The House Cider Rules!

posted by Jon

We've decided that in honor of autumn in Michigan, we will be doing a hard cider.

"Now wait," you say, "I'm not paying $10.00 a month for some wussy drink like hard cider. I'm paying for BEER!"

You're right. You're not paying for $10.00 a month for hard cider. This will be done in addition to our normal monthly beer. Once the cider is done we will be selling 6-packs for $6.00 each (limit one). It should be drinkable around Christmas. You may choose whether or not to buy any at that point.

And yes, my apologies to John Irving.

  1. I did like the John Irving reference.
    So, how are you making the hard cider?

  2. 5 gallons of fresh cider from Palmbos Farm Market
    few lbs of brown sugar
    some raisins
    champagne yeast

    ferment for a couple of weeks
    rack to secondary for a couple more weeks
    bottle for 1 month or so
