I've been a home brewer since 1996 and my wife hates the taste of beer. Her dad makes wine and a few years ago we planted 50 apple trees. This year we have more apples than we can deal with and my wife has discovered she likes Ciders but only the sweet ones like JK Scrumpy. I've found tons of recipes for dry ciders but none for the sweet variety. She also doesn't like honey so I'm reluctant to use that as an adjunct sweetener. We have an apple press and all the beer/wine making supplies one would ever need. I also use Sanke kegs and really don't want to pull out and sanitize 50 bottles to bottle this. So a recipe that I can force carbonate would be best but I'm not opposed to keg conditioning if it will help. I only keg conditioned once with the Corny kegs and after clogging up the tube and almost losing a batch of beer I never tried it again. Sanke Kegs have a larger tube so I'm not worried about it getting clogged and if it does I can remedy it pretty easy. So all you seasoned Cider makers help and old beer guy make his wife happy.
