Dry cider I and my friend made last year, about 10 months in bottles. It is just apples and yeasts.

(Quick ego post while I write my “wiki” entry)

    It is because I start with apples, then have it pressed from local cider maker - for clear cider you need to add enzymes and clean it with bentonite.

    If you start with store bought juice it will be clear. (Plastering and filters get rid off these residues)

      Feels like this would have more body, too, right? I’d imagine that pectin would make it a bit chewy?

        When I asked about it in the “cidery” they told me that it is mainly visual and not flavour/taste difference.

        Mine taste similar to theirs but is more yeasty - I do my secondary fermentation in bottles.

          Huh. TIL. Thought it’d be like in beer where you get body from longer chains of sugars, unfermented.
