Review: This is a pretty good "base" product for making apple hooch [cider] - This is a pretty good "base" product for making apple hooch [cider]. Brew Demon even recommends adding the Oregon fruits. Personally; I add my favorite Dutch apple tart filling. I use dextrose instead of table sugar and use S-04 yeast instead of what is provided. Great Stuff!!! ABV about 8%. Back again: As I said before this is a really great base product, I tried something very simple and it turned out awesome. Very simple: this can of concentrate, one pound of dark brown sugar, and a culture made from EC 1118. Go ahead and make three gallons at 70 deg. After eight days I had a very tasty cider at 6.6 ABV still. Then two weeks after bottling and primed I had a very fizzy great tasting hooch at just at 8 ABV....Great Stuff!!!
Review: Great gift! - Purchased as a follow up refill gift! Brother in law is medically gluten free and loves making his own ciders now that he cannot have wheat! Great gift!
