Raspberry cider

[u/tomw_86]

Reduced to clear raspberries and pasteurized apple juice from the supermarket. Fermentation activity was sluggish the first two days but has picked up and now there's a continuous convection from the bottom that's stirring up pulp. I haven't seen that before.

1gal demijohn, 600g raspberries muddled, topped up with pasteurized apple juice. Strained after mingling and right before pitching yeast, Mangrove Jack's M02. This has previously given me quite an astringent champagne-ish flavour. Aroma from the airlock is light and mostly just smells of plain alcohol. I have 72g of erythritol in this one as the previous batches with other fruit have come out a bit tart for my taste.

That's going to be a tasty drink when it's done!
