Apple Cider 2018

It's that time again, apple harvest!

From our tree, the easy to reach apples filled 4 5-gallon buckets. Each 5 gallon bucket gives us about a gallon of juice. Our poor juicer is having a rough time, and it may be time to retire it.

All the juice was divided into two 2-gallon buckets, then potassium metabisulfate was used to sterilize it. I took a gravity reading, and it measure to be about 1.050 SG. Which would give a final ABV of 7%.

- SG 1.050
- Added Yeast Nutrient, Tannins, Yeast,

RIP.....

We lost both buckets. One because I was silly enough to think I didn't need an airlock. And the other because it took so long to get to the liquor store to buy a bigger carboy, that the wine just went bad. It smelled bad, it didn't look great, and  it was just gross.
