Cider Update

A little over a week ago I blogged about making hard cider. I started with two gallons of Whole Foods 100% Apple Juice in glass bottles and a package of s-O4 yeast. It bubbled for a week and then stopped. It was actually pretty cool to see the science going on in the laundry room. When it stopped bubbling I moved the jugs to the Sub-Zero to let the yeast settle to the bottom. We finally sampled the hooch tonight. It was good enough for Andrea to ask for a second round. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the dry hard cider. It was tasty and not too sweet. It has a bit of a kick to it as well. In a couple of days I will siphon out the cider and discard the yeast collecting in the bottom of the jug. Something tells me I need to make another trip to whole foods. This is good stuff!
