This is meant as general discussion thread, so share everything related to brewing - questions, ideas, what's fermenting etc.

As discussed in my recent post here I will pin it for about a week and do another thread in a month and we will see how it goes.

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.
