Notes
Apple Cider = Hy-Vee Apple Juice
Process: Ferment 5 gallons of cider and keg with 2.5 tsp of potassium sorbate and two cans of apple juice concentrate that has been thawed in the microwave.
Tasting Notes: AJ concentrate provided a nice level of sweetness without being over the top. If you like your cider a little more dry, try only using one can of concentrate. This was mainly brewed for a party, so I wanted it to be on the sweeter side for the guests who don't drink beer.
