Apple Ale
2lbs apples (any sort)
1 gallon of cold water
1� lbs sugar
1oz root ginger
� tsp cloves (optional)
pinch cinnamon (optional)
Wash apples and grate coarsely. Do not peel or core apples.
Add water and cover with lid (not airtight) or clean tea towel.
Stir this apple water daily for a week.
After a day or two (depends on the temperature) the mixture will start to ferment due to the natural yeasts on the apple skins.
After a week strain into a clean container.
Add sugar and spices. Stir until sugar is dissolved and leave overnight.
Strain into plastic �lemonade� bottles.
Release pressure daily �� it is dangerous to leave the bottles for a long time!
Ready to drink after a week.
Will keep for several months gradually getting drier and more alcoholic.
