I heard the brown sugar was good for turning your product into apple jack, my last batch was ass kicking with white sugar so this go around I am doing brown. I pour a wine glass full of cider and drop in a shot glass of apple jack. then pink lemonade on top. Pretty nice boiler maker and ass...
1 gal apple juice from concentrate
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tea breadmaker yeast
1 tea yeast nutrient
Note: warmed to 90f; gonna let it sit for a month,
if it's like the last batch it should be ass kicking.
I aint never had any real cider we don't make it here in south Alabama but I have been making wine for a few years now and what I do s light years better than my dad was proud of so yeah this stuff to me is killer.
