I haven't come up with a better name for this creation, it was what I labeled the bottles with and it stuck, MC stands for "Mixed Cider". This is a refreshing treat, slightly tart and a bit sweet. SO is in love with it.
MC Recipe(5 gallon batch):
2.5 gallons apple Juice (I use cheapest I can find)
2 gallons Welch's White Grape Cherry
200 grams sugar (I have used both dextrose and table sugar)
yeast nutrient
S-04 Yeast
2 quarts Welch's White Grape Cherry to add after fermentation is complete
Mix together the 2.5 gallons apple juice, 2 gallons of white grape cherry, sugar, and nutrient. Aerate with your preferred method. Pitch yeast. Ferment 3 weeks. Pour 2 quarts White Grape Cherry into keg then pour cider on top. Purge with CO2 and chill immediately to stop yeast activity. Carbonate and serve.
I have made this with D47 yeast and it was a bit drier. If bottling mix all 5 gallons of juice together and ferment. Add priming sugar and bottle after 3 weeks.
Enjoy!
