Started my first try at Hard Apple Cider. I got a gallon of frozen apple juice with no preservatives from Bayfield Apple Co when I was in Northern Wisconsin.
Added sugar (1/2 cup added to 1 gallon) - ABV of 1.051, or 7.l25% ABV
Pasteurized it (185 degrees for 45 minute),
Rehydrated a packet of EC1115 with 4 TBS of water (2 ounces), and added 1 TBS of that to the cooled juice.
I brought up the ABV to 7.25 %, so when I mix in 25% of unfermented apple cider, it will be about 5.6% ABV, and 1.005 SG sweetness.
Hopefully it is better than Crispin, or I'll give up making hard cider and just buy it at the store.
