Dark Cider

As part of a homeschool project, my son baked some corn bread thing with molasses in it. I enjoyed it with a pint of Edwort's Apfelwein, and it was an AWESOME combo. This latest batch of Aplfelwein I made, I put the rest of the molasses in the fermenter with the regular recipe, and I an just now kegging it. I siphoned off a pint or two to try, and it is fantastic.

Just wanted to toss that out there; didn't see anything obvious about that particular recipe change on the forum. It was easy and it really is good. Different, but good different.

I regularly use a couple liters of molasses when I make stout. I do like the flavor it adds.

A couple litres???? For how much wort?

1 Coopers Stout can
500g Muntons DME
1.5kg molasses

Fermenter topped up to 20 liters. Comes out pretty good, IMHO.

I bought a pound and a half of strawberries, blended them to a purée and added that. It actually fermented quite quickly and violently. My first two batches of Eds apfelwine fermented slowly so I had the carboys pretty full. Needless to say the addition of the strawberries lead to a blowoff. End result was a hint of strawberry that tasted better when served a little warmer, not chilled.
