It's the cider you guys are using. I'm buying a fresh cider from a local farmers market here in Virginia. I'm assuming you guys are buying a grocery store cider, which is known for a longer shelf life, but more processed than the fresh stuff.

I didn't use anything but clear liquids even the cider was clear, only one I could find actually.

As for storage of this stuff. Do I have to store it in the fridge. Was going to keep some of it in the same closet I keep a coolidor. It's dark and as cool as I can let it be, say highest around 80 in the summer. Will it be okay in there for some months?

Jason...I always store mine in the fridge. Have kept some in there for as long as nine months and it's still as good as the day I made it. Not sure about leaving it stored outside the fridge...I know I won't do it.

If I had used fresh cider I'd definitely agree. Gonna try for a while and see what happens since I used pasteurized preservative filled cider and juice.

Now another question. Found with tasting that the cinnamon was really good and a little high so didn't need to leave in the jars. You think I can save and reuse the sticks?

I've personally never re-used the sticks. After I cook it and it cools down, I toss the sticks. If you leave them in the jar, it gets too strong. I guess you could always try to re-use them. Not sure how strong the cinnamon will be.

I like them in the jar..

Reuse, prolly not much left after the 1st use.

Ditto. Sounds awesome.

I have one jar left in the fridge. Made a half batch a while ago, and accidentally used enough cinnamon for a full batch.

So, I cut it back down with apple juice, and add some vodka too kick the alcohol content back up.

Still works good for me.

MUNKY · 08-12-2013, 09:10 PM

Ok, I need to try this. I have been buying some at our local store and this sounds amazing.

shortbus · 08-17-2013, 11:21 AM

Gotta try this as soon as I can find some cider.

kelmac07 · 09-01-2013, 09:00 AM

Mac, I made my first batch last night and finished her up today. We did a fair amount of yard work today and finished off passing the jar around. Everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

This may be a dumb question, but are you boiling your mason jars shut or just closing them by hand?

PS. thanks for sharing this, look forward to trying this real soon.

kelmac07 · 10-08-2013, 12:15 PM

Just closing them by hand.
