That's what I was thinking also...so I am just planning on doing 2 separate batches.

B was thinking along that same line of getting a bigger pot but my burner would tend to make a single hot spot in the middle of the pot; and with all that sugar in the mix...probably burn. Much rather make up 2 separate batches.

Thanks Y'all !

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine

I have some left over from last year that ill have to dig out of the frig and see how they are. I also grabbed some fireball whiskey that I'm going to throw in the next batch later this year.

Isn't an issue if you stir it ocasionally. Last three or four batches I have made have been double batches. Only real issue with making a double batch in one pot is that it takes forever to bring to a boil...like 75 minutes.

I don't know how far you are from Rhode Island, but you can get it there. I believe they sell the 190 proof version. Careful with that stuff!

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine

I made a batch of this about 2 weeks ago. I had to make my own cider (could not find cider hereabouts...the 20#'s of Gala apples only cost me $10.

I also use some whole All Spice, clove and vanilla pods...when first made up this is some potent stuff...but I think it will mellow out some.

Here is a link to some pics.

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine

Can I freeze some good cider in its own jug and then make this in the summer? Probably a dumb question :r:r

Not really sure that would turn out...cider has gotta be fresh to to get the pie taste. Not sure the unfrozen stuff would work out too well. :2 Really never know until you try.

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine

Was curious if the cider would taste different.

At Cider Hill farm where I use to live, obviously they make cider, and I noticed they sell whats leftover from the fall in the summer and its frozen in the jugs. Didn't know if anyone had any experience with that.

But after reading this page (should have done that first) seems like this stuff keeps really well. Might as well just make it now.

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine

Thats awesome. I will just make some this week and attempt to not drink all of it.

I made a batch from the original recipe in this thread and liked it. How is the evolution compared to the original? Just a refinement of the recipe?
