Homemade Apple Beer

[holehogg]

Alcohol was not considered essential and therefore all liqueur stores were closed to the public from lockdown that started 26 March including the sale of cigarettes
The initial 3 weeks has been extended by a further 2 weeks since.
The amount of looting of liqueur stores across the country has been on the increase and plenty of arrests.
My son's beer stash ran out about a week ago and to keep him from ending up in jail I gave him a recipe for homemade apple beer 😊

Nice! Here we call it cider. It's been quite a while but I used to make cider on the regular.

[holehogg]

I'm sure your recipe is a lot more complex than the one we used.
It was supposed to be pineapple beer but there were none available at the store so we substituted the pines with apples.

Around these parts it's hard cider.

Hey they know better than to not consider booze essential here in the U.S.. 1920's proved that. Having said that if I was not considered in essential industry I would be home making my hard cider. Made it year or 2 ago and was super dry and tiny bubbles like a champagne. Neighbors loved it.

[Attjack]

I use champagne yeast.

That looks great. Thanks for sharing. I might just look into doing something like this now with more time on my hands at home.

Really cool! I don't drink but the art of craft adult beverages fascinates me. Enjoy your brew.

I can't believe South Africa shut down liquor stores. How is booze not essential? Are they crazy? I'm glad you're able to find a solution.

[holehogg]

Calling it crazy is an understatement 😊
