Notes

This is a very simple cider with few additives to let the apple flavor shine through. With proper aging, it produces a dry, fruity cider.

Add 1g/L Malic acid to lower pH by .1 as needed to reach 3.7 pH.
Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite (campden tablets) as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
Hold at cellar temperatures and wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching yeast.
Primary fermentation: 4-5 weeks @ 55°
Add 1 crushed campden tablet dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy before transferring to secondary conditioning.
Secondary: 8 weeks @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)
Bottle condition: 1 year @ 60°- 65°
