In our local pub they have a dry hopped cider at the moment and it is beautiful. I was wondering if anyone had any experience in brewing a dry hopped cider as I fancy brewing one in the near future.

definitely

I might try all 3. Going shopping tomorrow :)

Would using honey help?

I used brown sugar to strengthen my latest apple cider/wine. Got it to a nice 9%ish. Fermented all the sugar out and have been left with a nice strong tasty drink but there is a taste of brown sugar which is strangely sweet. Has anyone any tips on how to make this taste better in the future...

I have always been warned not to use NFC juices because they can contain chemicals that can kill the yeast. Is this not true?

It was but I left it fermenting to long so it is too dry and sour. Having to bottlle and prime with a little sugar.

4l apple juice 1l pineapple juice 2tbspoon brown sugar Cider yeast Its very tasty. :)

Hi all. After 5 years away from homebrewing I have been offered the old summerhouse as a brewery and I am currently converting it. Just brewed a turbo cider and it tasted beautiful. So on to the next now. Alan
