Most the cider I had let ferment using wild yeasts, but I saved a gallon of the cider I fermented with commercial yeasts too.<\/p>\n<p>While the wild yeast fermented cider tasted better 2 weeks ago, today I couldn&#8217;t tell much difference.  So I blended them both together for bottling.  I added some frozen apple juice concentrate which I hope will ferment in the bottle and make it fizzy.<\/p>\n<p>I had a little bit left over after filling my bottles so I&#8217;m drinking that tonight.  It&#8217;s still, it doesn&#8217;t have any carbonation or bubbles, but it tastes quite nice.  It has less alcohol than beer, so it makes a nice light refreshing drink.<\/p>\n<p>To Dad for making the cider press, and to Bender&#8217;s Orchard for growing the apples, and to Dan Comparet for giving me a couple of cases of bottles, and to me for making it; cheers! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hard cider I mentioned a couple of posts ago [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cooking","category-farming","category-skunk-hill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1886\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chuckzumbrun.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
