The medium batch was good strength though a tad sweet. We found beautiful ruby grapefruit at the farmers market and squeezed out fresh grapefuit juice. We used 1/3 cup per bottle, 1/2 tbsp sugar to make 10 bottles of grapefruit.
The large batch was good strength but also on the sweet side. We used 1/3 tbsp sugar and made 13 bottles.
The grapefruit was pulled after 3 days and was not explosive. It was on the sweeter side so will used 1 tsp sugar next time if the batch is sweet.
The medium batch was on the sweet/weak side. We used fresh strawberries and raspberries and pureed and added 1/3 cup plus 1 tsp sugar and made 10 bottles.
The large batch was also on the weak/sweet side. We made 13 bottles with 1 tsp sugar.
We pulled the straw-raspberry at 2 days and it ok – slow eruption but manageable.
Large batch was strong and slightly sweet but not too vinegary. We wanted to try something different so we added 1 tsp chopped fresh mint leaves, 1/3 cup blended thawed frozen pineapple and 1/2 tbsp sugar. We made 10 bottles.
The medium batch was strong as well and we made 12 bottles using 1/2 tbsp of sugar.
We pulled the first pineapple at 2 days and it had a pop with some decent fizz. The rest were refrigerated at 2 and a half days and with the additional half day bottles were started to ‘erupt’ more.
