Apple Cider

[Hinotori]

I don't care for most wines so I haven't asked much about it.

Hard apple cider is coming along nicely. Still blowing bubbles. Its really lightened up.

That looks good enough to drink!

You should go into business!

There's this pesky entity called the government.

I love cider. I hope it turns out good

Mike's Smashed or Angry Orchard?

He have ignition, honestly I was was expecting a more vigorous ferment at the start. But the apple juice was very clean to begin with, it was filtered and it's not ale yeast.

Angry Orchard is ok. The Woodchuck dark and dry was one of my favorites but I haven't seen it in years.

Trader Joes has a very good house brand. There are several local small time ones as well.

My favorite apple juice is unfiltered and unpasteurized, then left for several days in the fridge. Makes it nicely carbonated.

Cider & strawberry wine have been fermenting strong non-stop since pitching the yeast. The laundry room smells fruity. My wife even commented how good it smells in there. I guess she doesn't mind that I took up a little space in the laundry room then

Both have lightened considerably since, I first made them. When will they stop? When they run out of sugar or die off from alcohol poisoning - I guess.

Bottled up 66 12 ounce beer bottles - yielded a little over 6 gallons. Now it needs to bottle condition & carbonate for at least 2 weeks (more time is better).
