As you have seen, there hasn’t been a whole lot of action around the brewery in the past few months.But with winter starting to show its face more and more lately, I need to get something in the fermenter because the selection is getting thin around here.

I have a few things that I could do. I have grains for one, maybe two beers, juice for cider, and a wine kit that I could start. I am down to two fermenters though. 

But once again I was was running short on time, so I decided on at least putting a quick cider together.

Just a very quick cider to get at least one thing going. The old Walmart juice juice, but I have been having great success with them after fiddling with extras.

4 ½ gallons of just cheap juice 3-1gallon jugs and 2-3qt  jugs of Apple

1-2qt Acai Blueberry (it was on sale for $0.99)

Us04 yeast

Finishing up with a few squirts of Real Lemon juice and two tsp nutrient.

That Real Lemon in the old green bottle or even those plastic lemons is a nice twist to ciders, especially these cheap store juice ones. It give it a bit of life that is kind of muddled with them.

This whole thing is as complicated as nust mixing everything together. So I’ll seal it up and look at it in a couple weeks.

Oh,, OG was 1052 and US04 usually bring this down to 1008 sometimes 1006 so probably looking at 6%
