Apple-Raspberry Hard Cider Recipe

I’ve never made hard cider, so I thought I’d give it a shot.  Once I did, I was amazed at how easy it was.  Here’s my recipe…

6 bottles of Members Mark 100% apple juice from concentrate with added
ingredient. 96oz each for total of 4.5 gallons of juice. I bought these at SAMs Club.

2 cans Old Orchard 100% apple raspberry juice frozen concentrate purchased at Meijer

Combined them into a carboy, totaling just under 5 gallons.

Added 1 pack 11.5 grams red star champaign yeast.  Starting gravity is 1.050 calculated via 12.6 brix on refractometer.

Amazingly it dropped to 1.002 within a week.  I added priming sugar and bottled it.

I have been pretty happy with it, although I think next time I might add more raspberry for flavoring and might start with a lower gravity for drinkability.  However, overall, I’ve been happy with it, and especially with the little amount of time it took to make compared to brewing beer.
