The holidays are fast approaching but you need a quick and easy fermentated drink for your next holiday party? I got you covered with the simple 3-day hard cider recipe. It's inspired by mulled wine and cranberry sauce and is so quick, you can even make it a few days before the next holiday party. Using kveik and pressure fermentation, you can put your mind at ease and be sipping on a delicious cider in no time!

i do this in the bottle with fleishmans and cold crash for a full day in a small freezer capable fridge.. sometimes I split the bottle and freeze them to collect and reinforce the second bottle.. then backsweeten with fresh organic juice

I just did a cider using Lutra Kveik and it's so clean and fermented nice and dry. I added pectine enzyme and ended up with a crystal clear liquid. I wish I'd added some spice like you did though, mine was just basic unfiltered apple juice :D

Yeah I’ve been experimenting more with spices. I think they had that tannin touch and complexity that works well in ciders
I'm brewing this now! I'm so super new to brewing, this is my third recipe. I don't have a pressure fermentation set up so I'm just keeping my glass fermenter warm and toasty. I want to bottle this, but will I need priming sugar? How long to wait for carbonation after bottling? Thank you!
Sounds great! I need to get more into spices in my ferments and something like this in a simple quick boil is a great easy entrypoint instead of something like secondary/tasting daily. Gotta respect that game eyeballing the yeast nutrients!!

What a killer idea! Gotta get that Voss yeast. The time savings aside, I wouldn’t have to keep my brews chilled with water baths and ice packs. I have a holiday cider going right now - Apple juice, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and mulling spices in primary then thawed apple chunks and oak chips in secondary. I call it Reindeer Snuggles. Right now and I’ll be very lucky if I get it bottled before Christmas lol.

That sounds super interesting, I’ve only used molasses in beer but I’d imagine it adds some major complexity to a cider. You have piqued my interest!

Looks awesome! How does the pressurized fermentation affect ABV?
@TheBruSho
2 жыл бұрын
Doesn’t effect the abv per se but the carbonation will mess up your measurements. You just need to wait for the fizziness to go away in your sample before measuring

How do you get head retention in your cider? (I bottle condition mine for the record.)
Maybe using a float tube would help the haze?

I’ve had one for years and this is the first time using one. The one that came with the fermzilla is leaking and the one I had had a poorly designed regulator and the guage reads low. Might do a little shopping on Amazon today.
Would you leave the mulling spices the same if you scaled this to 5 gallons or would it be better to double to 6 gallons and do the mulling process twice?
