A bit of a silly question, as I sit here starting a new blog. I have so much going on in my mind that I figure I should get it all out somewhere. My newest project will be home brewing hard cider. I know it isn't ground breaking and a lot of people think they are "brew masters". I hope this blog will be informative and since there are about a million different ways to brew a cider, I'd like to document all the different ways I choose to brew.
For my inaugural brew I will be using the following;
1 gallon carboy with airlock
White Labs WLP 775 English Cider Yeast
LD Carlson Yeast Nutrient
LD Carlson Corn Sugar
I haven't decided on what kind of apple juice or cider to use. I will be headed to the market tomorrow to browse through the aisles. I ordered the above equipment from Amazon (I need to find a local brew shop) and once the equipment arrives I will be documenting the process. I am super excited, but then again I also have a history a quitting projects or not following through. It's kind of a problem.
Edit** Went to the store and picked up this brand of
cider juice;
White House Orchards Fresh Pressed Apple Juice
Just like that, my first blog post since I spent a summer in Kansas (long story) in 2008. To all those curious about home brewing cider, stay tuned!
Always,
Happy Penguin!
