I racked it off a week ago after it had cleared, and sweetened it to SG1015 and popped it into the airing cupboard to see whether it would have another little ferment. Nothing doing for 7 days but this morning, wonder of wonders, it was bubbling gently to itself.
Tonight I have bottled it to capture some natural fizz and in doing so I tasted some. It's bloody lovely. Seriously. It's a little "young", but it's a very nice drink, even now, and it has a very nice aftertaste. Give it a month or two to mature in the garage and I think it'll be a cracker. Ready just in time for the festive season in fact.
I genuinely can't believe it. I'm so chuffed.
Nice!! Well done James. Let's get a date in near christmas for a tasting.. Ciders, Ginger beer and bitter.. Should do for a start!
