How to make apple cider
(1) Pre-treatment. Selection of raw materials: Crisp apples with high maturity should be selected, which are required to be free of disease, insect, mold and raw green, and then washed with drinking water and drained. Crushing and juice extraction.

(2) Expanded culture of yeast. The first level of culture: take fresh apple juice, divided into two sterilized test tubes, each loading 10 to 20 ml, plus cotton plug. Sterilize under the pressure of 0.06~0.10 MPa for 30 minutes, cool to room temperature, access pure yeast 1~2 inoculation needles, shake to disperse, and incubate at 25~28℃ for 24~48 hours to make fermentation vigorous. Secondary culture: use sterilized triangular bottle, fill 500 ml of fresh juice, sterilized as above, access to two test-tube yeast liquids of vigorous culture, incubated at 25 ~ 28 ℃ for 24 ~ 28 hours, to be used after the fermentation period. Third-level culture: the use of sterilized 10 to 20 liters of large glass bottles, holding fresh juice accounted for 70% of the capacity, sterilization methods as before.

(3) Fermentation. Fermentation methods: low-temperature fermentation is preferred for cider. The first means is low-temperature smooth fermentation, the second is to extend the fermentation period, and the third is to produce enough ethanol content in the original wine.

(4) Post-treatment. Filling and sterilizing: Filling is carried out after aging treatment. The alcohol content above 16 ° does not have to be sterilized, if it is lower than 16 °, the cider is generally sterilized after bottling, the sterilization temperature is 68 ° C, the sterilization time is 20-30 minutes, or the product will be heated to 82 ° C, keep it for 20-30 seconds, and when the temperature is reduced to 63 ° C, it will be hot-filled, pressed the cap, and can be cooled naturally.
