I have 2 gallons of apple cider (juice) brewing. Was thinking of adding about 8 lbs of sour cherries when I rack to secondary. The cherries which were picked in August & have been frozen since then. Should I pasteurized them, just pitch them in or sulphite?
Cold crashing in winter? I'm located in frozen north. So in winter it can be 20 below or colder. Could I rack to a secondary & cold crash for 4-5 hours outside & then bottle pasteurize?
