Hard cider 2017
 

Where to buy?

really easy
get 100% apple juice
sugar
yeast
mix and done
i add pears and apples for flavor(no skins)

some things are better store-bought...

cool stuff :)

if you like the added chemicals yeah. it's fun to make! beer making is the best. coopers kits make 5 gallons $20 and a bag of sugar. i buy 20 pound bags of sugar. if you want a new flavor use light brown sugar.

Friend of the family brought Apple Pie moonshine for Christmas, sweet apple cinnamon taste but was 190 proof so kicked in after a few shots. His wife is already testing some new flavor recipes since that one went over so well.

you had a few??? jeezus! :helpme:helpme:helpme have not had apple pie in a long time. there is a sweet recipe on youtube. be careful making spirits that shit can blind you if you don't know what you are doing.

They live a good hour plus south of Chicago where ya can fish/hunt outta your backyard and make moonshine so I trust their skills as being hillbilly enough not to blind me. :1orglaugh I won't be making my own as I live in the city where people are nosy.

it's rare to blind you. glad you had a good time

I would say there is a 65% chance the guy in the video has human body parts in the freezer on the right. Of course his having human body parts stored in his freezer does not necessarily negate the validity and helpfulness of his apple cider brewing video.

luv his videos

:1orglaugh

oh i forgot add the raisin and dates mixture. it will give the yeast a boost! they will go wild!!

Should have titled the thread "how to make prison quality alcoholic beverages with items that can be purchased with food stamps."

oh 2017 will be a laugh 4u. don't beg :winkwink:

When I don't feel like making 5 gallon batches
Brewing caps
2 liter bottle(s)
apple juice
Yeast(a good ale yeast or champagne)
Sugar

Yes for to this time of the year

btw organic 100% apple juice mixed with vodka, mineral water and a splash of lime or lemon juice taste quite close to cider, now mix the parts of each if you like it more fruity, bubbly or stronger :)
