Comment on What are you brewing?
plactagonic@sopuli.xyz 2 months agoLast year I didn’t make any cider. I couldn’t find apples. This year it looks better, but they are falling unripe from trees somewhere.
I hope you didn’t have to throw out too much of the mead. I usually do experiments on really small scale (

It was only a gallon. The disappointment is mostly that I won’t have a really weird drink this year.
I’ve heard cider can be made with unripe apples. Might be worth a shot.

It is, but juice from ripen apples has about 13% sugar content and I am not sure how much it will be with unripe ones. I don’t know how would it age in bottles - more acid and peptides, less sugar.
Also I will find time for it in few weeks, maybe, and they will probably pe ripen.
