Hard cider again
I made up about 13 gallons of hard cider. Pretty simple recipe this time.

First batch, High gravity peach cider - a little different than the other recipe.

5 gallons fresh pressed apple cider, pressed that day. I pasteurized it myself.

5 lbs. sugar

7 lbs. peaches (dealt with as in the peach cider recipe.)

Yeast nutrients.

Wine yeast.

2: High gravity plain cider

same as above, but without peaches.


3: 3 gallons cider

yeast nutrients

wine yeast

NOTE - no added sugar - I wanted to see if I would like a low alcohol version. (that's why I only made 3 gallons)


I added sugar to the first too to boost the alcohol level way up. You would never use cane sugar in beers because it produces cider-like flavors during germination, but seeing I'm making cider - doesn't matter one bit.
