- There's a ton of ways to flavor your home brewed cider, but one way I've never tried is by using dried fruit. Today I'll make a Strawberry Kiwi cider using only dried fruit, including freeze dried fruit, and the results are interesting...

Who wants more cider vids? OR what kind of other fermentations would you love to see?
More ciders and hard lemonades
Ciders and if you want a challenge Mead. Just made my third batch of mead and 1 gallon of kiwi strawberries mead(apple blossoms honey)
Is amazing!!!! That was batch #2
Definitely more cider, maybe some mead/ a session mead. And if you ever get more time you should upload more I love your vids. Always get happy when I see a new upload
Definitely more cider videos. Ciders are a kind of interesting product as they are a lot easier to make than most think and can be flavored and spiced up in so many different ways. They're a great entry point to fermentation for a lot of people. Also, a great way to get rid of all those frozen fruit you've been saving for your smoothies for the past 5 years and are just about to use once you get back into smoothies any day now.
more cider why not try some wacky fruits
Your channel deserves way more views! Thank you for this video. xx🌻
That's a really clever idea! Well done!
Kiwi and Strawberry is one amazing combo of the cider!
I would love to see someone like you to do mix with Strawberry but with Lemongrass, Blood Orange and Kaffir Lime Leaves!
Great video! I've been experimenting with various fruits but haven't tried dried (didn't even think of that one). Frozen mango chunks blitzed into a pulp and added to the apple juice. Also 1 ltr of pure pomegranate juice added to 5ltr of apple juice was nice. But the best effect I've found is dry-hopping whilst the cider is actively fermenting to get that bio-transformation going. I found this gives a perceived sweetness and somehow boosts the fruit flavour too.
I love hopped cider! Will have to try mixing it with some fruit, that’s a good idea
Bro!! Same thing I've been doing to my ciders!! It's wonderful isn't it!!! It gives off different fruit flavors and makes the cider taste more beer like too!! Love it!! Any hop ideas!? I liked mosaic but can't really go wrong!!
@Gage spence I've had great results using Harlequin. Amarillo is a good choice too.
I know next to nothing about ciders, so this was definitely an interesting watch!
Also are you accepting applications for the kiwi squad I would like to join 🥝
Consider yourself a member! 🥝😎
Yum! That looks dam good.
Thanks buddy!
Flavor combo looks amazing! 😋
Never even thought about dehydrated fruit! Another great video and really nice looking shots 😍
Thanks man!
Sounds delicious Trent! Another spot on video, cheers!
Cheers Brian!
killer video braj! Thanks!
Thank you Braj! 🍻
Really Enjoyed Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠
this looks good
Good Combo for a cider, I might try it soon, cheers Trent 🍻🍻
Thanks man, it sure is a classic combo!
Do you have a preference to adding fruit upfront in the primary fermentation or adding after racking to secondary? What are the pros and cons for fruit in primary? I don't keg so I would be bottle carbonating.
Since you bottle I would say just do it all in primary. I tend to like to add it later since you can preserve some of the delicate flavors (especially if you stabilize) but if you can’t do that then you’ll still get great results with it all in primary.
Air dried vs freeze dried, I believe there is more carmelization of the sugars with dehydrated because they are slightly “cooked” in the process.
Ok thats good to know!
Can you please make a video where you create a fruit lambic? I’ve been desperately looking for a recipe that is easily explained.
I used omega sundew yeast in a cider and the flavor profile I ended up with is awesome. Gave it a tropical fruit punch flavor with the apple.
Oh that was a great idea, haven’t tried that yeast yet but wanting to
@@TheBruSho Ive wanted to try both the sundew and bananza. My local shop doesnt carry them but northern brew does and I took advantage of the cold weather and ordered them. Fermentation of my bananza nutty brown ale is about done, hopefully that turns out like Im hoping also.
@AlbeeSoaring I've done exactly that beer once! I use a little bit of nutmeg and vanilla... and don't be afraid to chop up a brown banana and throw it in before you keg it! Not too brown though!
@Gage spence good to know. So I'm guessing the banana yeast didn't give off much banana flavor? I was debating on putting cinnamon stick and maple extract in the keg. I'm going to put in secondary tonight so it sounds like I need to grab some bananas.
@AlbeeSoaring yeah! Well I didn't have access to a killer yeast that could do the banana flavor..might want to see how that goes before adding the banana! Might not need it!! If the yeast is really that good at banana flavor!!
I just boil the fruit in water I use to get the flavour and then leave it there during fermentation.
Is that bad?
Nope that is totally fine!
How to prevent infection with dried fruits?
I don't think its a real concern, the yeast should outcompete anything on the fruit and the sugars in it will keep the yeast fed and happy
How much do you think using dehydrated/freeze dried fruit translates to a lager, or beer in general? Opposed to frozen or fresh fruit?
My air fryer changed my life.
game changer for sure! don't even need an oven any more
First. Also I’d love to see you use crystallized fruit from northern brewer
Oh yeah I forgot about that stuff, haven’t seen what kind of variety they have
Rhino farts ...
You know it when you smell it haha 😅
What do you use to back sweeten the cider with??? I use more apple juice most of the time.. after I stabilize of course! That way I can get a little more drink at a little lower ABV🤔🫡
Depends, I don't always backsweeten since I prefer it more dry and tart. But I've used apple juice concentrate (the frozen can stuff) before and it works great. Or just other juice/fruit.
