Recipe for cider from apples at home
Ingredients:
- apples - 3 kg;
- sugar - 200 g.
Preparation
We sort the apples. Now we need to grind them. To do this, you can use a meat grinder, juicer, grater or blender. If you used a juicer, squeezes should not be thrown away. All we put together, pour in the sugar, mix until it is completely dissolved and put into a container. We put the wort of the day on 3 in a warm place. Room temperature will be quite suitable. Every day it should be mixed and monitored when fermentation begins. After that, we squeeze the pulp through a sieve or gauze. The resulting juice is poured into prepared cans, we put on a clean rubber glove. On one of the fingers, with a needle, we make a puncture to let out carbon dioxide. In general, cider can be made without sugar, but then the wort will wander much longer. We put cans of cider in a dark cool place for 1-2 months. When the fermentation stops, the drink is poured, leaving the resulting residue in the container. Filter the cider. We pour it into a container, close it and put it in the refrigerator. Drink at the same time pour under the very top, tightly close, so that there is no access to oxygen. You can store cider for 3-4 years in a refrigerator or cellar.
