    Procedure:
    1. Reserve 48oz (1.4L) of juice in the refrigerator to boil down to 12oz (350ml) to make juice concentrate for bottling day in 1 month.
    2. Combine ½ gallon of apple juice and ½ gallon of cherry juice, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and yeast in 1 gallon jug, shake to aerate the mixture, then seal with an airlock and allow to ferment FULLY for 1 MONTH.
    3. Boil down the reserved juice in a large pot until it is reduced in volume by 75%. You should end up with 12oz (350ml) of juice concentrate.
    4. Allow your juice concentrate to cool to room temperature BEFORE adding to the fermented cider for bottling.
    5. Combine the cooled juice concentrate and fermented cider in bottling bucket, then fill and cap bottles. Make sure that at least one bottle is a plastic soda bottle to use as a carbonation pressure indicator.
    6. Allow bottle to sit out at room temperature for several days until the soda bottle is very firm and pressurized, then either refrigerate or pasteurize the bottles of cider for storage.

    It is so good to see you putting out content again! After making your apple jack with freezer distillation, I started trying to malt my own corn for a different hobby. I watch George and Jesse as well. You guys have helped me have a great set of hobbies that leaves no friends thirsty!

    I've making home brew and hard cider for over twenty years. I use the keg to carbonate for the most part , but after seeing how you pasteurized I'm gonna give it a go. Great tips, I was always afraid of rupturing bottles but after seeing you do it and having it happen it's not so intimidating. Great channel, great instructions. Thanx

    Hey “B&B”, I’ve been making cider for the last four months after subscribing to your vlog. Thanks for your time and efforts to teach an old dog new tricks (I’ll be 75 in November). I have apple, pear, and cherry trees so your videos have given me a new hobby to have fun with during our Pacific North West rainy season, October to May. I use a steamer to make juice, then use your method of frozen concentrate to carbonate and add a little more flavor. Have had only one loose bottle cap after six batches. Keep up the good “work”!

    Love you videos. I've watched your original Hard Apple Cider video from the middle of 2018 several times now. I haven't pulled the trigger yet to do this myself but I'm considering doing it soon.

    On siphons and air locks and other related tools, most of them are not "needed",.
