Hey everyone
We have about 8 apple trees and it's getting to that time of the year that we are going to start picking and processing those apples (apple pies, apple butter, applesauce), and I'm thinking hard cider. But....but, I have no idea how to do it. Can someone give me a run down on how it works? I understand the brewing process, but I've never dabbled into cider. I see that it can be relatively easy with juices and such, but I think it'd be fun to try it with actual apples.
Is it too much work to hassle with or would it be worth our time?
Very firm apples, very sweet, pushing into a hair sour at times (which I love).
