Hey guys.
My only experience similar to cider was Apfelwine. Apple juice with Lavalin 1118 yeast. I put it on tap and I like it even though it is very dry.
Today I collected apples from a local tree. I'm not sure what variety. I plan to press them and use them with about 50% commercial apple juice and some S-04 yeast and then keg it.
Do you guys have any input about how this would taste? Any other ideas? Pasteurizing? Adding different sugars for flavor? I would like this batch to have a little more sweetness and body/mouth feel. Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks
