Fruit season is in full swing, so give the people who don’t know what to do with too much fruits some ideas ;-)

      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.

          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.
