.....and BOY is it ever DRY! If you like apple cider and dry wine, you gotta try this out!!

1 Gallon of cider
1 cup of raisins
1 packet of champagne yeast

Let work for about 2 months.
Tap it off the lees, bottle it and let set in the fridge for another month or so.

This stuff will make you throw rocks through your own windows!! :gig

If you like stuff a little bit sweeter, like my wife does, add a trickle of maple syrup into the glass before you pour the cider in.
SHAZAMM!!! :D

Soooooo...any chance you could ship a jug or two, or would it require special handling (like nitroglycerin)...? :lol:

I'll have some of that!!!!

I didn't gather any apples this year though :( or I'd love to make some. Guess I'll have to wait and see how my wine experiment turned out.

So what exactly is your address for the party, SKR8PN? ;) :lol:
