Notes

2.5 L of fresh Apple Juice (no preservatives/additives)
5 g packet of Lalvin Wine Yeast
1/2 cup of sugar / 1/2 cup dextrose

This is a super basic recipe as a test to expand off of.
I did two batches, one with table sugar and one with dextrose.

I am fermenting directly in the apple juice container from the store.

I may or may not carbonate. Might just try to drink right out of container.

OG with table sugar was 1.056

Recipe costs can be adjusted by changing the batch size. They won't be saved but will give you an idea of costs if your final yield was different.
