    Can I add different fruit/flavours in various demijohns to red wine brew kit please?

    Hi there, I was going to add the fruit after secondary fermentation into a SEALED demijohn, no airlock, almost as if it were being bottled. I would be sure not to leave any air in the demijohn though, hopefully that way I can actually remove fruit and bottle it at a later date. Does this sound ok?

    How much lime to add to my cider kit please??

    I would say they are fairly small limes so I will probably go with juice of 3 and then I know it won’t be overkill.

    How and when to add extra fruit flavours to cider kits please?

    ok that’s great so would I be ok to just blitz the hell out of the un-frozen fruit and then add that straight into FV before secondary fermentation then? Thanks, this is all so helpful.
