@MuteDog sweet ones, that's just what I have. I was asking more about the usage - where to put it in the process in fermenter, to the boil (as I found someone do it with concentrate)

@AndiPopp @homebrewing I know, few months ago I was in Belgium and visited brewery that makes lambics.

Tbh I really don't like this style I was thinking about some dubbel or some different strong style.

Do anyone here from the #homebrewing fedi bubble have any good recipe or suggestions how to use it?

@homebrewing

What are you brewing? in c/homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

@paulywill @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz so what's the plan? Make wort and mix it with raspberry juice and ferment it or something more elaborate?

@paulywill @plactagonic@sopuli.xyz like, is it in fermenter or just in planning stage?

This seems like overkill aging time for me.

@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.

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 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/homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

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.
