      @mclaincausey said in Cider......:

      seal in glass, store in a cool place, wait a week or two.

      @mclaincausey Seal in glass, but please use an airlock! Glass and sealed pressure are a bad combination.

              @Giles has there been a common flavor profile in these ciders? Also, do you have a preferred flavor profile? Thinking dryness/sweetness, effervescence, funkiness, etc. also curious about the gravity; guessing these have some body to them.

              When I get off the water wagon in a couple of months I’m going to drink lots of cider.

              I like them dry and sometimes funky, sometimes effervescent personally.

              Think it, be it.

                Not too fizzy and all pretty clean and dry. None of the regular restaurant ones are that strong (maybe 4.5%), but the one we bought from Tabac (and made out the back), packed a punch. Nothing too funky yet either....

                      Dammmmm…I’ll make a visit to Brittany a TOP PRIORITY after seeing all these cider possibilities.
                      This forum is bad influence on several fronts, all of them boiling down to wallet blows.

                      The journey is the objective.
