First time cider brewer. I have some experience with beer and mead. A couple weeks ago I had a wonderful dream where I visited a friend's dream cidery, and she gave me a glass of cider, and it was delicious. Lightly colored, smelled fruity (darker berries) and slightly floral. A little acidic and sparkling. It had a light body and I don't think the mouthfeel was oaky but it tasted slightly oaky. It was definitely apple-y but not too apple-y somehow.
I understand the basic cider process, but I don't know how to work backwards from this to put together a recipe. I'm thinking about D47 as the yeast, but other than that, I don't know where to go from here.
