Award Winning Apfelwein

[Mikey]

I've never made cider I don't drink it but I do intend to brew my dad some of this

He uses 2lbs of dextrose brewing sugar and judging by how popular that recipe is and winning awards it must be good

My crab apple single variety cider has just won the award in the village show.

The trick was to save the last bottle so it was 9 months old.

Well it will be beer in the autumn show.
I have to be careful as I can only put in 1 alcohol category entry.

This one was beer/cider/wine.
Autumn one I think substitutes one of either cider/wine for spirits/liqueurs. So might put in my desert gooseberry gin, or a beer. I'm just not sure yet.
