Taste Notes

2018-02-23: Hmmph. Not sure. A bit funky. Grapefruit and strangeness! :-) Some back of the mouth/throat kinda bite. Will see when it is chilled and carbonated - might well be ok. Might be it needs months of rest but it isn't going to get it I don't think. Moral of the story. Don't let it sit on the trub long past primary. When evaluating this cider, it is also important to remember that this is entirely a wild ferment!

Notes

2017-10-26: 3/4 Gallons of apple cider from Connant Orchards began fermenting in the fridge a week ago. We picked up a quart of pure cherry juice from the store today and added it to it (mixed taste is delicious). I am going to guess that the cherry juice SG is 1.050 as well. I racked the whole to a one gallon fermenter to fill it, and added and airlock. It is now going to ferment in the brewery at room temp. The only yeast/bacteria used is what was in the cider. 2017-10-27: Bubbling away steady with carboy temp at roughly 68°F. 2018-02-23: Racked to the new little 1.5G Torpedo Keg. Direct from the refractometer, the SG is 5.3 Brix. This converts to 1.003 for the FG, and 6.2% ABV.
