Fermenting the fruit when making crabapple wine/cyser seems to be pretty widely accepted. But this doesn't seem to be the case with regular apples. Why is it that cyser/apple wine is made by fermenting (pressed) apple juice, while the opposite seems to be true for crab apples, ie; we ferment the whole fruit?
Is it just a simple matter of crab apples not being very juicy, and having little recourse other than fermenting them?
