    Wild yeast for cider attempt

    I may throw a half liter of juice at it after I decant the spent starter and see how that goes. Juice is cheap and the time investment is negligible

    Wild yeast for cider attempt

    Well, it looks like it has fermented. Looks like active fermentation. But man oh man it's kicking off some fusel alcohol aromas. I've taken it off the stirplate now because I don't think it's needed anymore.

    Wild yeast for cider attempt

    Ultimately I'll be looking for attenuation, yeast sedimentation, and evaluating aroma and finally taste.

    Wild yeast for cider attempt

    Well, it's not the normal cider from wild yeast where you get your yeast from the apples or the press. I just plucked a raspberry out of the backyard in this cool fall weather. And I've tossed it on my stirplate with about 100ml of apple juice. We'll have to see if anything comes of it. The...

But if you do, you'll get to keep some sweetness and extra apple flavour. So I say do it, and toss in the...

    Exploding Swing Tops

    Ginger Citrus Cider BJCP cat?

    Julienned into 1/4 inch sticks chopped 3/4-1 inch long. My last two ginger ciders were 75 g per gallon and I felt they could use more, you really only got any ginger bite towards the end of the bottle. So I kicked it up a notch.

    Ginger Citrus Cider BJCP cat?

    Finally pulled the trigger on this. 3 gallon batch 300g ginger, 30 g fresh peeled orange zest. I'm intentionally trying to keep the fermentation subdued, but I opened the ferm chamber and there's a pleasant and noticeable orange zest aroma. As long as I don't have fermentation issues from a...
