So a good buddy and I got a wild hair and decided to try cider.
I have read several threads about it but I feel more lost about making cider then I ever did with brewing beer.
Today we bought five, one gallon jugs of UV treated apple cider.
We placed all of them in the fridge and bought two bottles of Crispin cider (we both like this brand) we left about a half inch of cider left in each bottle and dumped the yeast in the bottom into a starter.
The plan is to use the yeast to make our own cider.
I am just confused of the process.
We have a 5.5 gallon better bottle and a 6 gallon glass carboy. we plan on starting the fermentation in the better bottle then racking to the glass carboy for a few months.
After reading several more threads today it seems like the 'set and forget' method isn't for cider making.
Could someone point me to, or give me pointers on how to create a great tasting cider that is sweet like crispin cider?
