Concentration Cider

Concentration Cider

Brew day, we bought 6 cans of apple juice concentrate and a  Cider yeast then did 10 minuets of Googleing and came up with this. It produced 2 gallons and I fermented for one week not expecting it to be extremely hard.

Bottling day, to charge the bottles I just used one can of apple juice concentrate, it was a lot more sugar than it needed so I had to check them frequently. The reason for so much concentrate I wanted it to be sweet.

Opening day, its very sweet and low in alcohol, very drinkable but you need a bunch to get a buzz. It still ad a little yeast smell when first opened, but longer we leave them in the bottles the less the smell. Next time well ferment it longer and use less sugar on bottling day

Double Honey Double

Double Honey Double, Dara got the recipe kit from Fermentation Solutions in Campbell but she had the flu so she sleep through the brew day.

Brewing day, I made this one with some Medrio coworkers Saeed, Joe, Sravan and +Saeed Gatson  and his girlfriend Cherie. We didn't hit the starting gravity number of 1066.

I left it too long in the bottles before refrigeration it and so I think we may have over carbonated it because it is a little bubbly.
