Hello everyone,
I'm getting ready to harvest apples from my front yard, and I'd like to make the simplest, least chemically treated hard cider.
Should I go the boil route to sanitize, or the no-boil route?
I'm committed to yeast (I love those little guys), and don't want a really wine-y tasting cider. Any suggestions?
Any other things I need to know coming from beer?
I'm hoping to do a 5 Gallon batch. Any cider beyond that will likely get consumed raw.
Thanks!
