9 months agoIn the US “apple cider” differs from hard apple cider (or just hard cider). The hard part of the name means alcoholic. Just plain old apple cider is really just unfiltered apple juice.
I’ve made rice wine with the yeast balls a couple times, it was sweet and very cloudy. I should try it again but in a much bigger batch to help get more liquids to separate out. I also experienced the sticky gross mush that wasn’t really pleasant to play with. I wrapped all the rice in cheese cloth in order to be able to squeeze out more liquids from the mush which did help, I always thought a juice press would be really useful at that stage.
