For this cider I followed the GRAFF recipe in the cider section. I changed it a bit by not using hops, and subbing 1 gallon apple juice for 1 gallon blueberry juice ($24, stupid expensive for one gallon). I did not want the balance to tart the slight bitter hops add, I wanted the tart of the blueberry to come through.
Here are some pics.
This tastes very tart and has a sour character as well. This tart is what you get up front, it is pronounced only to be calmed down by a touch of malt. The finish is blueberry with a hint of apple. This was surprising to me because I only used 1 gallon of blueberry, but at $24 a gallon I am glad it did its job.
