patience is not one of my pros...
I've opened the bottle, tasted it and measured the density
Aroma is nice, fermented liquid, no contamination, not vinegar aroma, few alcohol aroma. Good!
Taste is nicer than expected! Seems to have low alcohol, not as sweet as expected, so good for me I like dry beverages, a lot of bubbles (maybe too much), better than some ciders you can buy in the supermarket. I used a 0.53€/liter apple juice (of course not the best brand in the market :mrgreen: ) so I expect better results using better apple juice or natural apple juice.
Alcohol... the new density measurement gives me 1035-1040, but it is quite difficult to measure due to the bubbles that are pushing up the densimeter. According to online calculators it is something like 2.5 to 3.5%. For a real measurement I should remove the bubbles... but I t prefer to drink it
I'm very happy with my purchase!
Next batch... Red grape juice! Also a cheap one to make the first tests (les than 1€ per liter).
I also bought 1 liter of Muscat grape juice to make a fashion moscato wine
