how do you think this would work?

when my cider is done fermenting. put the whole bottle in a freezer until it turns slushy, then get a collender(spaghetti strainer) on top of a giant bowl or something.
pour the frozen slushy hard cider through and it will catch all the ice and pour the good stuff through
i think this would make the cider stronger

honestly, I wouldn't drink the cider.

I'd steal a bottle of wine before drinking that, all I can see happening is a really bad hangover.

If youre broke dude im telling you, Orloff Vodka. so cheap and effective if you plan it right you can get drunk for free, maybe even make a few bucks. let everyone buy in $5 and after 3 people you made more than your money back, and 1 bottle will get like 7 people trashed.

or just get 40oz's

but i know your doing it to experiement so do whatever ye want

even if it wasnt alcoholic i would drink the cider
it is really good. its a alcoholic drink you can savor the flavor and get wasted at the same time

way too much sugar in cider - if you get wasted on it, it will cause one helluva hangover.

scarymoose · 10-24-2006, 10:07 PM

i put about 1.5 pounds of sugar into 1 gallon of cider
the sugar will turn to alcohol so its all good

nastayyy

scarymoose · 10-24-2006, 10:11 PM

have you ever tryed my cider?
i think not

TacoSusio · 10-24-2006, 10:14 PM

if it was remotely palatable, everyone would be fermenting their own cider instead of buying booze from a store. but good luck, just let us know how it goes.

scarymoose · 10-24-2006, 10:31 PM

you dont have to believe it works but i done it before and i do it again
it does get alcoholicy, it does taste good, and it does get you drunk,
it may be cheap the only bad thing is it takes 6 months to make
that is probably why not a lot of people make it. its much easyer to go to the store and shell out 15 for a bottle of whatever then spend 3 on a bottle of cider then wait 6 months

so you want to freeze the water content and just get the alcohol? I doubt this would work, because alcohol and water are both polar. you'd also need extremely cold temperatures depending on the alcohol content, because of freezing point depression (where the alcohol drags the freezing point of water down... if you had 100 proof liquor you'd need at least 0 degrees fahrenheit to freeze it) turning it into a gas will though, so if you're dedicated to this project there are some really cheap still designs that can be made... the plus is that you can also make genuine absinthe with a still :) mmm stills RULE

oh yeah, freezing point depression is why antifreeze has alcohol in it :) it doesn't wanna be frozeeeeennnnn

here's a site with plans/pics for building your own still:

Tried summin similar once (was fucking broke), but it doesn't work...

alcoholic cider is real big in Europe i believe.... i dno how he's doing it and all that but alcoholic cider is good stuff

elroypornlab · 10-25-2006, 12:20 PM

I would imagine freezing it would make it stronger get rid off some of that water

scarymoose · 10-25-2006, 01:11 PM

i wouldnt need to complete freeze it
just wait until it gets slushy with ice chunks in it.
a freezer should get that cold
