Inmate Brew tasting
So, the brew defrosted a lot quicker than it froze. Tonight is tasting night!
All in all ... I am a little ... underwhelmed ... The result is by no means unpleasant (which was always a possibility :) ) and definitely has alcohol in it - I'm guessing more than 10% but less than commercial wines at 12-13%, but it was rather ... thin seeming. I could still taste the apple and orange juice, but only just. I'm guessing that the yeast eating the sugars in the bottle didn't stop at the sugar I added and also ate up the fruit sugars, decreasing the taste.
I have seen a video on Youtube (by Craig again!) about adding back flavour after the event so I might give that a try and see how it turns out. Right now all we have in the house to try that with is Lemonade, so I gave that a go. Not exactly great but probably nicer than drinking it straight.
