Steps to make hard apple cider:
1. Clean and sanitize all equipment
2. Take a hydrometer reading
3. Add ingredients to the carboy
4. Install the airlock
5. Wait for fermentation to begin
In the next video I will talk about the final process:
After a week to two weeks, the cider should be fully fermented. Take a hydrometer reading to confirm that fermentation has ended and to get a final gravity reading. A final gravity reading is needed to calculate the ABV of the cider.
Rack the cider into a clean carboy to remove the yeast and sediment that is on the bottom of the fermentor.
Age the cider in the secondary fermentor until it clears and then bottle the cider. Before bottling the cider you can back sweeten to your desired sweetness level as the cider will probably be dry depending on the yeast used and amount of sugar in the original juice.
