Hi guys, this is my first post here so please be gentle! I ordered a few bits of kit a couple of days back to venture into the world of home brewing and decided cider will be the start of the adventure. Currently I've got a few jars going to create some natural yeast for using in the brewing.
My aim is to create a mixed fruit cider, although it's my first ever time brewing, I'm feeling pretty excited already. I just want you guys to hit me with some feedback/suggestions on this one;
I want to brew up a strawberry, blueberry & apple fruit cider as naturally as possible but am stuck when it comes to when to add the fruit, or even just press the fruit and use the naturally juices to flavour the cider. I've heard of a lot of people flavouring their ciders between the first and second fermentation stages so just wondered if anyone has tried and tested this?
At the moment I have for 100% pure apple juice with some strawberries and blueberries in a jar to work up some yeast as a starter but not sure that there will be much of a pleasant flavour from it, if any at all - although it's started to carbonate and smells awesome! :rockin:
Thanks for reading guys and happy brewing!
