The one with hops needs another month in bottles - it smells amazing but it still has too much bitterness. I don't know why it is noticeably darker and why it makes foam like beer.

The one with spices tastes too much like Christmas (I just don't know how to describe it better). So it is good but not exactly the season for it. I can imagine it will be good with some Christmas cookies or something like that.

I like more the Christmas one (because it is ready to drink now), my boss on the other hand likes more the hopped one. (Yes I drink at work)

I am excited for the batch with oak chips and the basic cider, which I will probably taste next week.

My reply to you doesn't appear for me on Lemmy (this is posted from my mastodon account).

So here it is for the others:

yes, if you want to know more: https://mstdn.dk/@EvilCartyen/113198511530283716

It is much better resource than what I wrote on Lemmy year ago. He also writes about what you can add. In my case I make cider from whatever apples I can get my hands on.

I think that it is temporary mastodon problem, I can't view anything on that instance.

I posted the link here few days ago - https://www.carstenboll.dk/how-to-make-home-made-cider/
