So, I made my first batch a couple of months ago. Simple recipe:
5 gallons Kroger apple juice
sprinkle packet of Red Star Champaign yeast.
Ferment 2 weeks. Bottle.
It turned out to be 6% abv.
The flavor for the first month after bottling was not great, but I drank it because it was what I had! But magically, two weeks ago, they started to taste really good!
Right now I have some skeeter pee fermenting, but as soon as it is done, I will do another batch of cider.
Initially i saw room for improving the cider, but now that it is 2 months, it tastes so good I don't see much need to tinker. My only complaint is that it seems to give a headache if you have more than a couple!
