Cider making
Cider making is the process of producing a fermented beverage from apples. It begins with selecting fresh apples, which are then crushed to extract their juice. This juice is typically fermented by adding yeast, which converts the sugars in the juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The fermentation process can take several weeks to months, depending on the desired flavor and strength. Once fermented, the cider is filtered, sometimes carbonated, and then bottled. Different apple varieties and fermentation techniques can create diverse flavors, from sweet to dry, making cider a versatile drink enjoyed worldwide.
