Hey all. My name is Steve. I signed up over a month ago, but have been so busy pouring through so many threads and reading my book on cider crafting that I have not made it to this thread/section. My buddy and I started brewing a few months ago with Mr. Beer. He brews beer and I remain true to cider crafting. I've long enjoyed the nectar of the gods known to mortals as cider and recently decided to try my hand at making my own. Some of my favorites are Strongbow, Crispin, Angry Orchard, and Magners. The new Woodchuck Belgian limited edition is pretty tasty and Hornsby Crisp Apple is ok, but otherwise I don't care for the run of the mill (pun intended) Woodchuck, Ace, etc. I thought I enjoyed semi dry ciders. but after reading and trying my first taste of EdWort's Apfelwein, have realizing my American taste buds enjoy the backsweetened variety. I'm originally from NYC, have now lived in AZ for 11 years.
I have enjoyed reading hours of posts, appreciate all of your patient, helpful responses and knowledge that you have shared. I am reading http://www.amazon.com/Cider-Making-Using-Enjoying-Edition/dp/1580175201 and learning new things every day. I most enjoy your replies and posts imparting knowledge you learned along the way, helping me to avoid common newbie mistakes and steering us in the right direction. Feel free to contact me should you have any good newbie friendly recipes other than EdWort's Epic Apfelwein. I currently have EdWort's Apfelwein and NineMilBill's Blackberry cider in the works and have plans to make a few 1 gallon batches to experiment with different ingredients such as brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, honey, and different yeasts as soon as I find a few good 1 gallon recipes. I look forward to getting to know all of your fellow cider enthusiasts. Cheers!
