Never made a cider before only beer and wine. Is it too late to have a batch ready for Halloween to go with the pumpkin ale? Do you age cider like wine? Also anyone have a good beginner recipe for me to try for my first one? Ken
Just in time - for 2009. Get going.
I disagree. Get yourself filtered commercial apple juice and a real champagne yeast like EC-1118, not a slow wine yeasts known for its high nutriment requirement and sulfite production like montrachet. Watch your ferment terminate under one week and clear tree weeks later. Bottle and start drinking one week after that. It might not be the finest, but it's good stuff, that's the advantage of filtered juice, it's fast.
Do you carbonate cider just like beer? Ken
