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!
That looks amazing! I’m a beer guy myself but I might have to try making ciders. I don’t often see currants in the states but I might have to try harder. Out of curiosity how many currants did you use?
I am a beer guy too! But i had so much currant i had to use it. It is red and black currant maybe 50/50 and some josta berries on top but not that much. In total i used about 14kg of berries. Should yield about 60 litres but there is some already missing ???
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?

Assuming “states” means you’re in the US, there’s a reason for that: https://youtu.be/LZAk1a0dqiM
