Subject: sugar query
My girlfriend has fallen for Strongbow cider (well, it's cheaper than
framboise, which she's also developed a taste for) and I'm looking to make
something similar. I see a lot of talk about added sugar; is that really
necessary for something that says it's 6% alcohol? JaH has mentioned
straight cider going from 1.050 to 1.010, which (according to my hydrometer)
should give 5.3%. For a non-spiced cider, is brown sugar appropriate, or
should I just add a little priming (corn) sugar to tweak the alcohol?
Any guesses on how dissimilar English apples would be to what I can get in
New England? I know a lot of English cider ( =? "scrumpy" ) is coarse and
very alcoholic, but Strongbow seems relatively smooth.

Reply should work, but please double check before using, it's a real pain to

Thanks,

assume that you are moderate in everything.
you now have an eXcess of moderation, a contradiction.
eXcessiveness is clearly the way to go...
