# 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.
