About a month I picked up this raspberry wine base. Gonna use it twice today.

1/2 of it is going into a cider. So nothing fancy. Just store bought apple juice, and some cider yeast.

Gravity on the cider going in was 1.084. With no added sugar, that was a bit surprising.

Next up I threw all my left over grains together and came out somewhere in between a dunkle and a bock. OG of the beer was 1.058. with the rest of the Raspberry base it hit 1.080

Kinda worried though about the amount of raspberry in the beer. That’s only about 2 qts in the carboy. Buy when I used some hot wort to rinse the jug out and poured it back into the kettle,, I could already taste raspberry just from the rinsed out bit in the full batch.

Well we will see.
