Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to add sugar to my hard cider base if I use fruit purees?
Although it’s possible to make hard fruit ciders without adding sugar, the fruit puree may not contain enough natural sugar to reach the level of fermentation required to achieve your target ABV (alcohol by volume). We don’t add any extra sugars or sweeteners, ensuring that you can fine-tune your recipe’s sugar content as needed to reach your desired gravity and dryness.
Does cider have to contain apples?
Requirements for labeling and marketing “cider” vary around the world, so check your local regulations. In the United States, cider must be made from at least 50% apples (or apple puree or apple juice). With that said, you can use many other fruits to make a cider base as long as you don’t advertise it only as cider. For example, cider made from pear puree is known as perry.
How to stabilize hard cider?
There are multiple techniques you can use to stabilize your cider infusion after fermentation and before packaging. One popular approach is to ferment the cider dry, back-sweeten it with fresh, unfermented puree, and then pasteurize it.
You can also add preservatives like potassium sorbate or sulfites. Cold crashing (bringing the temperature to 33-40°F for 12-24 hours [or longer]) can also stabilize ciders.
