Hi guy's.. I found a recipe online for a Perry/
pear cider which consisted of the following.. 3 cans of pear halves in syrup, 300g sugar, 1tsp cinnamon, blended and simmered in a pan topped up with 3 litres of cold water and a wine yeast starter, in a DJ.. hydro reading of 1044 (which was as the recipe stated thank God) NOW I thought.... could I make a strawberry cider using the same principles? So instead of asking I've just done it..oh dear :/ after searching about I found that instead of using water to top up the 'strawberries in syrup', I've used apple juice... after giving it a whirl about and testing it I've got a hydro reading of 1110? Now I'm very very new to this but I like to do my homework so if anybody can tell me if this is going to work or any advice on the matter, then please be gentle... thanks
