This was my first attempt at cider. It still hasn't carbonated all the way (I hope), but it has been a little cool, so I'll just have to wait.

Still, its pretty tasty, and *really* clear.

What did you do with that?

 

[ThorGodOfThunder]

What do you mean?

I drank it. If thats what you are thinking. Got a nice buzz off of 16oz.

I mean what was your recipe, process etc. It's clear that you planned to drink it

 

[ThorGodOfThunder]

Lol.

It was pretty basic. 3 gallons of fresh, unpasteurized cider; k-meta (i make a lot of wine, everything gets sulfite); and EC-1118 yeast.

I sulfited the day the cider was pressed and got a yeast starter going with a little honey and water. Pitched the yeast the next day, and moved the carboy out to my porch to keep it cool. It was foaming over from the fermentation being too aggressive so I had to keep it slightly chilled.

Two weeks in the primary, two in secondary, and 3 weeks in bottles. It was a really basic process. I did backsweeten a little with Stevia, just enough to take the tartness out.

I kept the bottles in my basement and I think it was a little too cool to carbonate completely yet. I moved them into my closet for now.

I have a 5-gal batch of the same stuff going that I'm plan on force carbonating. It will be a little sweeter and I'll probably backsweeten with brown sugar to give it a neater color.

 

[bottlebomber]

How is the acidity?

 

[ThorGodOfThunder]

I have no means of measuring it other than taste, and it isn't too bad. I don't mind a little higher acidity in something fruity, but its fairly balanced.

Front carboy apfelwein bulked from batch started on 12/11/11 (gonna bottle into 1 gal jugs this week)

A trial, don't know how it will go but the OG was pretty high (on account of all that extra sugar!!!) so might have to wait a bit to find out...

[pottsa]

1 gallon of Carmel Apple Cider, 5 gallons of Welch's White Grape wine, and 5 gallons of Edwort's Apfelwein about 2-3 weeks after starting.

 

[Corriveau]

My first and second batch of "Apple Jack", concentrated hard apple cider. I didn't get a reading off my first batch, but my second batch was around 25%

 

[Peruvian802]

I cracked the 2nd to last bottle of my 2011 cuvee-de-pomme yesterday (with 1118 yeast). After 2 years it has a nice mellow apple smell and is quite dry. It's as good as it has ever been.

I've pressed 21 gallons so far this year but this is the first to make it to the fermenter. It has an OG of 1.060! I am following the caramel apple cider recipe for this batch, but don't have to add any dextrose.
