  If it’s just apple juice, then you don’t need nutrient. Just yeast and juice.

  Yes, exactly.

  You’ll have a lower ABV, and you probably won’t be able to bottle carb.

  I’m sorry I didn’t understand any of that. Could you explain both parts?

    ABV is the alcohol content.

    Bottle carb is having it carbonated (fizzy) in a bottle.

    ABV: alcohol by volume. Assuming you’re European - but as an American, when I visited Germany, I found it was something yinz cared about less, presumably because most beers were 4.5% or 6% if it was heavy. American beer culture is much wilder, with lighter style beers ranging from 4-8% and the heavier as 6-15% sometimes as high as 20. Be careful, lol.

    Bottle carbing is a method of carbonating in a bottle
