Trying something perhaps a bit adventurous for my first ever non-beer kit brew but wanted to run this idea past the experts before I begin!
Just making a 5l demijohn and have 4l of apple juice from concentrate (no preservative) a pile of strawberries I intend to make up the demijohn to 5l, and some chilli. Planning to use some of my dried ancho chillis, rehydrated, as they aren't too spicy (3/10 rating) and add a rich red colour to anything its added to.
Should I bother with any tea for the tannins in this?
I had thought to ferment with the natural sugars, and then sweeten to taste after fermentation. Do I need extra sugar at the start?
(sorry for all the noob questions!)
