Here’s my recipe. I have five gallons fermenting right now.

5 gallons unpasteurized apple cider.
1 sanitized carboy
1 airlock.

Pour fresh cider into sanitized carboy. Apply airlock.

Walk away for 7-10 days. When the fermentation stops you are ready to bottle.

I like mine sparkling so I add 1/2 cup of any fermentable sugar before I bottle it. EZ caps work well. Let bottled cider sit for 2 more weeks. There’s enough yeast left that it will carbonate naturally.

It’s nice and crisp this way, not very sweet at all. I prefer mine that way.

Should end up at about 4-1/2 to 5 percent ABV.

So no pitching yeast as with beer? I had no idea. What the hell have I been waiting for?

You don’t add any yeast to your cider?
