Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2008 7:47 am
Grind with apple grinder 25 to 30 gallons of apples and press them with an apple press to get 15 gal of fresh apple cider or get 15 gallons of un-pasteurized apple cider.
I plan on making a trip to Sky Top Apple Orchard in Hendersonville NC soon they have the best un-pasturized apple cider ive ever tasted. It lol actualy taste like you are eating an apple with out the pulp. It even has that kind of chlk like feel to it in your mouth. it is hard to desribe. I just know it is awsome.
The apple cider will produce 8.5%abv to boost it up dissolve 15lbs of cane sugar.This give you about 14%
add 2 packs of Whiskey yeast and ferment for 5 days
This should yield about 2 gallons of 90% when distilled
put in quart jars with 6 toasted white oak sticks each.
Place in the refrigerator at night and remove ecah day for 4 days or until a dark color is achieved.
Sample each day till desired flavor is achieved.
