Share whatever - success brews, failures, questions...
Fruit season is in full swing, so give the people who don't know what to do with too much fruits some ideas ;-)

Picture is my test cider with hops. My boss said that if I told him it is some kind of beer he would believe me. He really liked it.
@plactagonic Care to share the recipe? Sounds great, especially since I know some folks who can’t take in gluten.
I always make cider from apples I can get my hands on so not specific in that way. But I recently shared here this blog post and it has everything you need to start brewing.
Juicing is the biggest problem so if you sort this out you can start experimenting with it. I will finalize some recipe for it next year.
@plactagonic I’ve made wine from multiple fruits before, the part with the hops was most interesting to me. That’s what eludes me when reading your post. When, how much, etc!
It is the same as dry hopping in beer. So in primary fermentation for ~week. If you let it for too long it gets grass tones (like bad grass taste).
This one had too much hops (~10g/l) for next time I will add 1-5g/l. As for what variety to choose go for some aromatic hops for dry hopping (it is usually specified in shops/e-shops), I used Summit.
@plactagonic That’s more specific, thank you!
