Taste Notes
FG:1.008 SO A LITTLE ON THE DRY SIDE. HOWEVER I ADDED ABOUT 2LB OF FRESH FIGS TO THE MIX ALONG WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF HONEY. REALLY I USED THE HOT FIG JUICE TO CLEAN OUT THE HONEY BUCKET TO GET ALL THE HONEY OUT I COULD. THE CYSER IS A LITTLE ON THE ACIDIC SIDE, SOMETHING I THINK THE FIGS WILL HELP WITH, AND AGING. NEXT TIME I DO CYSER I AM GOING TO DO SOME SPICE COMBINATIONS IN POST FERMENTATION. I DON'T WANT TO OVERUSE CINAMMON, BUT VANILLA, ALLSPICE, CINAMMON, RAISINS, AND SOME OTHER SPICES REALLY MESHED WELL WITH APPLES. A LITTLE MORE ALCOHOLIC THAN I WANTED AS WELL, BUT NOT BURNING BECAUSE OF IT WHICH IS GOOD.Notes
