Up to that point, my association with ciders had been fairly limited to the cheap variety served to shy freshmen like myself at parties in college, which tasted nearly identical to the stuff served to five-year-olds except it was fizzier and tended to make us giggly. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my homemade version, but I was fairly sure I could at least achieve giggle-status. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut then my first cider absolutely blew me away. It was bright and effervescent, boozy but sophisticated, tart but tempered with the lingering sweetness of late-summer apples. This was definitely a cider for grown-ups, fully deserving of a pint glass and not a sippy cup. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps even more surprising, this cider was incredibly easy to make. I picked up a gallon of apple juice at the store, added yeast and a few other ingredients from my brew kit, and left it to do its fermentation business in the corner for a few weeks. As a homebrewer, I’m used to reserving whole afternoons to making batches of beer, and as a winemaker, I’m accustomed to months of wait time before wine becomes drinkable. Compared to this, making cider felt like cheating. Delicious cheating. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wheels in my head started to turn. If I could make cider this good with basic store-bought juice, what could I make with actual heirloom cider apples? What about fresh juice from a local orchard? Or even (if I dared) the mass-market stuff served to five-year-olds? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat was the beginning. This book is a map of where I’ve traveled in the years since.","brand":"Ten Speed Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305215906021,"sku":"NP9781607749684","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781607749684.jpg?v=1767732859","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/modern-cider-isbn-9781607749684","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
