Instructions to make T'Jim's Frosty Orchard Hard Cider:

1. Sterilize all the equipment with the bleach solution. Completely fill the carboy and submerge in the solution and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse off the solution.
2. Add 1 gallon of cider to a large pot and heat to 120°F. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Turn of the heat and allow to cool to 105°F.
3. Place 1/2 cup of the heated cider in a small bowl and set aside. Add the rest of the cider to the carboy along with the other two gallons.
4. When the small bowl of cider is between 100°F and 105°F, add the yeast and give it a stir. Let it sit for about 15 minutes and you should see it beginning to foam a little. That tells you that the yeast had been activated and is ready to pitch.
5. Pour the yeast into the carboy and cap with an airlock or cover with a napkin and rubber band. Allow to ferment for 10 days.
6. After 10 days, you will notice a layer of yeast on the bottom of the carboy. Siphon off the hard cider into jugs or bottles leaving the yeast behind.
7. At this point the hard cider is potable but it is best if allowed to age for 3 to 6 months.
8. If you prefer something with a little more kick, you can turn this hard cider into applejack. Since distilling your own spirits is illegal, I will not explain how to do it here. Just Google the term, "freezer distilling" and you will find all kinds of information on how to do it.
