Quick and Easy Hard Cider
Low alcohol, fresh, and fruity, this hard cider is ready is just a few days.
Ingredients
Scale
1 gallon unpasteurized, preservative free fresh apple cider or apple juice
Instructions
- Place the cider in a gallon fermentation vessel, leaving about a pint of clear space at the top. (Drink the extra cider.)
- Cover the top of the container with a coffee filter or tightly woven piece of fabric. Keep the container out of direct sunlight, in a warm location, for 2 days.
- Start tasting. When the cider is as fermented as you prefer, put a lid on and move it to the refrigerator to slow fermentation. I usually refrigerate around day 3.
- If you like, you can transfer your hard cider to smaller bottles or canning jars for storage. Bail-top bottles are strong and help safely contain the CO2 bubbles. The cider should hold in the refrigerator for about a month.
