I have about 50l I pulled off the yeast into the final batch. My cellar only goes down to 18/19 degrees C so I fill some bottles for the refrigerator and I clears up so nicely.

Has the perfect red currant aroma, a bit sour at first but the very very fruity and full. I love it.

At about 10% alcohol, it got quite high. But mixed as a Spritz or on ice it's such a refreshing summer drink for this heat!

Awesome, thanks for the info! I guess gooseberries and currants are a tiny industry here in the states so it might be tough for me to get some, but I’ve had both when I was in Poland and now I’m starting to think of trying to get some for a beer. Have you ever tried making a gooseberry or currant sour beer?

I only tried cider because it does not need any heat whatsoever. But you planted the seed and i want to try some beers in the future!
