ABV: 7.2%
Guide attenuation: 95-100%
My attenuation: 100%

Achieved: OG: 1055 FG: 1000 ABV: 7.2%

Notes: Very sour but added touch of honey on drinking and was lovely.
– Slightly under carbonated. Drunk after 2 years.
– 6Lt Tesco concentrated apple juice. No preservatives.
– 1 Darjeeling tea bag adds tannin, which helps flavour. Juice of a lime.
– TO BACK SWEETEN. ADD 5 TBS OF Xylitol PER GALLON ON BOTTLING. PROBABLY ADD TO SUGSR ON BOTTING?

Do again: Yeah. Bit sour. Will add back sweetener next time.
