I've cored 8 kg's of Amasya Apples and 1 kg of Golden Apples. Boiled them with 5 lt's of water, 750g's of brown sugar and 3 cinnamon sticks.
After the boil; I've blended the apple base, boiled for an hour more.
I've used Mangrove Jack's Old English Ale yeast (10g's) that comes with their Gluten-Free Pale Ale kit. I've added 20 lt's of drinking water, pitched the yeast directly into the wort at 29-30 degrees. OG was 1,028. Regular fermenting temperature was fixed at 20 degrees celcius after 2 days into fermentation.
After 4 days I've added a simple syrup I've prepared with 400 ml water, 750 gr's of regular sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks and two whole star anises. The OG was messed up after that.
The cider is in it's 9th day of fermentation at the moment; still bubbling away. I will bottle it into 200ml soda bottles with 5 gr's of regular caster sugar for priming and stevia to taste. Will use a syphon for bottling and won't use the pulp.
