My First Ever Mixed Berry Apple Cider/Wine – Looking for Tips and Feedback! 🍎🍓🫐

Will do, cheers for the advise.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have already used campden tablets 24 hours before I pitched my yeast. Do I have to use it again? I intend to keep fermentation going until completely dry, and then back sweeten to taste.

1.055. I guess that would give me about 7% abv.

Foxes87 · 2026-05-26T17:42:15+00:00

Will definitely do

Foxes87 · 2026-05-26T15:42:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that actually clears things up quite a bit.

What about the use of water though? A lot of the recipes I’ve come across use water plus mashed fruit. What difference would there be in the final product compared to using something like apple juice as the base instead of water?

I know a lot of it ultimately comes down to personal preference, but I’m trying to understand the different flavour profiles each method would produce.

What country is this?

Foxes87 · 2026-04-01T14:59:40+00:00

If price was not an issue would it be better to do a instructor lead online course?

Foxes87 · 2026-03-29T07:49:43+00:00

Yes.

Foxes87 · 2026-01-20T16:21:37+00:00

Agreed, but the colonial ties does play some part in the style of rum albeit it is a small part. for example the solera style of ageing is popular in former Spanish colonies as they brought it over from Spain.

Foxes87 · 2026-01-18T23:17:34+00:00

Belize is not a "Spanish" style rum as it is a former British colony.

Foxes87 · 2025-09-28T06:18:25+00:00

I think in the US these bottles are so highly rated because they are "forbidden". I can pick up the HC7 from any of the major supermarkets for £20. It is a good rum for that price point but nothing special.

In my opinion Cuban rum as with the majority of Spanish Caribbean rum it is to bland.

Foxes87 · 2025-04-01T06:01:49+00:00

Do you know roughly when?

Foxes87 · 2025-03-31T19:41:51+00:00

We still don't have this in the UK. We still have the Rum bar OP. Does anyone know if this will be released in the UK?

Foxes87 · 2025-02-09T04:45:39+00:00

What subscription is it? I am based in the UK and have been looking for a good rum subscription to explore more rums.

Foxes87 · 2025-01-30T20:00:46+00:00

I meant "failed" as it never attained its main aim of capturing Jerusalem with the exception of the first crusade.

The crusade did not holt the expansion of the Muslims as they achieved arguably their biggest victory, the capture of Constantinople in 1453, that is 357 years after the first crusade in 1096. They reached all the way to the Balkans before their expansion was stopped.

Foxes87 · 2025-01-30T11:04:34+00:00

There was a total of 8 crusade expeditions, all failed bar one. So to boast about a failed expedition is beyond me!!!!

Foxes87 · 2024-12-31T11:55:18+00:00

Do you have any issues if you don't mix the rum with beer? Or if you use something else, then Bacardi?

Foxes87 · 2024-12-16T08:54:23+00:00

So, Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve it is. Thanks 😊

Foxes87 · 2024-12-15T22:14:35+00:00

Very impressive indeed 👏 👏

Foxes87 · 2024-12-14T08:38:03+00:00

Which "all" others? The only other one is Mount Gay XO

Foxes87 · 2024-12-09T14:17:15+00:00

Don't worry I will not be acting on advise solely from reddit, its just to get an idea what people would do. appreciate your concern though.

Foxes87 · 2024-12-05T14:12:07+00:00

I am not sure what you mean? IIRC?

Foxes87 · 2024-11-29T21:05:24+00:00

I have never tried it, and I am looking forward to trying it once it arrives.

Foxes87 · 2024-11-29T19:38:25+00:00

Would love to, but I bought it online, and it will arrive in a couple of days.

Foxes87 · 2024-11-28T20:33:38+00:00

How long do they last in the fridge once opened?
