Well, there’s a wide variation of terms depending on where you’re from. I’ve only ever heard fresh pressed apple juice called Apple a cider or Sweet cider. On the west and east coast, fermented cider is called Hard Cider. I’ve heard that in the UK cider is fermented and Sweet Cider isn’t. 🤷♂️
@@SustainableDancider in the UK is alcoholic/fermented so ‘hard’ cider same in France other wise it’s juice. You can have douce or brut, sweet or ‘brut’. But cider is always fermented.
@@lunaqueer that’s a pretty good question. It could be why. WSU has an article explaining how cider drinking almost completely died in the US due to several events and movements. Maybe when it came back they forgot the traditions and terms.
Ingenious!! However, we have plans of pressing around 1000 apples this fall so........our hands would start to hurt hehehehehe - Oh and guess what, we may have found a 10bbl brite tank here locally so we might be able to make some commercial batches sooner than we thought
The natural yeast you want was originally on the flower blossom and now lives inside the apple. If you pick your own apples, you can probably skip the wash. I got mine from a farmers market and didn’t want to risk adding too much unwanted bacteria. That’s also why I don’t recommend using fallen apples.
Love the channel! Came across it doing some google searching. I have some wild grapes growing and I was thinking of turning them into a wine. There aren't that many of them and I've never done homebrewing before so I was wondering if you'd have any tips for that
So I’m also thinking about doing something similar. I would sanitize a few mason jars and juice them, and pour the juice in the jars and let them sit covered with a towel and rubber band until you see bubbles. Then you need to properly cover it. You can buy lids that work as airlocks for the jars. Then you need to keep it cool and let the yeast do it’s job. Oxygen can easily ruin a wild ferment so be careful. I’m doing this with apple cider right now.
What is the difference between Apple Juice and Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider? Do you even need a starter, just 2 days in the Oven after heating up for 1 min?
Beg to differ, you can make your a own juice with a juicer. Where I live, they are used Juicers for $20 at the Flea Mkt and Apples are available all year round at same price. I have one juicer that leaves a little slurry vs straight Juice like a poor man's Vita-mix. Ideally, would want to take that maybe add something sweet, maybe even dollop of yogurt or a few stands of saurkraut, and some sugar like orange, tangerine, banana for regular yeast to feed on. Go 24 hours in croc pot, then bring it to 80F degrees in the oven by warming up for 1 min. Then dump in my pro-biotic capsules to make it a fermented product. Let it grow for 48 hours with oven off and oven door closed . Do you or any one else think that will work or not?@@SustainableDan
Apple juice is filtered. Also, you can select your apple varieties with fresh cider. They both have very different flavors as well. If you haven’t tried some fresh cider yet, I highly recommend you do. It’s one of my favorite parts of fall.

Yeah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the video. I’m going to make some out of my Fuji apples because I have enough applesauce and apple butter😊
If you get some help with grating, it’s much easier and faster. Have fun!
Awesome video dude! Gonna try this weekend
It’s a good arm workout, but the sweet cider is so good!
This is apple JUICE, not cider... Cider has to be fermented

Do Americans call apple juice cider because of the prohibition or something?

Fermentation is done after 3 weeks, anything after = flavour
This is a step in the right direction but I believe using whole crushed apples without straining just fermentation of the lot
That sounds fun. The fruit cap could be HUGE!
You can get more by mixing the pumice with a little water and giving it another squeeze
Thank you!

Woohooo!!! That’s awesome! You guys definitely need the press. You’ll have to show us the tank and how you picked one.
I just looked up the tank. That’s so cool!
Is it neccesary to wash before gratering ? (the natural yeast on the apples will be washed away)

It can take much longer than a typical ferment as well.
If you can, keeping a wild ferment under 60F is ideal.
If it becomes vinegary, game over. You can’t fix it. Hopefully I’ll have a video about wild yeast soon.
@@SustainableDan Awesome, thanks for the tips! I'll be keeping an eye out for that video on wild yeast

Depending on where you look, there isn’t much of a difference. Apple juice is usually filtered or made from concentrate. Sweet cider is fresh.
I’m not sure about using an oven.

Appreciate the video but think I'll be trying to find a press. Good lord that looks like a lotta work
I definitely want a press in the future, but I didn’t want to wait to make the cider. You can definitely work up a sweat.
you going to need to buy an apple press.....
One day, but not anytime soon.
this is apple juice we call in Europe🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup. In the US we call it apple cider. Just a difference in terms.
@@SustainableDan would you do another video with alcohol in it? 😋
Apple season 🙃
@@sibelgeraghty4570 yes. I am still working on naturally fermenting cider with wild yeasts.
