I have about 50l I pulled off the yeast into the final batch. My cellar only goes down to 18/19 degrees C so I fill some bottles for the refrigerator and I clears up so nicely.

Has the perfect red currant aroma, a bit sour at first but the very very fruity and full. I love it.

At about 10% alcohol, it got quite high. But mixed as a Spritz or on ice it's such a refreshing summer drink for this heat!

That looks amazing! I’m a beer guy myself but I might have to try making ciders. I don’t often see currants in the states but I might have to try harder. Out of curiosity how many currants did you use?

Assuming "states" means you're in the US, there's a reason for that: https://youtu.be/LZAk1a0dqiM

Huh I didn’t know that. Interesting!
