THIS IS THE FIRST CIDER THAT I'VE MADE. IT IS A VARIATION OF A FRIENDS RECIPE. IF YOU WANT A STRONGER APPLE FLAVOR YOU CAN DOUBLE THE APPLE EXTRACT, AND PRIME WITH APPLE CONCENTRATE. I LIKE THIS RECIPE. ITS VERY CARBONATED, SO WE ARE GOING TO BOTTLE IT IN CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES FOR MY BROTHERS GRADUATION, THUS THE NAME.
