looking for Quick Cider

[Brewerfan]

I will be receiving 20 gallons of fresh pressed cider for free under the condition I can get 5 gallons of cider w/a kick within after a week.

I read a receipe on this site before but cannot find it.

Any help would be great.

You are kidding us aren't you ???

Only with the best of luck and the best conditions you would
have a fermentation finish within a week.
Besides that, apple wine (cider) has to age at least half a year to get
drinkable.

So pass the 20 gallon on start reading some books on winemaking.

You might be able to get the cider to ferment in a week, however, it'll taste awful and it'll be very cloudy. Whites are better fermented at a lower temp, a bit slower really.

Like Luc, I store my hard unsweetened cider at least 6 months before it's drinkable.

Mabey i should have put this in the begginers fourm.

I spoke to the farmer's son and he said i can still have the cider.

I figured there was a way to make a somewhat drinkable beverage in a short amount of time.

I suppose that would be a prison wine. lol

I'll keep searching.

I would dump some spiced rum in the 5 gallons to make some "hard" cider and then ferment and age the rest properly.
