Hard Knox Cider

Today I brewed up some hard cider for NJ. I got un-preserved apple juice from Wal Mart. I misread the label. I thought I was buying gallons of the stuff and it was in 3 quart bottles. My naughty wife had to run to Hy Vee to get the Hy Vee brand apple juice. I added a little clover honey to increase the starting gravity. Without further delay, here is the recipe.


Hard Knox Cider

4 gallons Wal Mart Great Value 100% Juice (unsweetened) pasteurized apple juice
1 gallon Hy Vee brand Juice (unsweetened) pasteurized apple juice
1 lb 2 oz clover honey
1 package Red Star Pastuer Champagne yeast, rehydrated according to package.

Starting gravity - 1.058
