Type: All Grain
ABV: 5.5% (give or take)
OG: 1.050
FG:1.008
Fermentation Time (Primary): Untill done (roughly 3-4weeks at 65F)
Fermentation Time (Sec) : None
Yeast: Nottingham Dry yeast
Difficulty level: Easy
Taste notes: dry and good apple taste, good strong almost burning carbination, pleasent and refreshing despite this. When still fruit flavor almost over powering. Taste best cold. When served warm carbination more pronounced. Champagne like flavor with more fruity undertone, and less of a kick. Smooth, no burn from ABV present at all. No ageing nessesary. Taste better then a Woodchuck and is much cheaper.
Its simple enough
List:
5 gallons Sams choice apple juice (from concentrate, it contains no preservatives) (2.27$ per 3/4 gallon jug, 15.89$ per 7 bottles)
Pack of Nottingham Ale Yeast (1$-3$ depending on LHBS prices)
1 gallon quality apple juice, i used "Tree Of Life" orgain apple juice. "Simply Apple", apple juice works well too. (for use as priming sugar) (Note you dont need a full gallon of high end apple juice for priming, for a 5 gallon batch 40oz is enough) (7$ - 12$ depending on quality and price)
1) 5 gallon carboy, bucket or prefered fermenting vessal
Total Price max (without cost of fermenting vessal): roughly 30.00$
Price per bottle: .60$ (with a yeild of 50, 12oz bottles)
Pro:
Add 5 gallons of juice to carboy, shake each throughly before adding to fermenter, then shake fermenter after all juice afterward to allow good Oxagenation
Add Nottingham, shake fermenter for good measure (not required). Will take 2-4 days for yeast to start due to high ammount of Vitimin C which is already present in juice.
Let ferment... wait...(note: ferment in the dark, did a small batch which fermented on the counter in the light, final tasted buttery and rancid)
(the juice will ferment completely clear during most stages of fermentation due to the fact that the Sam's Choice juice is so heavily filtered it will not require Secondary fermentation to clear or other additives. The final product will be so clear you could almost mistake it for white wine.
When fermentation complete rack to bottling bucket, read nutrient facts for priming juice for sugar content:
I use "Tree of Life" apple juice which contains 30g of sugar per 8oz (1 cup) serving. That is roughly one ounce (2 grams over) of sugar per cup. Im not picky and i like a little extra fizz so i added 5 cups for a total of 40oz of juice. Gave 5 quick stirs with a slotted spoon, then bottled.
Let sit in bottle for 1 week before tasting, should be fully carbed by then if not just wait will carb well on its own.
End
I personally have done this for well over 25 gallons of this stright juice cider. The only down side is you'll always want to keep a batch going and a couple of cases on hand. Works well as pain reliever because the ABV goes stright to your head because of the heavy carbination. I have personally drank 8 bottles in one night and found that the drunkeness provided is heavy but the same weather one has 4 bottles or 8 bottles. I have yet to have a hangover from it providing properly hydrated before going to sleep.
Warning: You will need to pee, the heavy ammounts of Vitimin C which Sams Choice adds to the juice (roughly 100mg per 8oz serving) increase the dieretic effects of the drink to a near system flush proportion. This is why after a certin ammount you never seem to get any drunker. Great if you have a drug test the next day, but then again you'll just get busted for acohal rather then anything your flushing out, you wont get fired though.
