Hard cider was once the drink of choice in early America.
Today, sweet cider is enjoyed at harvest time and the hard stuff is making
a comeback. The secret to making sweet or hard cider is the blending of
apples at pressing time.
A balanced blend of sweet and tart apples is needed. Hard
or sweet, it's another great activity to enjoy at home. Unfortunately
for the home cider and apple wine maker, the addition of stabilizers to
fresh pressed apple cider is becoming common. This is being done
to extend the products shelf life. Cider which has been treated in
this way will spoil before it ferments.

cider with this complete guide to sweet or hard cider. 216 pg. by
