# Cider
|
||||
Cider is a simple to produce alcoholic beverage made from apples and related fruit.
|
||||
|
||||
To make cider:
|
||||
1. pick your fruit, variety(s), and any other additions you would like
|
||||
2. collect your fruit, or juice
|
||||
3. juice your fruit in a press, typically one that is screw based
|
||||
4. collect your juice in a sanitized container
|
||||
5. add yeast to your container
|
||||
|
||||
> this step is optional for fresh pressed juice, as there is yeast on the
|
||||
surface of the fruit, howevever, by adding a specifically chosen strain of
|
||||
yeast, the brewer can exersise more control over the end product
|
||||
|
||||
6. add an airlock to your container, with sanitizer solution filled to the fill lines
|
||||
7. store your container in a cool, dark place until fermentation is complete, usually 2 to 4 weeks.
|
||||
8. after fermentation is complete, you can bottle the cider for longer term storage or you can opt to bulk age as described in [Wine](https://wiki.ohea.xyz/Homebrew.md#wine)
|
||||
|
||||
Cider is not typically aged, and sometimes carbonated. To carbonate, simply add
|
||||
a measured, consistent amount of sugar to each bottle. For example 3 grams of
|
||||
table sugar for a 12oz beer bottle.
|
||||
|
||||
# Wine
|
||||
Wine is not an emulator, but rather an alcoholic beverage made from fruit juice, typically grapes, berries, or tree fruit.
|
||||
