Stock & Row ‘slow And Low’ Dry Cider Recipe

Directions to Make Stock & Row ‘Slow and Low’ Dry Cider

1. 1

   Prepare the Apples

   Wash and core the fresh apples, then chop them into small pieces. Place them into a large pot.

2. 2

   Cook the Apples

   Add water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft.

3. 3

   Strain the Mixture

   Using a fine strainer or cheesecloth, strain the apple mixture to extract the juice. Discard the solids and return the juice to the pot.

4. 4

   Add Ingredients

   Stir in the sugar, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and lemon juice into the strained apple juice.

5. 5

   Cool and Add Yeast

   Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then sprinkle the yeast over the surface. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before stirring it in.

6. 6

   Ferment the Cider

   Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel (like a glass carboy) and seal it with an airlock. Allow the cider to ferment in a cool, dark place for about 2-4 weeks.

7. 7

   Bottling

   Once fermentation is complete, siphon the cider into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles and store them in a cool place.

8. 8

   Enjoy

   Let the cider age for at least 1 month for best flavor before serving chilled.
