Time to get the count rolling for this year. I have started 4.5 gallons of simple apple cider in a corny keg.
0 gallons plus 4.5 = 4.5
0 gallons plus 4.5 = 4.5
I always add sugar.I made some apple wine (cider with sugar added). Does this count?
Good job on catching that sale. I ran into the problem of fermenting too soon, so I stockpile the juice when on sale, but only ferment what the household will consume so that it doesn't get too tart, or worse.Well in that case, I just made 31 gallons (my Kroger had Indian Summer apple juice on clearance for $2/gal).
22.25 + 31.0 = 53.25
$2/gallon?!? I suddenly hate your face! It is a joke. I'm using Great Value 3 qt for $3. Color me jealous.Well in that case, I just made 31 gallons (my Kroger had Indian Summer apple juice on clearance for $2/gal).
22.25 + 31.0 = 53.25
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/27/211The term wine applies "...only if containing not less than 7 per centum and not more than 24 per centum of alcohol by volume."
I believe that the US legal definitions exist for tax purposes - wine is taxed at a higher rate than cider and less than liquor.According the US legal code:

I'm not sure that there is a clear rule for the a general term for a fermented beverage with less than 7% ABV made from a fruit other than apples, such as hard lemonade or hard ginger ale. If they are at least 7% ABV, then in the US they are legally "wine."
If I am reading this article correctly, it sounds like in the EU only beverages made from fermented grapes can legally be sold as "wine." European Union wine regulations - Wikipedia Maybe someone in the EU can shed some light on this.
Of course, since making it for your own consumption you can call it anything you want.
Hmm. I've been thinking about making some hooch from a grape juice, white or dark, but never thought the grape and apple would go together.1.25 White Grape Apple Cider
97.5 + 1.25 = 98.75
I read somewhere on here that mixing some white grape juice into the apple juice makes for a more "white wine" flavor. The grape juice did have sorbate in its ingredients, but that was diluted by the apple juice and fermentation did kick off eventually. Hasn't finished yet though, so I can't speak of the results.Hmm.

121.75 + 3 = 124.75Uhhh, three. (As I hang my head and slowly walk off.)
