Hi guys,
My local grocer is selling apples really cheap and I really want to try my hand at making hard cider.
I don't have a juice or a press and if possible would like to avoid buying one.
Can I use the nylon bag method or it is not recommended for cider?
Also, I'd like a carbonated/fizzy final product. How would I go about archiving that? I don't know if its "safe" just bottling at 5-6% and letting the yeast keep going, and also I cant figure out how to get around clearing the cider and still keeping enough active suspended yeast to do the job.
So far all I've got is that I need around 180 mixed apples for a 5 Gal batch.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
