This snobbery "I don't like it so it's not cider" is rather childish. It may be mass-produced, chemically stabilised, overly carbonated crap but it is still cider.
Hopefully the cider I'm currently making will be better - I've done it from kits before but this is my first batch direct from apples.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Strongbow is to cider what Fosters and Carlsberg are to lager - the cheap alternatives. It's not snobbery to dismiss it, it's simply a matter of taste and principles.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Hmmm, booze made from apples. Actually my local tipple is just that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apfelwein and although the article says that this is cider, its not, that is actually cidre. Once you try it, you'll see that there is a difference“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

What apple varieties have you gone for? Unless you have a cider variety, you're supposed to use a mix of cooking apples (malic acid), eating apples (sugar) and crab apples (tannin) to get a nice balance.
The one I'm doing is a single-tree cooking apple cider which has enough sugar as it'sa particularly sweet cooking strain, but is very tart. I added tannin by simply brewing a strong jug of tea, but I think I need to treat it to reduce the acidity.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
