      Title: HOLIDAY CIDER
 Categories: Beverages, Holidays, Alcohol, Champagne
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      5 ga Apple Juice
           -(Gravenstein/Jonathan
           -blend)
      6 c  Maple Syrup
  2 1/3 tb Whole Cloves
    1/2 tb Whole nutmeg; grated
           10 4-inch cinnamon sticks
      3    Lemons (juice and zest)
      2    Inches ginger root; peeled
           -and grated
      1 pk Red Star Champagne Yeast
 
  Simmer 3/4 gallon apple juice, spices and ginger (in spice bags),
  syrup, and lemon juice and zest for 45 mins. Add simmered mix to
  4--1/4 gallon. Put cider in carboy. Pitch yeast and top off with more
  apple juice. Ferment for 34 days. Rack to secondary and top off with
  more apple juice. Prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Age for
  30 days and consume. Good sparkle, mildly yeasty (not careful enough
  with my secondary rack- ing), complex flavor, some spice in the nose,
  too much alcohol (my calcs say that the alcohol content is about 15%,
  but it tastes much stronger). In general, I'm pretty pleased; almost
  everybody who's tried it has been pleased as well. Original Gravity:
  1.100 Final Gravity: 0.998 Primary Ferment: 34 days Secondary
  Ferment: 22 days
