@jeena yes, if you want to know more: https://mstdn.dk/@EvilCartyen/113198511530283716

It is much better resource than what I wrote on Lemmy year ago. He also writes about what you can add. In my case I make cider from whatever apples I can get my hands on.

I opened first two bottles of my #cider the test batches with hops and spices.

The one with hops needs another month in bottles - it smells amazing but it still has too much bitterness. I don't know why it is noticeably darker and why it makes foam like beer.

The one with spices tastes too much like Christmas (I just don't know how to describe it better). So it is good but not exactly the season for it. I can imagine it will be good with some Christmas cookies or something like that.

I like more the Christmas one (because it is ready to drink now), my boss on the other hand likes more the hopped one. (Yes I drink at work)

I am excited for the batch with oak chips and the basic cider, which I will probably taste next week.

I will probably make another 1-2 batches of #cider . I would like some other suggestions what to add. (f.cz)

I was thinking about some herbs and wood chips. Is there anything else I could try?

So it begins, this year about month earlier. Tomorrow I will get it juiced and expect ~100 l of juice. It was little bit unexpected to do it today but somehow I managed to do it, in 4 weeks I should in c/[email protected]

So all juiced, it could be better it has 11% sugars (2% less then last time we did it). Still better than last year when we didn't have any apples.

@AchtungDrempels I am glad you saw it, my instance went down after I posted it. So now I have to use mastodon (my alt account instance doesn't federate with world)
