Every year in Sept. here in Ohio we get tons of apples and have local festivals.
I've got this idea to make some cider.
My idea is to simply get the unpasturized freshly pressed cider, toss some yeast and put an air lock on it and let it do it's thing.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just hard cider. Not trying to clone anything or have clear cider either just plain old fermented cider, what you get is what you get type of thing. As simple as possible.
Anything wrong with what I'm proposing here? It would probably only be a few gallons, and I doubt I'd bottle it, just let it ferment, then bottle off to a few jugs and drink them up right away. Have a party, that kind of thing.
Am I crazy?
Thoughts?
