Hello, this is all correct info.

You probably do want to pasturize it first though, 5 gallons of nice cider and like 5 pounds of honey with champage yeast will make a super dry ~10-15% hard cider. You'll want to age it in the bottles for at least like 6 months though because it'll be real harsh right after the ferment.

Also do a secondary fermenter because you'll get a shitload of dead yeast and poo poo.

My grandad used to have a vegetable garden. We would go to my grandparents for Sunday dinner. Me and my sister would sit out there with him and eat delicious snap peas straight from the vine (not sure if that's the right word but they grew on a trellis). He also had carrots and we would wash them off under the outdoor tap and munch on them raw.

A few hours later when it was dinner time we'd go inside and be presented with a plate just like that, with the same delicious veggies boiled to the point the peas were turning yellow. Mash that was literally just overboiled potato mashed up with nothing else added, and minced beef that had been boiled in a saucepan with gravy granules.

It wasn't until I started cooking for myself that I realised the same meal could be tasty as hell when done right.

To be fair, my mum and gran were really good at baking cakes, pastries and making desserts, but they definitely came from a generation where everything else had to be boiled until tasteless.

The Freebirds near me used to be good, now it's vile. Last time I went there it was like it had been abandoned. There was no one there eating, there were only 2 people behind the counter and it stank like rotting meat. I left without getting anything.

what's with this trend? My local Italian place does this. The first time there, I saw pasta carbonara on the menu and didn't bother to read the description because it's carbonara, right? Can't mess that up, right? :wrong:. Comes loaded with peas and like, alfredo sauce. Never again.

Why are people messing with a dish that should literally only be 5 ingredients :psyduck:

No clue.

If they want some green to liven up the visual just toss some chopped parsley on top.

Please share your cider resources, I want to try

You need to get yourself to the West Country in England. That's the home of cider.
Get yourself a plastic jug of Scrumpy and enjoy (very slowly if you want to actually remember the experience and wake up in the same place you started)
You could also pop into the Coronation Tap in Bristol and have a half pint of their Exhibition cider. You can only have one half pint though. This is to stop you falling over in the pub and making a mess.

When you say “alfredo sauce” are you referring to the “traditional” recipe or the more common, general meaning?

The sauce, for all intents and purposes, was just alfredo sauce. Traditionally like you would get on Fettuccine Alfredo.

Really thinking about it, the only people ever in there were old WASPs, which must be good because a real Italian walking in there and seeing that poo poo would make them blow their stack.

That Exhibition cider's only 8.5% so no worse than drinking a pint of 4.25% beer. I suppose they cut you off because cider's awfully easy to drink and you'd probably have a few pints down before you'd noticed how mangled you were getting.

I can say from experience it is very easy to drink and doesn't remotely taste as strong as it is, you don't always realise how much you have had until you stand up...

Sweet cider's definitely very sneaky in that way alright.
Similarly, I know someone who was housesitting and decided to have a little cointreau to help pass the time while watching soaps, except the glass they used was a sherry glass, not a liqueur glass, so the little drinks they thought they were having were probably closer to trebles. Never even felt drunk until they tried to stand - apparently it was so bad they had to lean against walls the whole way back home.

This is how people describe drinking caribou.

Which is a drink that is one part port, three parts whiskey.


Back in the original trapper days it was supposedly a mixture of caribou blood, wine and whiskey.
