Finally got a chance to rack off the hard cider. It ended up going 6 weeks instead of 4 because of schedule conflicts and an untimely cold on the part of my helper. The cider looks great! It was only burping about once every 10 mins so the yeast did it’s job eating all that nice juice sugar.
When I was in college (1,000 years ago) we would buy a gallon of fresh apple juice from the local orchard. We would store the glass jug by the radiators in our room and wait for the lid to pop off. Then we knew the cider was ready to drink. So primitive. It's a wonder I made it to graduation.

Oh man - tart cider is my favorite! I’m smacking my lips over here thinking about it.
My mouth is watering just reading this. Tart releases more digestive juices, right? Thus thus making it a healthful beverage beyond tasting good. Yum!
