That rather depends on what you're doing at the moment. How are you making your cider now?

Most Supermarket AJs are around the 1044 mark, but we still need to know exactly what you did!
Saying you made strawberry cider in a 5gal bucket is a tad uninformative. :wha:

Is it one of those Magnum kits? I've still got a strawberry cider kit in the cupboard that I've yet to make. You could try a Turbo Cider (TC) there's many versions of it on this forum, just do a search, my best was blueberry cider using tesco apple juice and blueberrys mashed up in it with a bit of pectalase and tannin chucked in for good measure.

You can drink it until you fall over, then the next night drink vodka until you fall over, there must be some way of estimating the % from that :rofl:

I seem to remember my Magnum Pear Cider kit :sick: started at about 1035 so if it's about the same and it's now down to 1000 then that makes 4.6% according to the forum calculator.
