This was my first attempt at a cider. I think it came out very tasty so I thought I would share the recipe.
A lot of the sugar fortified ciders taste too dry/hot for me so I thought I would attempt to build a cider that had some kick but did not use any sugar to boost SG. I accomplished this by using pure juice and sweetening it with concentrate. I also used concentrate for carbonation.
Recipe:
4 gallons, treetop apple juice
8 16oz cans treetop concentrate.
Carbonate with 16oz treetop concentrate
This created a cider that still retained a lot of apple flavor and does not taste real boozy. The 30 days in secondary probably help this quite a bit as well.
I just finished my first glass and I believe I will have another. That may be a little dangerous though.:cross:
