I am in the midst of my first attempt at making hard cider. I intend on adding some splenda to sweeten it up since sugar will get devoured by the yeast. I am still in the fermenting process and am shocked at how long it has taken... been about 5-6 weeks now... I thought it would only be 2-2.5...
Smokeusum and Cmayna, thank you for the input. I actually have some Alder wood I've been wanting to try out. Now I know what I'm cooking with it! Thanks again!
Great looking catch! How did you smoke it? I have only cold smoked trout before. My buddy has been asking me to try and and smoke a salmon, but I don't know what temp, how long and what wood to use.

Ingredients:
5 Gallons McCutchens Unfiltered Pasteurized Apple Cider (local orchard)
2 Pounds Dark Brown Sugar
Yeast (An Ale Type of Yeast)
That's it!
I started the brew this past...
Giant Bologna? I didn't know they were known for that. I plan on heading back there soon for their huge farmers/amish market. I will definitely pick up some bologna next time I am there.
