Hi everyone,
I am new to cider making and want to start a few gallon batches to have ready for fall.
I have read about people adding berries/peppers/flavoring to both primary and secondary fermenting. What steps can be taken when adding fresh ingredients to ensure that contamination doesn't happen? Is simply washing fruits enough? Are the results much different adding in primary or secondary?
Thanks,
Jason
