New England Hard Cider



Found this photo on a blog called The Field Guide.  Really good example of fermenting cider.




5 GALLONS
Ingredients:


  • 5 gals. fresh-pressed sweet cider, emphasis in the blend on acidic (as much as 40 percent) and astringent apples (8 to 10 percent)
  • 4 cups cane sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. acid blend
  • 1/2 tsp. yeast nutrient
  • 7 grams wine yeast
  • 1/3 cup corn sugar
Step by Step:


Add sugar, acid, and nutrient to cider and ferment with yeast. Rack after five weeks. Bottle in 16-oz. beer bottles at about 20 weeks, priming with corn sugar. Bottle condition for 10 to 12 weeks.
