Howdy! Anybody familiar with the Yellow Transparent/Lodi cultivars as cider apples? I've put up 42 quarts of Lodi squeezin's (so far) and am right now trying to turn 12 of them into cider, using champagne yeast (I had to add about three cups of sugar to get the potential alcohol up to 8 percent, though.)
Other varieties I'm looking forward to are gravenstein, red and yellow delicious and a mystery apple that's a really good eater. Four of my 12 apple trees are red delicious! So this winter I'm going to be turning two of them into different varieties through grafting. Any advice about varieties to pick for good snappy cider would be most appreciated!
