Re: Homemade Hard Apple Cider
Too much sugar means what you get out is more sugary, because the yeast won't eat it all. The alcohol the yeast makes is toxic to the yeast itself, so there is a limit. Champagne yeasts are more alcohol resistant, which is why they can produce more alcohol before dying. Blitz it with yeast. Like, at the very start put a bunch of yeast in there so they make as much as they can as quickly as they can before the alcohol kills them. Either that, or make a still to evaporate the alcohol off (but that makes it not really cider, just apple alcohol) then put more yeast into the mash you're left with.
