    OP asked about shine (hence the title).
    Mentioned his dad used to make hard cider but couldn't remember how.

    Two different things.

    Yup.

    I make a killer mead.
    Last batch came out to about 17%, used a mixture of 3 yeast strains including a champagne yeast that's tolerant to 22% and held temperature at a steady 78.
    Let it stew for 6 months and bottle directly from the primary fermenter.

    After 5 years, I started seeing a lot of sediment in the bottles, so next batch I'm going to run through a secondary fermenter instead of aging it on the lees.
