Strawberry Hard Cider with Store Bought Juice. We once made a strawberry cider, but we didn't record it as we weren't making videos back then. However! We recently tasted this cider again, and thought... "We need to make strawberry cider!". So here we are. We're using store bought apple juice and frozen strawberries, a little sugar and some S-04 yeast to make this. It's a fairly simple cider, but one you might enjoy and it's ready to drink a lot more quickly than many other brews!

Lots of strawberry farmers in my area. Buying them straight from the farm stand makes them really cheap (comparatively) and some will even allow me to pick them myself. A few hours of picking & cleaning, a few nights in the freezer and coming spring this one’s high on my list! 🤩

Its taking a while to get to all of your videos. Still so much fun! I regularly make raspberry and blackberry cider and have made strawberry as well. This (cider) is what got me into home brewing. I have found about a pound of berries per gallon works out for me. I recently bought strawberries and froze them (I didn't have time to start) and will be making a strawberry rhubarb cider soon. I have seen you add fruit during primary fermentation and that is what I do. However, you are waiting to add the strawberries this time. Why? I added them during primary the last time I made my strawberry and it worked out. Yes, The "bloop bloop bloop" needs to be a T-shirt!

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

To do something a little different is all. Adding them in secondary gives more fruity flavor and less "essence" of the fruit in alcohol.

What are your thoughts on using campden tablets when using frozen/fresh fruit? I have never done it and was looking at other recipes, found out a lot of people say it is a must add to prevent spoilage, now I am worried some of mine may spoil. I DO pasteurize all of my ciders to date for the purposes of bottle carbing, but have never used the campden tablets. I would prefer to keep it clean and use minimal additives.

New to brewing anything (MoreBeer starter kit is still in the box). I want to make Porters but my wife loves pear ciders and etc. I'm been loving your very easy-to-follow videos, super beginner-friendly. I notice how you guys stress aeration, degassing, breaking up yeast, and the general need to mix things up. Have you tried using a cheap magnetic stir plate? If so can you tell me to pros/cons? Followed your advice and picked up some half-gallon apple juice bottles and they gave me the juice!

@drbell26 2 года назад

On observation, I noticed my bottles are concaved on the bottom. I doubt magnetic stirrer could function. If recommended I'll look for a different brand of bottle for future use.

@CitySteadingBrews 2 года назад

I don't think it's worth it, but that's just my opinion. Not really going to degas much, or aerate much. There's no need to break up the yeast past day 2 or 3 so.... to me? Just more trouble than it's worth.

Hey CS Brews! I had done a Hydromel batch with raisins back in June 12, it's going very well, I did notice a thick layer of sediment or yeast deposits on the bottom like yours did, I'm assuming that's the "yeast Cake" and that its a normal thing, or does it happen when you use slightly too much yeast/yeast nutrients? Love the video, might do a Strawberry Cider someday!

@joshuaw817 3 года назад

I used Fleischmann’s yeast. After 13 days it stopped fermenting. At 14th day I took a reading and after calculations I’m at 6.17%. Is that because of the yeast or something else? I did leave the jug on the counter fermenting. I just added frozen mixed berries instead of strawberries (wife request). Oh and it tasted pretty good at this point. Starting gravity 1.052, today is 1.005. “Edited” not even 10 minutes later “I GOT BUBBLES” again LoL

@YourGraveDigger83 3 года назад

Im brand new to making cider/mead. So I have watched a lot of your videos. Now on some videos you say not to add air to the batch because it can turn to vinegar. So when do you know, do you know you can disturb the batch without making vinegar?

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

Add oxygen when you assemble the brew but never after.

@CosmicHiker22 Год назад

My wife and I started this recipe. When we went to remove the strawberries we followed the same method but ours basically disintegrated upon contact. Even after racking we have a ton of floaties, some of it has settled, but there's some fruit chunks/pieces that are very small just suspended about an inch from the top of the liquid. Any recommendations on getting this 'pulp' style substance out before bottling? I thought about using some kind of fine mesh sifter, but I think some of these chunks will make it through even the smallest mesh.

Would a proof hydrometer provide any valid reading for wine or mead. Did not have a hydrometer when I started. Concern is at what proof is non refrigeration safe? Got a cherry mead, several wines and dry mead to deal with. Everyone of them 10% or greater simply because of sugar added and 71b, that and alcohol is very present. So throw me a bone here, cause I am developing a recipe for an smoky mead along Islay scotch like Ardbeg. That an bourbon tasting mead.

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

It won't really since you normally need over 30% alcohol for those to even get a reading. Over 10% is generally considered safe, but I store ciders and beers that are 5% too. Never had a problem. As long as fermentation is done and you bottled properly, shouldn't be an issue.

If you ferment it more, it will be less sweet. I'd just drink it and enjoy it.

A fermenter with free juice in it. Then I know a couple of brewpubs that sell fermenters with half-price beers! Before covid, I'd walk down the juice aisle at the grocery store and not think anything about it. But during isolation I fell down the deep, dark hole of home fermenting videos, and now I look at all the gallon bottles of juice on the shelf and wonder how many of those are actually being bought to drink as juice. It all makes sense now why the juice aisle is so big, lol...

People still drink juice? I thought that was just source material for wine and mead....

How is cider in the US differed from UK cider? I get the impression you like sweet cider but is that standard in the US?

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

Well... I'm not in the UK so I cannot really speak on what is available there, but I think in general, UK hard cider is drier than American versions.

I highly underestimated the excitement that I felt when my first brew began bubbling!

"EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP!" That's a new song title if I've ever heard one. It's been a long time since I made an Apfelwein, I've made two, a sweet one and a spiced "Chrismas Apfelwein." No one liked the second one which had cinnamon and brown sugar. Maybe you guys can make such a thing properly.

Oh. Nice. Free cider :-)

Instead of using sugar can I use honey and/or agave instead?

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

Answered this when you asked on another video :) Yes but it won't be the same.

Could black cherries be used in place of strawberries?

@CitySteadingBrews 3 года назад

It won't be strawberry cider but sure.

@slowe60 4 года назад

so did you get to do the second part? add strawberries? I couldn't find it?

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

We just filmed this video days ago!

@vittoriabakes 4 года назад

How do you do the math on that? I'm going to be doing my first hard cider soon.

I like how you still put your thumb over the cap to shake it

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

It would totally blow out everywhere if I didn't.

Have you ever made strawberry kiwi mead?

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

How many gram of wine yeast should I add to make it the same abv as this one in the video . I am making ten litres thanks

@CitySteadingBrews Год назад

Yeast doesn’t determine abv. Use about a tsp and a half. It’s hard to use too much but if you don’t have enough the colony may not form.
