She may be a terrible influence, but @APRIL can't hang either.

She needs to up her tolerance.

There's a @Jehannum joke in there somewhere.

Tolerance = TALLER ANTS.

Make your own, it's silly easy. Grab a gallon of apple juice (other juices may work too, experiment) and just add some champagne yeast and an airlock to the top and a couple weeks later you'll have alcohol. Add in other flavors like vanilla or cinnamon or... snack packs.

That's jailhouse wine. Yup, it works.

Fucking Einsteins of Alcohol all up in this thread.

Effectively derailed now.

Maybe the UF is subtly trying to tell you that if you drink enough, your whiny friends will be more tolerable.

Here is a clone recipe including instructions when not kegging it: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=85887

Some of the ingredients will sound goofy, but you should be able to find them on any brewing supplies website that ships to your area.

Thats a good goal, but I would start smaller. Just get a gallon, add champagne yeast, put an airlock on it, and drink it in a couple of weeks. Scale up from there.

You might be on to something.

I have never used, nor will I ever use, Snapchat.

Have you also never trusted Klingons?

Cider is STUPID easy to make

So @Applesauce says she can't find much in the way of DECENT cider so you recommend using store bought apple juice? Really? You can't make anything decent with just desert apple juice from a bottle. This single varietal fad is just that, a fad. Good cider can only be made by using a range of types of apples from desert to cooking to get the right acidity/sugar balance. I used to grow 8 different varieties for cider, and a good cider farm may use up to 30. Of course you can just throw yeast into pasteurised apple juice but bad cider isn't what @Applesauce is complaining about not being available.

So fucking predictable.

 

[DJBrenton]

So you disagree? Care to illuminate us with your deep knowledge of quality ciders and production?

Are these real flatearthers, Adi? Like not just religious folk but like the earth is really actually flat folk?

I thought that site and that whole flatearth thing was just a ruse. Like another version of the Onion.

Yeah yeah, they're bloody serious about it. I mean Howard Stern is one of them.

 

[nukes]

I bet most commercial "cider" is apple juice with neutral grain spirits tossed in, A.K.A. crap.

I have no idea about US cider but cheap rubbish here can be made out of concentrate all year round. Good cider (which is what @Applesauce was on about) is made just from fresh apple juice using the yeasts from the skins. To be called cider, it has to be fermented apple juice so you couldn't just add alcohol to apple juice. Technically, if you add another juice afterwards such as strawberry, it's not cider. There is a very long tradition of cider making and scrumpy in the West Country (Cornwall, Devon and Somerset).

Dude relax. No one needs to press their own apples, harvest their own cinnamon bark, use two stage fermentation, and then keg their FIRST cider.
