There are three ways to make cider. Next, we will share with you the brewing process of one of them. The brewing process is as follows: choosing raw materials → cleaning → saccharification → juice extraction → column → fermentation → centrifugation → preparation → storage → bottling. The details are shared here and can be done at home in 8 small steps.
How to make apple cider.
1. Raw materials: Harvest the fruit when it is ripe and has a high sugar content. Defective fruits can also be used to make cider.
2. Cleaning: Rinse with water to remove impurities.
3、Crushing: Mechanical crushing or manual crushing to facilitate juicing.
4、Juice extraction: Use a press to extract juice, or use a wooden or cloth bag instead. Juice yield is generally 56~60%.
5, into the tank: rinse the inside of the tank with water, and then pour in the apple juice, leaving about 20% of the space on it and fill evenly. Add 8~10g of potassium metabisulfite (called biflavox) per 100kg of juice to inhibit the activity of other harmful yeast.
6. Determination: After fermentation reaches its peak, the temperature of the liquid gradually decreases, the sound is quiet, there are fewer air bubbles, the sweetness becomes weaker, and the taste of the wine increases. When the sugar content measured by the sugar meter is close to zero, the main fermentation stage is basically over.
7. Preparation
8、Storage: Transfer the fruit wine into a small wine jar and store it tightly closed. 10、Bottling: Strain the stored white wine and put it into a glass jar and put it into hot water at 70℃ for 10~15 minutes.
