Hard Cider Update.

The cider I started in September is ready and it tastes... kinda like a dry white wine. I must admit, that I don't know what a hard cider is supposed to taste like, but I enjoyed my glass.

I was surprised at how much sediment settled out. Also, I now regret going through all trouble of processing all those apples to only make one gallon. However, I think it's not bad for a first attempt at homebrewing.

(Apples on Sale + Brewers Yeast) x Time = Cider?


The hardware store across the street had apples on sale for ten cents each, so I decided to try my hand at fermenting a one gallon batch of cider.

I'm using a ale yeast that they recommended at the brew supply store down the road, "Saison II Ale Yeast". 

I'm told it should take three weeks to ferment... I hope it tastes good.
