A wacky recipe (the only kind I know?) for SWEET APPLE CIDER:
Buy a gallon of quality apple juice
pour out a glass
add 1/4 cup sugar
shake like crazy, shake it good
add 1/4 tsp of wine yeast - Lalvin EC 1118 is best and your local wine-making supplies store will have it
put the top on loose
set it on the floor on a tray out of the way
after the bottle starts foaming (2-3 days) put it in the fridge
leave the top loose!
Makes a nice after Thanksgiving dinner drink. VERY little alcohol (1/10 of a percent?)
Yes, there’s a wine-making supply shop near you. It’s a fun and easy hobby.
I recommend https://www.homebrewtalk.com/edworts-apflewine.html for an easy start in winemaking.
But this recipe is just for fizz, not alcohol LOL!
That recipe is for cold climates. (If the fridge is full you can put the bottle outside in the cold to slow the yeast down.)
In warm climates add a ‘breathing’ tape around the loose top.
My husband loves Apple Cider, hard OR soft; I’ll save this.
