In today’s episode I’m continuing where I left off in the last cider making vlog and siphoning fresh apple juice into whiskey and wine barrels to start the fermentation process. It’s super easy. Then I sit down with you guys, have a couple glasses of cider and answer the top questions I get asked about the cider making process and how the cider itself tastes. I love the stuff!
If I missed anything, feel free to ask me in the comments.
Cheers!
TIMESTAMPS:
Installing the spout/spigot for the barrel
Installing the bung and bubbler
Pouring a cup of last season’s cider from the barrel – color and clarity
How to start the siphoning process
Do I keep it in the barrel or bottle it all?
Where do I get fresh pressed apple juice?
Is it pasteurized or unpasteurized?
Do you notice a difference in flavour between the wine and whiskey barrels?
What other fruits can be mixed with the apples?
How do you care for / clean the barrel?
What is the difference between cider and hard cider?
What does it taste like? Is it tart?
How strong is the alcohol level?
