I was wondering if anyone would know any improvements to this recipe. I made it once before and I liked the taste from the honey vs. sugar that I have used before. I do not bottle my cider. After initial fermentation in a glass carboy I rack into a bucket with airlock and a spout. When I want some cider I just pour myself some instead of having to open a bottle. The cider is not going to be getting aged for months before it will be drank.
5gal apple Juice.
2 tbsp yeast nutrient
2.5 cups honey
1 pkg RedStar Champagne Yeast E491
When I made this before I racked it two weeks after I initially made it. It looked as though after one week the fermentation may have been done.
Starting gravity was 1.058 and ended at .996 measured about 3months later.
