I just set 2 batches of cyser mead. I'm hoping that they're ready in time for the winter holidays. I saw the instructions NANP had for cyser and wondered how that would turn out. the only thing is, I didn't want to toss that other quart of cider that you pour off the gallon. Unforunately all I had was a partial package of champagne yeast and a bunch of ale yeast, so I did the cherry cyser with the ale and the wassle cyser with the champagne. Both are one gal batches.
First: Wassle Cyser
2.5 qt cider
.75 qt orange juice
2lbs honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp clove
champagne yeast
second: cherry cyser
1 qt black cherry juice
1.5 qt cider
2 lbs honey
ale yeast
