Time for me to step into the world of cider too. Just looked through the cider section and didn't see the Nong Cider recipe out there. Care to post that over there for us cider newbies?Yankeedag wrote:Hey Screwy, try making that Nong Cider. You'll like it.ScrewyBrewer wrote:Welcome new folks!

NONG Cider (2.25 gallon batch):
5 cans of apple juice concentrate (pure, make sure there are NO preservatives added) (I have also used 2.25 gallons of apple cider, must be fresh with no preservatives)
2 pounds white sugar
1 pound lactose (I found this amount too sweet for me so I backed it down to 4 ounces, depends on how sweet you want it, up to you)
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 pack Champaign or Lavine 1118 sparkling wine yeast (I use which ever one I can get my hands on)
You can drink this after 3 months conditioning, but I like to condition it atleast a year (my preference, 3 months is fine). You can go without the lactose but plan on atleast a year conditioning.
But of course, the Mr Beer (have not tried the Brew Devil version) is also good, but IMHO not as.
Edit: Want to add, I do not bottle or keg carb mine, I prefer it still (no carbonation).
