Cider Ingredients

Method

Cider Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash and chop the fresh apples. If you have a juicer, juice the apples to extract the cider. If not, blend the chopped apples with water and strain the mixture through a cheesecloth to separate the juice.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the apple juice, the remaining water, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Yeast

    Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and stir gently. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to activate the yeast.

  4. 4

    Fermentation

    Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel (like a glass carboy) and seal it with an airlock. Let it ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1 to 2 weeks, or until fermentation has slowed down.

  5. 5

    Bottling

    Once fermentation is complete, siphon the cider into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon for flavor before sealing the bottles.

  6. 6

    Carbonation

    Seal the bottles and let them sit at room temperature for another 1 to 2 weeks to carbonate. After this, refrigerate and enjoy your Ace Perry Hard Cider!
