INSTRUCTIONS
Simmer 3/4 gallon apple juice, spices and ginger (in spice bags), syrup,
and lemon juice and zest for 45 mins. Add simmered mix to 4--1/4 gallon.
Put cider in carboy. Pitch yeast and top off with more apple juice.
Ferment for 34 days. Rack to secondary and top off with more apple
juice. Prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Age for 30 days and
consume. Good sparkle, mildly yeasty (not careful enough with my secondary
rack- ing), complex flavor, some spice in the nose, too much alcohol (my
calcs say that the alcohol content is about 15%, but it tastes much
stronger). In general, I'm pretty pleased; almost everybody who's tried it
has been pleased as well. Original Gravity: 1.100 Final Gravity: 0.998
Primary Ferment: 34 days Secondary Ferment: 22 days
