I started a 5 gallon batch of raspberry apple cider a little over a month ago. Took a taste today and found that it is extremely tart. I believe that the raspberry puree I used may have been too much, the ingredients I used were:
4 gallons of organic apple juice
1qt. of raspberry puree
1 packet of Red Star Montrachet yeast
2lbs. of brown sugar
Now I have two questions:
1. Was a quart of puree too much for 5 gallons?
2. What can I do to salvage this batch in regards to knocking the tartness down a notch and get it a bit sweeter?
