    Back Sweetening with Fruit Question

    an option I came across last night while watching some youtubes is to take a juice made from the fruit you want to use and reduce it down by 2/3 or so into a concentrated syrup and use that, just an idea Sorry I do not have any input for your actual question..

    New to this and have a Cyser question

    From everything I have read, you can expect about 100-110 points of attenuation, that leaves you at about a 1.050 final and 14.4% ABV. Your spices should balance out the sweetness and bring down the perceived sweetness a bit. Also take into account that if it goes dry, it will be approx 21%...
