First Cider Results/question (it's Crap)

[grantsglutenfreehomebrew]

Why do you boil the apples? If you're concerned about the wild yeast, I would just look at pasteurisation temps rather than boiling.

Easier to wack on and set timer and walk away for ten, I guess. You're right. Pasteurisation temp would be better.

Boiling the apples will make them taste like cooked apple of apple pie. Real cider is often fermented with wild yeasts. You are better off suphiting the juice to knock out wild yeasts.
