Homemade rose ciderini
Ingredients per 7 L of the sparkling drink:
- floral mix
- acidity regulator
- cider yeast Sweet
- wine yeast nutrient
- 1 kg of sugar
- 7 L of water
recipe:
1. Pour 2 litres of hot water on the flowers, for best extraction possible. After 24 hours, pour the resulting brew (liquid only) into a min. 10 L carboy.
2.Make sugar syrup out of 0.8 kg of sugar and 3 l of water (boil sugar with water, gather the foam) and once it cools down, add it to the carboy with the brew. Complete the carboy with remaining water. To that mixture, add the Sweet yeast, the nutrient, and the acidity regulator (3 packets). Seal the carboy with a cork and a fermentation lock with water, put away the whole set for about 14 days of fermentation.
3. After that time, decant the still fermenting must from the sediment* (can be filtered through gauze folded in half, or a filtration sack).
4.Prepare appropriate 0.5 L bottles, like the beer variety, with matching caps or screw caps, PET type - all must be resistant to pressure, because they will be withstanding accumulation of gas (CO2).
5.Pour the brew into the bottles**, adding two spoons (approx. 8 g) of sugar per every litre. Seal the bottles well for 2-3 days of carbonation in room temperature.
6. After that time, place them in a cold space (at below 13°C) or a fridge.
We recommend that Ciderini from this recipe is consumed within 10-15 days - it's when it tastes best, particularly served appropriately cold.
* While decanting, the taste of the brew can be adjusted, by acidifying or possibly sweetening, once it's completely attenuated.
** Before bottling, check sugar content in the fermenting must with a saccharimeter. If it's below 3 Blg, sweeten in accordance with the recipe. At above 4 Blg, decrease sugar to 7 g, above 5 Blg - to 6 g, and analogously with values higher than that.
If the Ciderini isn't sweet enough, then rather than adding fermentable sugar (which could cause excessive CO2 accumulation and damage the bottles), you can sweeten the brew already in the bottles, using Xylitol - a sweetener leaving no negative aftertaste.
Enjoy!
...for it's better when made at home!
