My first hard~ish cider. Your thoughts?


This is my first real attempt at a hard cider and I would like to get your thoughts on it.


This will be for one gallon so if I mess it up its only 1 gallon:


1 Cup wildflower honey
1 can applejuice concentrate
enough Organic natural apple juice to top up to 1 gallon
1tsp Acid Blend

standard nutrient addition will be used

R-2 or K1v-1116 yeast


What do you guys think?

I think you're well on your way to cider!

One note - i'm thinking the honey in the primary isn't going to lend a lot to the taste of the final product. I did a honey batch, the only thing it did for me was boost the abv of the cider. Now, backsweetening with honey was very nice

I'd go with an ale yeast, you'll get more flavour with ale yeast in a cider than with a wine yeast.
