Hi all, 

here is a recipe I saved from the Homebrew Digest a year ago... 

It made some good cider. Kinda dry, but still had some appley sweetness. 
I'm going to try it again, when I make it to Apple Hill... 

I'll post a Apple Hill report soon. My Grandfather passed away, so I haven't 
had time to make it up there yet. Things should work out this weekend though..
