Any favorite recipies/yeast?
I have some red star montrachet going, some 05 safale, some lager (cant recall the #) all in various cider/pseudo-pulque recipies...
I had cider for the first time last year when I was in England. I thought that stuff was really good!
super easy for starters... 1 gallon of PASTURIZED, no additives apple juice, one cup of corn sugar (or 3/4 cup brown sugar), 1/2 package of red start montrachet and air lock it... after 1-2 weeks (depending on bubbles) add a kick starter of sugar syrup made from your original starter IF you wanna make it sparkle... and wait...
waiting is the hard part...
most apple juice jugs take a 7.5 or 8.5 bored stopper... since it's pasturized its super easy since your fermenting in the jug you bought it in...
Its basically it, fermented hard cider... :) Ideally you have fresh ground/pressed cider but, since this is pasturized (if you buy the right brand) it makes it much easier... The yeast and sugar you use, and your process impacts the dryness/flava/ABV... ;)
