just an update started drinking this brew a few days ago. i think it tastes awesome,not to fizzy and a bit of a apple after taste oh yeh ,and potent :icon_drool2: thanks again for all your replys

thanks for all your replys i think i will follow manticle suggestion "You can add the juice now and let it ferment right out - then there will be no bottle bombs" so after fermenting out i rack it bottle it,but do i still use carbonation drops as per ussaul?? i think i do but just wanna check

After fermenting is done if i add 1lt water ,2lt juice which will add 206gm of sugar do u think this will drop the alcohol content and prime my bottles??
