How to make HARD APPLE CIDER at home with 10% of Alcohol - Homemade Apple Wine

[@DROD_LORD]

I made apple cider & pear cider last year, both were delicious, I used 10kg of apples and made 5lt of cider, I used apple cider yeast, fermentation was complete after 8 weeks, had 12%abv

Fun facts, cider is always made from apples. If it is made from pears it is called perry ^^ Also in UK english, cider always refer to the drink that have alcohol in it. Where as in US english this is called hard cider. So what you made here is called hard cider in the US, but cider in UK (and the rest of EU) :)

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Cider is the nectar of the gods if you ask me.

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

That's true. But also here in the U.S. you can just say "cider", and based on the context people will usually understand whether you mean "hard cider" or "fresh cider" (fresh apple juice crushed by hand in a wooden bucket press).

[@mountainben88]

A Know of a town that has to make their own wine or travel to another town, the town or stores does don't allow real alcohols to be sold in stores or bars but allows homemade wines. Apple, honey and strawberry seems to be the most common wines. That just happens to be the fruit sold the most in town. The locals hate drunks and love homemade apple pie. A town that loves fake beer. No loose morals in that town. The locals want the cops to hold people for 24 hours for using the F word.

Andrea, what a coincidence! Just before I saw this video I bottled my own cider. I used four liters of natural juice and champagne yeast. It took two weeks to ferment and should be 3% alcohol. Great video as always! Stay safe.

[@fabbricaitalianaautomobili5859]

Superb Chris, the difference (in speed and taste is the natural in Andreas case) yeast you used , don’t be shy add a kilo of sugar for more kick. Keep enjoying. But drink with moderation… 😜👍🍸🍾🥂

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Bravo 👍🏼 drink with moderation

[@juandelacruz-ny6xy]

Hi, you'll get more juice if mash or even grate the apples first before pressing. Me personally I just use a juicer then pass it through a fine cheese clothe. I get about 75 to 80 percent juice by weight of the apples. You could easily get 6 liters of juice from the apples you used,

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Hello from CFS! We are currently working on our 14th batch of cider at home and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Are you always using a natural fermentation and not introducing a yeast? Also, we never thought to use the hydrometer holder as a cylinder to pour your test liquid into….that saves so much juice!!! Best, David and Rachel

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

You can use both wild or select yeast , different yeast different results you can make small quantity to taste it 😉 Thanks for sharing your experience

in my opinion natural apple yeast is better than other yeasts Because apple yeast does not give bad taste and sour smell to wine.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Ok 👍🏼 thanks for sharing your experience 🍷

[@Zach-sg5uu]

Also, some people seem to be allergic to store-bought yeast! Just like some people are allergic to American pasteurized milk. Mostly because of the pasteurization and perhaps the type of cow.

Als je het leuk vindt wijn te maken, probeer dan eens mede te maken. Ik maak al 30 jaar fruitwijnen, ciders en mede. Met mede heb de de meeste mogelijkheden van allemaal. Van zoet naar droog en alles er tussenin. Van gewoon naar bruisend of er tussenin. Met kruiden, zonder kruiden, met fruit, zonder fruit, met graan, zonder graan, met specerijen, zonder specerijen, met alles wat ik net vernoemde tegelijk… of gewoon op zijn eenvoudigst: honing, water en gist. Wetenschappers denken dat mede misschien de oudste soort alcohol ter wereld was. Er zijn 8000 jaar oude vermeldingen gevonden in teksten uit China. Er eaten sporen van gegiste honing in bekers uit het oude Egypte. Niet alleen de Vikings maakten blijkbaar mede. Veel plezier bij het maken van jullie eigen wijnen (en andere drankjes)!

Hello again! So I made two batches. One turned really sour, so airlock probably not sealed right, the other better but still a little bit on the sour side, but I think thats more to do with the apples I used. But it made me wonder - how would you describe the taste? Should it be sweet? A little acidic? Balanced? I never tasted hard cider before trying this, so I have nothing to compare with. 😊🌟🥂 It was fun to make. 7 litres. Thank you so much!!

I just use "Star san"(StellarSan) in my airlock. At a no-rinse concentration. The most convenient brewing product I've ever used. I have a local supplier who will juice apples to order, so I can just buy 40 litres which is the minimum and do two big batches, sometimes I like to dry hop it with citra or nelson sauvign or add other fruits.

[@stefimandi186]

what if you put the chopped apples into a strong ziplock bag, and break with with a rolling pin? when the apples are smashed, you just cut a small hole on the plastic bag and the juice just dripping out? A couple of years ago I made it with red current - by accident. Just forgot a bottle of diluted, sugar sweetened red current juice in the fridge. When a couple of weeks later I wanted to free some space, opened it. Too bad that immediately the so-believed syrup sprinkled out, covering my face, the wall, the ceiling, practically the whole kitchen. The glassful of red current juice remained in the bottle was the best sparkling wine I've ever tasted, including some high rated champagne.

[@Hoochfox]

I made perry using more or less this technique last autumn, and the result was very good. Two things I did differently, though: -Pasteurized the must, then added pectinase to reduce haziness (may increase methanol; be careful) -Added new yeast ('Brand X' wine yeast in first half of the batch, and a raspberry leaf bearing wild yeast from outdoors for the second) Next time I might use wild yeast for the whole batch, or just skip the pasteurization entirely. I intend to make my own press for next time rather than ever trying to wring a gallon of juice from fruit again, because frankly that will take less time and effort to build than to do without.

Awesome... Looks like full awesomeness included ...

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Thanks 🥳👍🏼

[@robertpettigrew9042]

Andrea, did you add yeast or just the natural yeast on the apples?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Just natural yeast from the apples 🍏

What is the expected shelf life of this cider? Is there any tips on how to make it last longer?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Usually 1 year

What is the different between apple wine and hard apple cider? Apple wine uses yeast, apples and maybe a little sugar and an energizer.

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Probably they’re the same

My Grandfather made cider on his Dorset farm. It was normal between the wars. Sometimes they'd find bones in the vats after draining. Rats on the beams above overcome by the fumes.

[@jeremyatkinson4976]

@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolatoThat's proper cider. Some would put a joint of meat in to give the cider something to work on. [Kills all known germs, like drain cleaner], post-mortem doctors said cider alkys were lovely and clean inside when opened up for inspection.

Thanks for the information 👍🏼

Awesome video, I love your channel. I have a question about F2 (2nd fermentation): Did you burp your bottles during F2? 10 days is a long time, I'm afraid they'll explode! I make kombucha and I only let my grolsch bottles sit on the counter for 3 days during F2, before cold crashing in the fridge. Thanks, I will definitely try this recipe :-)

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

If you follow all the steps you will have not problems. I keep the bottles close but add not more then 8 g of sugar per liter, if the bottles is 500 ml only 4 g of sugar 😉👍🏼

[@hardnachopuppy]

Can i use readymade apple juice and add the yeast starter from the homemade yeast video Also can i make it clear with bentonite clay?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Probably yes 👍🏼 I never used bentonite clay

Aah another spectacular recipe 👌 By the way, I tried to buy alcohol locally for making your Cointreau version. My goodness, it's cheaper to buy the real thing 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

🥳👍🏼🍾 thanks 😩 sorry for your Cointreau 😬

[@corinfletcher]

Did you pasteurize or just calculate the time and sugar you added at the end?

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Just calculate the sugar

[@2frogland]

i make it the traditional way no yeast or sugar just a mix of sweet and cooking apples, the apples already have yeast

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

Bravo 👍🏼🍾

[@juliadiwidjaja8336]

Do I need to boil the apple juice? it is very hard to sanitize the filter

[@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato]

You can 👍🏼
