So, I've been experimenting with making cheap apple cider. I tried this because I wondered what would happen when I combined hops to a cider and it turned out to be a must have by all who tried it.
Need a cheap and easy beverage, in between brews, and don't want to pull out the kettle this weekend? Mix a cider!
5 gal 100% Apple Juice (I got mine from Shop 'N Save, $1.87 per 2 qt.)
1 oz Cascade hop pellets (I should've put mine in a hop ball/sock to reduce particles in the cider)
1 package Champagne dry yeast
Mix everything in a fermentor and let sit for about 3 weeks or until you can't stand it any longer.
Tastes like a delicious mix of apple and citrus fruits. Smells like Cascade hops. Light and delicious!
