Method
Cider Preparation
Prepare the Apples
Wash the apples thoroughly and chop them into quarters, leaving the skins on.
Juicing the Apples
Place the chopped apples in a cider press or food processor and extract the juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
Add Yeast
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Stir gently to combine.
Fermentation
Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel (like a glass carboy), attach an airlock, and let it ferment in a cool, dark place for 1 to 2 weeks.
Maturation
Let the bottled cider age for an additional 2 to 4 weeks in a cool place to develop flavor.
Serve
Chill the cider before serving. Enjoy your homemade York County Cider!
