Man, it is the apples. They are always so very tasty. I just put my hard cider into 2 liters (just wanted to get it out of the primary so I can start another batch and don't have cash for real bottles). I swear I started with 5 gallons! So why did I only need 14L worth of storage? 3.7 gallons for those who don't know. And I actually needed less than that since One of the two liters wasn't quite full.
I am not a heavy drinker. And for the first four weeks I didn't allow myself to touch it at all. Now, 2-3 weeks later and I am down almost a gallon and a half!!! If this stuff was low on the alcohol content I could understand but it has to be 15-18% and 20oz is more than enough to get me drunk. How the heck did this happen? Actually I am pretty happy with the results even if I can't keep myself away from them. Now when I make something else I will have something to occupy me.
Oh man, make that down 2 gallons... I added a half gallon of Zeiglers with preservatives to stop fermentation (didn't work just slowed it down... guess the concentrate would have been better) a few days ago. So, I should have had 5.5 gallons but I had only about 3.5. Ouch! Well, my liver might hate me but my taste buds are rejoicing.
