OK, long story, but...
I'm talking my old man into getting back into brewing his own beer. We gave it a bash back in the "can and kilo of sugar" days (circa 1984) and had the expected results (some of them drinkable). Anyhoo, after sampling my brews whenever he comes to visit, he is keen to put the brew hat back on. Not being afraid of the amber, this should save him some $'s which is good for a pensioner. The problem being my mother who thinks she doesn't have space for another fridge etc etc.
To get the idea into the good books with her I was thinking of brewing a cider, which she drinks, although nowhere near the volumes that my old man drinks beer (which I'm sure I've inherited the gene for).
So, my question is, how the hell do I make a decent cider ? Actually, can that. How do I make a cider similar to Strongbow dry (with a can and brewing sugar) ? Having hardly drunk the stuff (except for one fatefull xmas), and never having brewed it I wouldn't have a clue. Not really much info on the web about it either.
