Notes

NOTE! "4 lb apple juice" in this recipe means 4 gallons (which is definitely more than 4lbs, but I couldn't figure out how to configure the recipe otherwise).

As used here, Apple Juice is 1.052 OG. Measure yours with a hydrometer and adjust recipe accordingly.

To avoid sulphur smell associated with homebrew cider:

Hydrate yeast fully before pitching, with rehydration nutrient
Use 1-1.5x dosage of yeast nutrient at 24 hours after pitch
Follow up with .5x dosage of yeast nutrient at 36-48 hours after pitch

To make this a berry cider, wait for primary fermentation to quiet down (usually 3-4 days). Add a few pounds of preferred berries and allow time for that fermentation to occur. I typically add about 1lb per gallon of frozen mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries).
