Apples 2016 redux
Nov. 27th, 2016 09:14 am Did testing today and came up with:
Candy apple: it's basically gone to dry, it tastes nice and smells better, I need to bottle this.
Flanders Red Apple: I can't get a good read on this, it has maybe 1-2% left, tastes like the kind of awful that will age into magic. Added a handful of French oak chips, need to rack it to a secondary. Not sure whether to bulk age it or bottle soon.
Sweet cyser: at 7% remaining, tastes like cyser and green alcohol, chugging along quietly.
Berlinerweisse: this was a stroke of genius. It did the tart thing I wanted it to do, it is beautiful, is at 1% and should be bottled soon. I have no idea what its alcohol is like, but I'll bottle it carbonated so it doesn't matter as much anyhow. It's basically apple lemonade.
Quince cider/wine/whatever: is at 2%, there's still a lot of bubbling string the quince pulp, it tastes really aromatic and flavorful against the backdrop of green alcohol. I'm excited about this one.
Dark graff: no measurement yet but it's clearly done bubbling, time to bottle. Smells nice but needs aging.
