Fun fact. American folk legend Johnny Appleseed was actually a very successful businessman. Rather than planting apple trees randomly, he founded tree nurseries for cider production. He wore pauper’s clothes because he wanted to, not because he was some vagabond.
Another fun fact. Apple seeds are not true to seed. Which means if you plant apple seeds, you will get crab apples.
Yes! 💯
Remember, friends don’t let friends ruin unpasteurized cider by sticking it on a stove and spicing the hell out of it. Only do that with pasteurized cider; it was already ruined when you bought it.
Washington State and Illinois in a showdown
Apple cider all the way. I’ve got four gallons of the stuff unfiltered in my fridge right now.
Easier to pour whiskey in, that’s for sure.
They’re both bad.
I bet you’re one of them nog people.
Lol, I also dislike the nog.
Honestly I’d take cider out of the 3.
This may just be me being a pedantic little bitch, but I hate when people call it “apple cider” Cider is made from apples, the apple is redundant!
Cider can be made from all kinds of good fruits (maybe things other than fruits can count as cider, I’m cideroligist)
I thought the technical term was ‘In-cider.’
I guess if a sciencethist says it, it must be true
The type of fruit that you use dictates what you’ve made. There’s no such thing as grape cider.
Only if it comes from the cider district of France, else you have to call it cremant
So the pear cider I have been drinking was a lie?!
A pear cider is called a “perry”
It’s still got apples in it it’s still cider it’s just also got pears in it.
Just like wild fruit cider isn’t really made from berries. It’s just got berries in
Meh, let the apple lovers lean into the fact they are getting the good shit.
Then wtf is pear cider?
Perry
Okanagan brand “cider” is vodka, bubbly water, and fruit flavors.
So vodka orange basically? That’s mummy’s special drink.
Fuck that. Put them together and heat it up. Mulled cider is great.
My local grocery store unfortunately has pumpkin spice apple cider this year…
You know what to do https://youtube.com/watch?v=ro2_bQkaG5U&t=83
I’m not from the US and I gotta ask, wtf is pumpkin spice? Dehydrated pumpkin powder or what?
Buy a juicer, put a whole-ass bag of apples through that fucker, plus a knob of ginger. Simmer that shit in a pot with a few cinnamon sticks and whole cloves.
You can thank me later.
Also if you do actually do this and its your first experience juicing: clean your juicer immediately! Im serious, clean that shit while the cider is simmering. If you let it sit out 'til the next day you WILL regret it.
I’m not putting my knob any near a juicer. Fool me once…
This reads like a pinterest recipe for men.
We should point out that Apple cider is an alcoholic beverage with sparkle in UK/Ireland, but just cloudy apple juice in the US.
Down to prohibition. For a time you couldn’t legally sell alcohol so apple juice was sold under the name cider. Sometimes with handy instructions on how not to store it to avoid it fermenting into alcohol. Then, by the time restrictions were lifted, cider just meant apple juice as far as America was concerned.
(Allegedly)
Ot can’t have been very strong. You need yeast really to make it formant, and I can’t imagine that that was present in the drink.
I used to have a mate that would do this sort of thing, but he also used to argue that if you let cheese go mouldy it’s blue cheese. So I never really used to taste his products.
Step 1 - Do not contaminate with yeast.
Also mouldy cheese is not blue cheese, your friend is a heathen. That said, blue cheese is mouldy but it’s a specific type of mould that isn’t harmful when eaten.
And not, yet at least, a beverage from the company known as Apple Macintosh.
The entire West Country is fuming at both the notion of cider being merely an autumn drink and also it being compared to pumpkin spice
This further reinforces Bill Bailey’s assertion that the West Country is full of Hobbits.
Why not both?
Pear cider is better than apple cider
