Hard Cider

Been making some hard cider recently, now that apples are in season.  It's incredibly easy. The latest batch to come out: Hints of Citrus.

1 Gal apple juice (fresh)
1 cup orange juice
1 cup brown sugar
orange zest
Champagne yeast



















Mix ingredients, wait a week or so for fermentation, add 1 Tbsp honey to jars (for carbonation), bottle.



Next batch: Raspberry cider
1 Gal apple juice (fresh)
1 lb frozen raspberries
1 cup honey
Champagne yeast

See previous recipe for details.


More to come, hopefully.
