That’s awesome! I did some really tannic crabapples this year that came out at 17 brix ish/1.070 sg, so hoping that turns out great, but only got a little under 4 liters.

For anybody who might wonder, those are medium toast American oak spirals in there. It was mostly feral or dessert apples, with about 10% crabapples, so I thought it could use some tannins. OG was like 1.046 (short growing season this far north).

Thank you! Just have to wait for the apples now.. 2 weeks or so and I can finally start getting some.

Lol, nobody is killing you for $25 worth of commissary in a female low. She’s lying, like usual.

Cider is 100% the goal! Kronebusch is a newer MN native bittersweet. We’ll have to see if it produces next year or not. The other two are older, but the Kronebusch is on a smaller rootstock.
