How to Make Hard Cider Easy 1

Well this is my first video, and I did this for a friend so I wouldn't have to send her the recipe! I hope you enjoy, and I will have another video that will show the progression of the hard cider. It is also for my cousin who wanted to know how to make this stuff. Goes great with Guinness! I can float the Guinness on top of the cider to make a Snakebite, or some people call them a Black Velveteen, others just say 1/2 cider 1/2 Guinness

where's part 2? and I just bought a gallon of Apple Cider from a mennonite store nearby where I live, So it's completely rid of perservatives and all that junk that we dont want. Even has a nice health warning sticker on the side. But anyways, what should I do to make that one gallon of apple cider into hard cider, I know I am suppose to add yeast and let it sit for a couple weeks. Does it matter what kind of yeast? Like all i have at my house is bread yeast, will that work? please reply.

do you have a recipe for 1 gallon??

[jwknight43]

@kirkw95skate Let me see about doing a 1 gallon recipe this weekend for you.

why are you not supposed to use plastic containers to let it ferment in?

[jwknight43]

@ziggylogan - some people say that if you do fermenting in plastic it will actually take on some of the chemicals from the plastic...

You can but i strongly suggest you dont use it, i made my first batch when i started brewing 5 years ago and it ruined my batch, i suggest active yeast or wine/champagne yeast

[405OklahomaBrewing]

Not being picky or anything ive brewed for 5 years, you need to let all of the sugar disolve, this is how i do it, pour half of the gallon of juice in your carboy and then put a pound of sugar in the half gallon, then shake and repeat til theres no more sugar, i suggest try to make edworts apfelwein its easy to make

Yeahhhhhh ! FAIL ^^

The ascorbic acid doesn't help either, so if you can get some without it as well you'd be even better off. Sadly you don't often have the choice.

use wood or glass for your home made cider, wood will expand and move around to let the cider work free.. they use wooden barrels to make wine and gives good flavor , its all in the movement
