2 Gals Apple cider (I used Louisburg because the Rees store was closed)
10 cans Old Orchard concentrate
EC-1118
Because this will jacked, I didn't mind using the alternative cider but next time I will NOT deviate from my local provider!
Cider SG was around 1.040, brought it up to 1.090@55F (1.0895 corrected)
with concentrate (I probably could have added 5 more cans since I'm using 1118)
It's a bit more expensive than using plain sugar, but I want to test for flavor by using only sugars produced by the apple.
When it's dry it'll go into the "jacker" for a few days. I'm working on a simple strainer/container that will fit in the "jacker" so the alcohol can be sifted out of the slushy goodness. I will record FG and then accurately measure my volumes before and after the jack in hopes of finding a good approximate ABV reading.
