200 gallons of Critz Farm’s cider was placed outside in a large plastic cube for freezing for 4 weeks at 12 degrees of Brix.  After a month, the cube was then brought back inside to begin thawing to collect the concentrated juice.  Over a 3 day period, approximately 46 gallons of juice was captured at an average brix of 41.  During a month long fermentation process, the wine reached a peak of 64 degrees F before finishing at 21% residual sugar and 12.3% alcohol.
