Cider prefers to be stored 32-38F Degrees. If you get a little bubbly it is still safe, use it for mixed drinks, baking, marinades, or salad dressing. Cider is excellent in pancake mix as a sweetener and a leavening agent! Enjoy the fruits of our labor! Have a safe and beautiful season!

Hard Apple Cider

1 imperial gal (4.5 l) of Wilsons' Banner ranch Fresh Apple Cider (it has no preservatives)
adjust sugar content to desired level
1/2 tsp. pectin enzyme powder
1 tsp. acid blend
1/4 tsp. grape tannin
1/2 tsp. yeast energizer
2 Camden tablets
1 packet all purpose wine yeast

Crush and dissolve Camden tablets in a cup of warm water and mixwell with the FRESH apple juice in your primary fermenter. Letstand over-night. Mix in all other ingredients except yeast makingsure everything is dissolved, then sprinkle yeast over top of juice and cover with plastic sheet and ferment 3 to 5 days. Rack (siphon)into secondary fermenter and attach air lock. Rack again in 3 weeks.When all fermentation is finished, rack into a clean vessel andadd 2 oz of white sugar and gently stir well. (I usually put the sugar into a bit of water and dissolve it first by boiling it inthe microwave) When sugar is well mixed, bottle and age 3 months.This will give you a crisp, carbonated hard cider.

Note: The more sugar you add, the more alcohol you will get, butthe longer it will take to ferment. I would recommend from 1/2 to1 pound per gal/4.5 l and not more than 2 lbs.
