Berry and fruit ciders! Strawberries, rasberries, blackberries, currants, plums, apricots. Five to eight pounds of fruit, apple juice to 5 gallons, any yeast. You can add all the sucrose you can ferment, because the cidery flaver is where you are headed anyway. I have a blackberry cider in keg that's about 8% and mixes well 50/50 with soda water.
