Fun day at work, yesterday. A good year for apples, and what better way to celebrate than to make cider the old-fashioned way? It was a fairly wet day, but that didn't dampen our spirits. We made 17.5 gallons of cider, filling 34 half gallon jugs. Great times shared by all

Me too. Real, dry, flat cider is the only way.Originally Posted by luresalive
Should try the cornish mead that I am supping at the moment. Rather tasty and a little potent at 17%!
Only 17%??
Just kidding, 17-20% is perfect for sipping with a good book late at night
I've heard one can ferment apple cider up to 40% (backwoods-Bob style), but most recipes are around the 6-10% mark, good for sessioning. Don't want to get bombed-out, especially since it's delicious
