I was bored and didn't have time for a full brew day, so I mixed up my first cider, based loosely on EdWort's Apfelwine recipe:
- 4.85 gal Tree Top apple juice
- 2 lbs light brown sugar (instead of dextrose)
- 1 sachet Nottingham dry yeast (instead of champagne yeast
Mixed it all together and pitched my yeast.
I'm hoping for a sweeter, less dry cider that my wife will enjoy, hence the choice of yeast... she does not like beer or wine. I'll force carb to 3 volumes or so in 4 weeks. Here's to hoping for the best!
