Cranberry Cider recipe

[playmaker21]

Place first 4 ingredients on a 5-inch-square piece of cheesecloth; tie with string.

Bring cider and juice drink to a boil with spice bag in a Dutch oven. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Remove and discard spice bag before serving. Serve hot or cold.

This looks like a good recipe. How long would you let it sit after bottling?

Well, I've got another cider planned. Kind of going cheap on this one, in some respects (yeast) but we'll see how it goes:

3.5 gallons Musselman's pasteurized apple cider
1 gallon (11 cans) of Cran-Apple 100% juice concentrate (thawed)
3 quarts of pure 100% unsweetened cranberry juice
Packet of Nottingham ale yeast

I know nottingham lays waste to cider, but I've never tried it so I thought at least with a cranberry cider there's lots of flavour and acid so its going to still have some flavour left, and this would be a good one to try an aggressive strain on. At least its not champagne yeast, hehe.

But it should give an OG around 1.080, and I'll bottle condition it without sorbating/sweetening.

Wow, thanks for sharing this recipe. My grandma and I would usually make Apple Cider so this is new to me and I would love to try it and share it as well.
