My first hard cider – I slacked off a BUNCH in making a post about this one!
2013-06-14
Based on the recipe presented in BrewingTV ep. 67, but modified a bit.
About 1 gallon
Sorry, forgot to take pictures!
But, the OG was 1.060, and came down to 1.002 at bottling – putting the numbers into a calculator, it comes out to about 7.6% ABV and 202 calories per 12oz.
I actually did a second batch of this (0x0003) – changed the yeast to ‘Pasteur Champagne’ Red Star, and used Apple Valley apple cider (hand pressed at a local orchard).
I also decided to test out back-sweetening – I back-sweetened 3 bottles with Old Orchard Apple Raspberry frozen concentrate (about 2 tbsp worth), and left one bottle unsweetened.
The sweetened ones tasted fantastic – nice and carbed. No pictures of that batch either!
