Apple Cider

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

The day after Thanksgiving I started fermenting a half gallon of apple juice. I wanted to see what apple cider would taste like without bubbles and without added sugar.

It tastes very bitter, but is full of alcohol. Next I will be freezing it into Apple Jack. My experiment was to see how long it would take to ferment on just it’s own sugars. My next batch will have added sugar for sweetness and to make it sparkly.
