My wife and I went to the Farmers Market today and got 10 gals of pastuerized cider with NO preservatives so we could try a couple of batches of hard cider. I have questions.
First, i plan to add honey to each batch and want to how how much brown sugar to add as well. I can go with 1 or 2 qts of honey.
Second, how long to ferment and at what temp? My primary fermenting chamber for beer is mid 60s and my lagering chamber is empty right now so I can set it anywhere.
When I bottle will it carbonate itself or do I use conditioning tablets as with beer?
Since this my wife's baby I want it to turn out really well.
Any help is appreciated.
Pls excuse typos - I'M on my iPad.
