I made apple cider & pear cider last year, both were delicious, I used 10kg of apples and made 5lt of cider, I used apple cider yeast, fermentation was complete after 8 weeks, had 12%abv
Fun facts, cider is always made from apples. If it is made from pears it is called perry ^^ Also in UK english, cider always refer to the drink that have alcohol in it. Where as in US english this is called hard cider. So what you made here is called hard cider in the US, but cider in UK (and the rest of EU) :)
That's true. But also here in the U.S. you can just say "cider", and based on the context people will usually understand whether you mean "hard cider" or "fresh cider" (fresh apple juice crushed by hand in a wooden bucket press).
A Know of a town that has to make their own wine or travel to another town, the town or stores does don't allow real alcohols to be sold in stores or bars but allows homemade wines. Apple, honey and strawberry seems to be the most common wines. That just happens to be the fruit sold the most in town. The locals hate drunks and love homemade apple pie. A town that loves fake beer. No loose morals in that town. The locals want the cops to hold people for 24 hours for using the F word.
Andrea, what a coincidence! Just before I saw this video I bottled my own cider. I used four liters of natural juice and champagne yeast. It took two weeks to ferment and should be 3% alcohol. Great video as always! Stay safe.
Superb Chris, the difference (in speed and taste is the natural in Andreas case) yeast you used , don’t be shy add a kilo of sugar for more kick. Keep enjoying. But drink with moderation… 😜👍🍸🍾🥂
Hi, you'll get more juice if mash or even grate the apples first before pressing. Me personally I just use a juicer then pass it through a fine cheese clothe. I get about 75 to 80 percent juice by weight of the apples. You could easily get 6 liters of juice from the apples you used,
Oh yes ! Finally a 2022 home made wine video !😁 And as always easy and delicious. I tried a while ago with apple juice...but not so happy with the acidity😅 Thanks Andrea ! 🙏🏼
Hi, thank you for this. I followed this recipe and the batch is currently fermenting. I used a kitchen aid tool to chop the apples into smaller pieces and got about 4l of apple juice from 5 kgs of apples. I however removed the center part from the apples. Winter is coming to Finland so not sure when this batch will be done.
Hello from CFS! We are currently working on our 14th batch of cider at home and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Are you always using a natural fermentation and not introducing a yeast? Also, we never thought to use the hydrometer holder as a cylinder to pour your test liquid into….that saves so much juice!!! Best, David and Rachel
Finally after 6 weeks it was done. Spectacular 🤪Keep making wine recipe. We love to watch it and helps new brewers like us. Best wine making channel on TH-cam
Thank you for the great video and explanation!! Tried it at home, but I have a question for you: Some white and green mold appeared on top just after 3 days of fermentation, is it safe to keep it? Should I remove the mold then change the recipient? Thank you again!!
Hi, Andrea! Thank for recipe! Now i have good apples from the garden, but I don't have enough time to manage the process. Can I make the juce by jucer machine and freeze it? Any idea if natural east will be alive after defrosting? If not, can I take few apples from the garden (different type) and put them (chopped or whole) inside fermentator with juce to strart the process? What do you think it will work? Thank you in advance.
Hello from Denmark. Hard cider looks delicious - thank you for showing!!! If I use 10 kg apples, do I just double the sugar = 400 grams? 20 kg apples = 800 grams? And so on?
Hello again! So I made two batches. One turned really sour, so airlock probably not sealed right, the other better but still a little bit on the sour side, but I think thats more to do with the apples I used. But it made me wonder - how would you describe the taste? Should it be sweet? A little acidic? Balanced? I never tasted hard cider before trying this, so I have nothing to compare with. 😊🌟🥂 It was fun to make. 7 litres. Thank you so much!!
Good work bro....Will the fermentation in the bottle continue after 2 weeks? how will the taste and alchohol level not increase after testing the wing from bottle?
Thank you so much for the clear instructions and superb video! I’m wondering if you have to have a fermenter with an airlock, or if there is a way that I can do this recipe at home without one? Thank you! PS: I’m going to look through your other videos, and see if you perhaps touch on this subject… Thanks again for your sharing of knowledge, it is so marvellous to find somebody who can present such a clear video, without all the rambling in the stories that I have found in others… I look forward to watching more!
Very detailed and helpful explanations to get the best results. Just like to point out that at 0.36 you show 5 kg of yellow apples and 5 kg of red in the text. But only one kilo of red in the audio. I guess the audio says the right measure going by the number of red apples on the kitchen counter.
I made perry using more or less this technique last autumn, and the result was very good. Two things I did differently, though: -Pasteurized the must, then added pectinase to reduce haziness (may increase methanol; be careful) -Added new yeast ('Brand X' wine yeast in first half of the batch, and a raspberry leaf bearing wild yeast from outdoors for the second) Next time I might use wild yeast for the whole batch, or just skip the pasteurization entirely. I intend to make my own press for next time rather than ever trying to wring a gallon of juice from fruit again, because frankly that will take less time and effort to build than to do without.
Hi, So the airlock + shaking the fermentation tank every day is essential to avoid molds ? I had a problem with this.. Also any temperature above 21 celsius might make other microbes compete too much with the yeast if these and some other parameters are not controlled.
Can I substitute the sugar for honey? And after the 10 days in the second fermentation, should I put them in a cool place to stop the fermentation or will that naturally happen when there is no more sugar?
Are you shaking or mixing the contents of the first fermentation every day? If yes, for all 40+ days or only until fermentation begins (2-4 days)? Thanks!
Thank you so much for these amazing videos 😍 I just wanted to ask you if there's a way to do the fermenter at home because it's not available in the market in my country
Also, some people seem to be allergic to store-bought yeast! Just like some people are allergic to American pasteurized milk. Mostly because of the pasteurization and perhaps the type of cow.
Dear Andrea, thanks for the great video. I noticed that you used the natural yeast from the apples only. So i was wondering if it is necessary to use cold pressed apple juice so that it contains natural yeast? I make many liters of apple juice every year, but it is hot pressed. Is the natural yeast still in the apple juice after hot pressing the apples? Or do I need to add additional yeast to get this tasty cider. Thanks and keep up with your nice videos 😊 Greetings from germany, Aaron
I just use "Star san"(StellarSan) in my airlock. At a no-rinse concentration. The most convenient brewing product I've ever used. I have a local supplier who will juice apples to order, so I can just buy 40 litres which is the minimum and do two big batches, sometimes I like to dry hop it with citra or nelson sauvign or add other fruits.

Als je het leuk vindt wijn te maken, probeer dan eens mede te maken. Ik maak al 30 jaar fruitwijnen, ciders en mede. Met mede heb de de meeste mogelijkheden van allemaal. Van zoet naar droog en alles er tussenin. Van gewoon naar bruisend of er tussenin. Met kruiden, zonder kruiden, met fruit, zonder fruit, met graan, zonder graan, met specerijen, zonder specerijen, met alles wat ik net vernoemde tegelijk… of gewoon op zijn eenvoudigst: honing, water en gist. Wetenschappers denken dat mede misschien de oudste soort alcohol ter wereld was. Er zijn 8000 jaar oude vermeldingen gevonden in teksten uit China. Er eaten sporen van gegiste honing in bekers uit het oude Egypte. Niet alleen de Vikings maakten blijkbaar mede. Veel plezier bij het maken van jullie eigen wijnen (en andere drankjes)!
So for now I'm starting apple juice fermentation and hope It'll become similar to your cider)) by the way I use different sorts of apple which I raise in my garden (it's mix).
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato So, today marks exactly 2 weeks since I started fermentation, and it seems to be finished. I've decided to add 300g of sugar to approximately 6 liters of cider because I like sparkling and sweet-flavored cider. How long should I wait before bottling the cider to ensure it doesn't explode? 😅 By the way, the flavor is spectacular😃😃😃
With the sugar, what kind? Is it brewing Sugar? As I know granulated won't be good or fine sugar doesn't seem to ferment well unless I missed a step, lol.
Hello! First thank you so much for the effort making these amazing videos! Please, can I use some yeast from a previous ginger beer that I made to accelerate the fermentation process because it's winter where I live and the maximum temperature is around 19/20 degrees Celsius, thanks and can't wait to try more fermentations from your channel!
Awesome video, I love your channel. I have a question about F2 (2nd fermentation): Did you burp your bottles during F2? 10 days is a long time, I'm afraid they'll explode! I make kombucha and I only let my grolsch bottles sit on the counter for 3 days during F2, before cold crashing in the fridge. Thanks, I will definitely try this recipe :-)
If you follow all the steps you will have not problems. I keep the bottles close but add not more then 8 g of sugar per liter, if the bottles is 500 ml only 4 g of sugar 😉👍🏼
Very impressive. Even though your accent is somewhat strong, I understood you better because you just talk about the specifics. I love Italian food, and Italian women are the best. I’ve had four Italian girlfriends in my life. Oh my God. But only one of them cooked. Oh well. Thank you for your time. Ciao.

what if you put the chopped apples into a strong ziplock bag, and break with with a rolling pin? when the apples are smashed, you just cut a small hole on the plastic bag and the juice just dripping out? A couple of years ago I made it with red current - by accident. Just forgot a bottle of diluted, sugar sweetened red current juice in the fridge. When a couple of weeks later I wanted to free some space, opened it. Too bad that immediately the so-believed syrup sprinkled out, covering my face, the wall, the ceiling, practically the whole kitchen. The glassful of red current juice remained in the bottle was the best sparkling wine I've ever tasted, including some high rated champagne.
🤔 maybe can work Yes 👍🏼 you make wine without knowing 🍾🤩😂🥳 That situation happened to me with cheese 😂 there was cheese on me , on the wall and on the ceiling 😱
Aah another spectacular recipe 👌 By the way, I tried to buy alcohol locally for making your Cointreau version. My goodness, it's cheaper to buy the real thing 🤦🏻♂️
My Grandfather made cider on his Dorset farm. It was normal between the wars. Sometimes they'd find bones in the vats after draining. Rats on the beams above overcome by the fumes.
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolatoThat's proper cider. Some would put a joint of meat in to give the cider something to work on. [Kills all known germs, like drain cleaner], post-mortem doctors said cider alkys were lovely and clean inside when opened up for inspection.

But you can buy this one BEER KIT : amzn.to/3f5KX47
Hello! First thank you so much for the effort making these amazing videos!
Please, can I use some yeast from a previous ginger beer that I made to accelerate the fermentation process because it's winter where I live and the maximum temperature is around 19/20 degrees Celsius, thanks and can't wait to try more fermentations from your channel!
Yes 👍🏼 but a small quantity
Thanks for your support 🤗
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato Oh Thanks, my pleasure!
Awesome video, I love your channel. I have a question about F2 (2nd fermentation): Did you burp your bottles during F2? 10 days is a long time, I'm afraid they'll explode! I make kombucha and I only let my grolsch bottles sit on the counter for 3 days during F2, before cold crashing in the fridge. Thanks, I will definitely try this recipe :-)
If you follow all the steps you will have not problems. I keep the bottles close but add not more then 8 g of sugar per liter, if the bottles is 500 ml only 4 g of sugar 😉👍🏼
Very impressive. Even though your accent is somewhat strong, I understood you better because you just talk about the specifics. I love Italian food, and Italian women are the best. I’ve had four Italian girlfriends in my life. Oh my God. But only one of them cooked. Oh well. Thank you for your time. Ciao.
😂 thanks
Excellent as usual
Thanks 😉👍🏼
Can we blend it and extract the juice?
It will be difficult to filter
Can i use readymade apple juice and add the yeast starter from the homemade yeast video
Also can i make it clear with bentonite clay?
Probably yes 👍🏼
I never used bentonite clay
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato ok thanks for the reply
Keep us updated
Greetings from Serbia, we later distill that and make rakija xD
But i wanted to see cider cause i love somersby so much
Thanks!
Now you can make both 😉 distill the leftover after the wine 🍷
So you do not add any yeast?
Natural fermentation only?
Yes 👍🏼 but if you have wine yeast , you can use it

Nicely done!
Thanks 🥳
Hi,what kind of yeast did you use to induce fermentation?
And how much ?
The yeast is already on the apples 😉 wild yeast
I always put some dry ice into container to prevent apple juice oxidise and turn too brown. But I see its not necessary....
👍🏼😉🍷
It can be vodka or it has to be specifically rum?
Vodka it’s perfect 👍🏼
Hello ... can we use a mashin to extract the juice? (Juice extractor)
Yes if you don’t brake the seeds
Should the second fermentation be carried out in the refrigerator?
Room temperature 🍾
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato thank you so much!!
Keep us updated with the tasting 😉
You are a genius.
😂👍🏼 thanks
😂👍🏼🥳🍷
How long does this last once bottled? Ie shelf life in the cupboard and in the fridge?
Cupboard 👍🏼 1 year
i love hard apple cider and this recipe was easy enough for even me to follow!
🥳🍾👍🏼 spectacular 🤩
Would this recepi work with tomatoes??
🤔 never tried
When do we exactly refrigerate it?
Before drinking it
should the final 2 weeks be in the fridge or outside? I am in the final process. Still to dark.
Outside 👍🏼
Did you pasteurize or just calculate the time and sugar you added at the end?
Just calculate the sugar
what if you put the chopped apples into a strong ziplock bag, and break with with a rolling pin? when the apples are smashed, you just cut a small hole on the plastic bag and the juice just dripping out?
A couple of years ago I made it with red current - by accident. Just forgot a bottle of diluted, sugar sweetened red current juice in the fridge. When a couple of weeks later I wanted to free some space, opened it. Too bad that immediately the so-believed syrup sprinkled out, covering my face, the wall, the ceiling, practically the whole kitchen.
The glassful of red current juice remained in the bottle was the best sparkling wine I've ever tasted, including some high rated champagne.
🤔 maybe can work
Yes 👍🏼 you make wine without knowing 🍾🤩😂🥳
That situation happened to me with cheese 😂 there was cheese on me , on the wall and on the ceiling 😱
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato 😂
🙃😂
Ancient apple science! Forgive my enthusiasm, I just drank a glass of mead I racked.
😱
What is the expected shelf life of this cider? Is there any tips on how to make it last longer?
Usually 1 year
Do I need to boil the apple juice? it is very hard to sanitize the filter
You can 👍🏼
Aah another spectacular recipe 👌
By the way, I tried to buy alcohol locally for making your Cointreau version. My goodness, it's cheaper to buy the real thing 🤦🏻♂️
🥳👍🏼🍾 thanks
😩 sorry for your Cointreau 😬
my father just brought me 5 kg of apples and I know what to do thanks to Italian man
😂 keep us updated 😉
My Grandfather made cider on his Dorset farm. It was normal between the wars. Sometimes they'd find bones in the vats after draining. Rats on the beams above overcome by the fumes.
😱🍾
@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolatoThat's proper cider. Some would put a joint of meat in to give the cider something to work on. [Kills all known germs, like drain cleaner], post-mortem doctors said cider alkys were lovely and clean inside when opened up for inspection.
Thanks for the information 👍🏼
Is there any way to bottle it without having yeast on the bottom?
You have to move in a second fermenter and after 1 week in the bottles but you will always have a little bit of of yeast on the bottom 👍🏼 it is normal
Hard apple cider is delicious way to get some vitamin C 👍👍
🥳👍🏼🍎🍏 exactly
Can we mix the apples in a blender and then filter what we get?
If you can filter it 👍🏼 yes
Awesome... Looks like full awesomeness included ...
Thanks 🥳👍🏼
