Basic Hard Cider Recipe:
This is a 1 gallon recipe.
Scale up all ingredients (*except yeast) to brew any size batch of cider.
*1 pack of yeast is enough to ferment 1-5 gallons of cider per pack. (Do not attempt to store unused portion of yeast.)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Gallon fresh pressed CIDER (NO Preservatives, unpasteurized if possible)
- 1 package YEAST (see below)
- Pasteur Champagne Yeast (dry)
- or Lavlin EC-1118 (sweet)
- or WYEAST CIDER YEAST (Special Order - Now IN STOCK)
½ tsp. Yeast Nutrient (boosts yeast activity) ½ tsp. Pectic enzyme (helps clarify cider) 8-16 oz. Corn Sugar (or table sugar, malt extract, honey etc.)
*For apple wine, add an additional 8-16 oz. of sugar (per gallon) (Optional) 1 campden tablet (crush) OR 1/8 tsp Potassium Metabisulfite
DIRECTIONS: Crush and Mix campden tablet(s) and cider in a sealable fermenting vessel and allow to sit for 24 hours. During this time, the Campden tablet/sulfite is killing the wild yeasts already present on the apple skins. When the campden has de-activated 24 hrs later, stir in remaining ingredients (except yeast) then sprinkle pack of yeast on top and attach airlock (1/2 filled with water). Ferment at 60-75 F. The yeast will begin to ferment the sugar and produce sediment, (which will drop to the bottom), alcohol, (Our real goal here :) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which escapes through the airlock, without allowing harmful bacteria to enter.
After 1-2 weeks, bubbling in the airlock will subside (1+ minute between bubbles) and it's time to bottle.
For Apple Wine:
Transfer into another clean fermenter and wait 2 weeks. Then add 1 campden tablet per gallon and bottle.
*For apple wine you may also add an additional 8-16 oz. of sugar during the first step (see above) and ferment an additional 1-2 weeks*
For Sparkling (Carbonated) Hard Apple Cider:
Add one ounce of dextrose (brewer's sugar) per gallon of cider, mix in and bottle (in beer bottles, with caps). Allow to sit for 2+ weeks @ 60-75 F. to carbonate. Chill and enjoy.
