Read good things about using US05 with ciders - especially for people who prefer their cider to be on the sweeter side and less like a white wine. Originally bought Red Star Cotes des Blanc, but decided against it. May use it to ferment a 1 gallon batch just to what affect it has.

Dissolve the honey in 2 cups of apple juice (45 lbs of juice = 5 gallons) and add it and the rest of the juice to a sanitized carboy. Pitch yeast.

After the gravity gets to 1.006, crash cool in the lagering fridge to stunt fermentation, rack to a secondary, and add 4 lbs of frozen raspberries (thawed and crushed), potassium sorbate, and then store cool for a couple of months.
