Kudos to Dreadskin cider!

Congrats Dreadskin your cider recipe is fantastic. Following your recipe has enabled me to turn a thin tasting TC into a scrumpy heaven! This is after an experimental taste after only 2 weeks in the keg.

My version of your genius recipe uses no extra sugar or honey:

In a 5 gallon FV lash in:

20L of apple juice
8 big Bramley apples previously skinned & cored & chopped. Frozen for 24 hours. Thawed & put in liquidiser/blender.
Steep 10 tea bags for 30 mins in a litre of boiling water.
Add 1 sachet of Youngs cider yeast (or suchlike)
No rats, meat, bones or strangers need to be added.

after a couple of weeks....

Transfer to secondary FV & top up with more apple juice (probably about another 3 - 4 litres)
Ferment to dryness (another week or two)
Transfer to keg or bottles (without any further sugar)
Leave for as long as possible & drink Weston's cider whilst waiting.

Cheers!

Pretty much the same thing I'm sitting on right now, without the apples. I'm going to skip secondary and keg with 4 liters of juice. Wife can't wait.

I'm going to do the same thing except prime in 2l pop bottles with some juice to try and add a little fizz.

thanks for the kudos mate! i live to help!
the only reason why i put in the sugar etc is for more power, but after a few house destroying parties that doesnt happen anymore. tho one jar of honey does add a nice aftr taste to it.
enjoy.
my current version on the same recipie has a bottle of fancy organic elderflower cordial in it and it smells wicked already.
