Hi all,
I'm still a novice at this stuff, have made a few batches if cider and wine over the past few years with varying success.
Currently I have a container with 23L of juice from local apples (windfall apples, stewed, homogenised, and seived through muslin). I used wine yeast as nowhere local had any cider yeast this year. It's almost finished initial fermentation.
I have been reading about adding cinamen, all spice, sultanas etc. To add Flavour. Well, I was wondering if I could add some mincemeat instead? Or would the vegetable suet prove problematic?
Otherwise, I will soak some sultanas in some Whiskey, boil some cinamen sticks and spices, and maybe add some black tea...
Any thoughts on either of these strategies appreciated!
Thanks.
