It was finany time to bottle the cider after 17 days of fermentation. The cider turned out to be around 5.5% ABV and i hope to store for 6-12 months before drinking. But It wouldn't surprise me if it's consumed a lot sooner. πŸ€ͺπŸ₯‚ #cider #foodstr #drinkstr

Nice! I waited 3 months before trying mine last year, and then it was already good.

Our apple trees didn’t produce nearly as much as last year. We made cider but we never fermented it…how hard is it/how much equipment is necessary to make small batches?

To ferment small batches of cider, you just need a closed container with an airlock. I'm using a 20-liter water bucket that I've mounted an airlock on, but I'm definitely going to upgrade to more professional equipment once I start getting larger quantities of apples.
