gallons apple juice
1 lb or so of dextrose or brown sugar
Lavlin D47 or EC-1118
when done fermenting, rack onto 2lbs crushed sweet cherries for ~2 weeks
Thoughts?
your recipes?
