Sidro di mele

We've reached the crucial moment of making homemade apple cider. Pressing and inoculating the yeast into the fermenter. Disclaimer I discourage any form of alcohol consumption, as the alcohol molecule itself is harmful and carcinogenic at any dose. Therefore, if you produce alcohol, I recommend using it to make vinegar, for cooking, or to give to someone who already drinks it. Drinking it is the stupidest way to use it. Apples for making cider Let's make apple cider Technically, the process for making cider is very simple. You extract the sweet juice from the apples, add the yeast, and wait for the fermentation to complete. From this simple starting point, we'll go over all the relevant considerations. In fact, we've already discussed the magnetic stirrer, the yeast, the fermenter, and sanitization. In short, the more the merrier, the more philosophical discussions could go on for centuries. The apples chopped into pieces The juicer at work The remains after juicing Apple cider In my case, as you know, I'm a very practical person and I like to get from point A to point B, without taking too many strange or complex detours. So I chopped the apples into small pieces and used the electric juicer to extract the apple juice. Given my previous experience with plant-based milk, I decided to re-purée the leftover juice (still rich in flavor). This allowed me to have more initial liquid, although a little less sweet. But I compensated with 200 grams of sugar. The extracted juice was still quite cloudy, so I filtered it through a fine-mesh strainer to capture most of the pulp. I then used this to make a delicious cake, but that's another story. After completing this long (and somewhat tedious) process, I pitched the yeast. Yes, the one we raised with the magnetic stirrer some time ago. After a few hours, the airlock began its work, expelling the first bubbles. Now all we need to do is wait for the fermentation to finish, which should take a couple of weeks. To be safe, just wait until the airlock stops producing bubbles.
