I have a batch going right now with some adjustments, I've learned a lot since I made this recipe.
Made this a 6 gallon batch and left the sugar at 1.5lbs. OG of 1.065
Using danstar strong Belgian ale yeast instead of ec1118
Added 2 tbsp Fermaid o after lag and at 1/3 sugar break.
At around 1.004 now so almost done and smells amazing, all apple no fusels.

Old school thread. I am doing this with sour cherry that I have in front yard. Turned out great. It had a bite like a cranberry but also sweet. I don't recall doing sorbate and cambden but will on this batch and then force carb in keg. Also I might put some cream of tartar see I that improves it

Picture of my version. I do a wine and cider process. 4lbs of frozen sour cherries (from my tree) This pick actually had 1lb of chokecherry as well . Let them thaw then break up the skins then do a mixture 1.5 lbs brown sugar boiled with one gallon of water pour over the fruit, add yearst nutrient and acid blend then campden , wait 12 hours and add pectic enzymes 12 hours later add 4 gallons of apple juice, fermented with cuvee yeast for 30 days around temps of 65-72, then add cream of tartar and campden with 2 cans of pomegranate/cherry juice in keg and carbed it up. The og was around 1.054 and finished around 1.000

What's the cream of tartar for?
By Danstar Strong Belgian, do you mean their Abbaye Ale Yeast?....
