hello all, first time poster. i have been hovering on this site for a few weeks now and have learned a lot already. i love reading about the endless creative experiments that some of you come up with, definitely a creative bunch :rockin:.
i have made a strawberry cider that turned out absolutely wonderful (flavor wise), but it feels very heavy in the mouth, almost syrupy, not that thick but still heavy. how would i go about making it lighter? i don't know if i am making sense or not but that is the only way i can think to explain it, i don't really have the vocabulary to put it any other way (public education)
here is how i did it
1 gal apple juice
6 oz molasses
6 oz honey
1 cup brown sugar
2 cans apple juice concentrate
1/3 pkg cuvee yeast
15 raisons
rack to secondary on top of
20 fresh strawberries
32 oz pure blueberry juice
og: 1.095 racked at 1.015 bottled at 1.015.
