Went to BJ's Brewhouse a while back and my wife fell in love with their Berry Burst Cider.
I am hoping to make a cider that she will like.
I was thinking...
1 gallon apple juice/cider
2 gallons mixed berry juice
Nottingham yeast
Let it go for a few weeks and see where it's at for taste/ sweetness and then decide to back sweeten if need be.
Plan on bottling to carb and then pasteurizing on my stove top.
Now for my questions...
1. Does this recipe seem like it will work?
2. If I need back sweetening, what should I use and how much?
3. How much corn sugar for carbing when I bottle?
4. Do I need yeast nutrient?
5. Please feel free to give any and all suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
