It's Summer and Id like to finish of my cider (that's been fermenting for over 2 weeks) with a fruity hint... so I was thinking, instead of priming with sugar or honey.. why not try doing up a fruit compote?
I was thinking maybe a few punnets of strawberries, blackberries, blueberries mixed with about 30-50g of sugar and some water to dissolve the sugars.. boil for 15 mins, sieve of fruits and seeds, let it cool, add a pectolase and leave for 12 hours... then add it to fermenter.
Does this sound viable or has anyone experimented with this around here?
I'd love the thought of a nice crisp cider with a fruity hint.
Any thoughts?
By the way it's a 5 gallon batch
