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!

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.

I put a whole bottle in the batch and a shot in the bottom of the jars to help things along!

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

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.

Really never know until you try.

never_enough · 11-18-2012, 06:04 PM

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.

kelmac07 · 11-18-2012, 06:08 PM

I've had some in the fridge for almost 10 months ago and it still tastes fine.

never_enough · 11-18-2012, 06:14 PM

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?

Just yummier.

never_enough · 11-18-2012, 06:27 PM

Can't wait to make some

How does this pair up with a good maduro cigar by the way?

PERFECT pairing!!!

Hey Everyone! Forum newbie here.... I found this while researching my next batch and had to get into the conversation.

Back a few pages I saw the Simply Apple juice and started Googling. This seems to get awesome reviews and I'm game to try it... Soooooo, could I just use this instead of the juice/cider combo? Thoughts?

Also, where I can't find 190 proof Everclear I just found 190 proof Golden Grain made by the same company.... I usually add 9 ounces of booze (151 Everclear) to a quart jar and then top off to the line with the 'base'.

So Mac, on top of that 9 ounces of what will now be 190 Golden Grain you add almost a ounce per quart of the whipped cream vodka? Never tried that before.... Might give it a shot.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Go introduce yourself in the New Inmate Processing Area so you can get a proper greeting from the gang. Good to have you here!

bresdogsr · 12-13-2012, 09:42 PM

Made some this past weekend. Wow what a great taste. Thanks for the recipie.

CigarSquid · 12-16-2012, 02:07 AM

Made some with my buddy last night.. Didn't use your recipe. Went off of his. Matter of fact, I have never looked in this thread till now.

Here is out finished product.

I am going to make my own, very soon and use your recipe.. Compare the two.. From reading, MACS seems way better!

kelmac07 · 12-16-2012, 08:06 AM

Love to hear your recipe Garry. Stuff looks kinda of light in color...did you use any type of cider?

Not my recipe.. I take no credit at all.. and after reading yours, this one is weak.

My buddy made a 6 gallon batch, 3 gallon apple juice, 3 gallons apple cider and 3 5ths of grain alcohol. 3 cups of white and brown sugar and at least 10 sticks.

I will be making yours prolly next week... and surely sticking with yours.. for here on out.
