I had 2 carboys filled around nov 1 with fresh apple cider that had been "Cold Pasteurized" which I have no idea what that means.
I tasted the cider and it was great, so I just added wine yeast and left it alone. It now tastes like bitter green apples. SG is .998 or just below 1.000
I have many pounds of frozen wild black raspberries. I will gladly add what ever it takes to make it sweeter. Malto dextrin?
I thought about honey, but that will just up the alcohol content?
I was thinking 6 cups fruit and 2 lbs honey?
Not a clue, but its too bitter right now. I have a stainless conical available tomorrow so racking the cider on the fruit would be easy.
