i like a sweet, sparkling cider but it's tricky to make. easiest is a dry cider that's super potent and tastes like vodka basically.
anyone else ever brew this stuff?
- Yep. Parents had an apple orchard. We pressed, we brewed, we drank, we fell over. Awesome days.Morning_star
- that's fuckin' legit... growing your own. how would you describe the stuff you made?scarabin
- Theres a real art to it. We probably made around 50 gallons per season. We,d harvest the apples about September. The first batch would be ready about now.Morning_star
- We'd enter it into a big local country show. It was not too strong (5-8%), dry and fruity. Our apples gave it quite a crisp taste. There was a cider brewery...Morning_star
- ...at the local pub. They brewed a cider called Black Rat. It was so strong they would mark your hand every time you had one. They would only serve ...Morning_star
- ...half pints. On several occasions the fifteen minute walk home took several hours :)Morning_star
