Maybe a bit too weak for my tastes but it all depends on the person. I'll make a third batch and tweak it a bit more, we'll see. |
Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine
wow that is a lot of everclear I am sure it taste OK long as you do not drink to much that stuff kills people.
just that 1 gallon I made put my wife and her friend to bed before 9pm. I would say it might need a little more not sure about double it would be bad for those of us who don't know when to stop unless your like my uncle and drink it strait |

Everything is relative. There's much more juice and cider in it - to be exact, 83% of the recipe is non-alcoholic. That's more than enough to cut the everclear way down, all the way to around 13% abv, that's wine territory! double the everclear and you nearly double the ABV to around 25%. how safe is it at 25%? mmm, that's a good question, depends largely how smooth it is! I could easily drink a few quarts of the original before I realized how much i had consumed! Quote:

I intend on finding the ideal ABV-Taste ratio for myself. |

$9.99 for a 750 |
Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine
I paid $15 each for 2 750s of 190 proof Everclear today. When I was in high school (I mean Grad School), this stuff cost $6.99 a bottle. Anyway. I used a gallon of cider and 3/4 of a gallon of juice, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and 10 cinnamon sticks. It finished boiling 2 hours ago and I'll let it cool until tomorrow morning. I will use the entire two bottles of everclear so I assume I will be approaching 20 ABV. Now to find something big enough to mix it in. The house smells lovely.

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine
I also removed the sticks after taking it off the heat. Not sure if that was a good play as there is still plenty of cinnamon residue in there but it still tastes and smells like apple pie with vanilla ice cream (the alcohol is not in it yet)

Re: Mac's Apple Pie Shine
Finishing up the second gallon we made, thanks for the recipe (sp) it was awesome!
