Making An Apple and Honey Hard Cider / Ceyser: Turbo Cider Method

[@DreamsCatcher101]

Just brewed my cider yesterday thought I'd come to see how others do it. And come across another Leeds lad.

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Good to meet you! I'm actually Barnsley born but lived in Leeds since '97, so I guess that makes me a naturalised native now!

[@Whenisthelaughter]

What I used to do is if you want it a bit sweeter but still strong brew it the same but put a drop of the juice inside and it works a treat

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Good suggestion! 🍻

[@buddymc]

Get some powdered tannin. It's cheap and easy to use.

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Never heard of that, will have a look. How much per gallon?

[@buddymc]

@@MossHomeandGarden 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon

[@MossHomeandGarden]

@@buddymc Thanks, I’ll look into getting some.

Right teaching . Cheers .

Good stuff man, hope your channel blows up. Maybe try the shorts game.

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Cheers Dean, I'm trying to build the channel, it will take time. I've bought an air still and have just started experimenting with it, films up on stilling around Christmas(ish) probably.

Wow, nice one bruv. You could add but honey in the bottle as well add bit of sugar in it if you want to have more honey-flavored. Also, did you do make ciders as hobby or you used to work in brewery factory hence your skills alone?

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Hi Aaron, thanks for the comment. Yes adding honey in the bottle would be a good idea also. I've never worked in alcohol production (although I'm considering it for the future). My dad was a home brewer so I learned my skills from him during childhood and teen years. I was an active brewer 25 years ago, but packed it in. I restarted during lockdown through boredom and haven't looked back since. Cheers!

7% is the optimum ABV to hit the bloodstream immediately.

[@MossHomeandGarden]

The 8% works pretty good too! 🍻

[@wynkindeworde6504]

@@MossHomeandGarden It will but the effect will be slower as your body searches for liquid to water the alcohol down in your stomach.

[@mattjames9868]

So if I wanted to make 12ltrs of this how much honey to apple juice should I use?

[@MossHomeandGarden]

Multiply everything I did by 2.5 and that should be about right I think. Enjoy!

[@mattjames9868]

Thanks! I’ll give it a go. I’m a cider drinker and think it’s about time I make my own :)

[@MossHomeandGarden]

@@mattjames9868Enjoy the process!

[@tomtamblyn1149]

Good to see someone boiling honey to ferment it. Using carbonation pills is depriving you of the joys of disgorgement .. you could have added sugar to get the alcohol up to 12%.. but a good start…..
