🍓 LAB SHEET: SUMMER FRUITS & RASPBERRY JAM CIDER — 5.5% ABV

The full Rainford's Brew Lab Lab Sheet for our Summer Fruits & Raspberry Jam Cider — a sweet, fizzy, Kopparberg-style fruit cider that's naturally carbonated in the Pinter 3 and ready to drink in around 3 weeks. This is the one for sunny afternoons, garden BBQs, and anyone who thinks homebrewing has to be complicated. It doesn't.

Inside your Lab Sheet:

✅ Full ingredient list with exact quantities and costs calculated from the Rainford Price List

✅ Step-by-step method — from warming your jam to cold crashing with the dock on for a cleaner pour

✅ The complete Rainford Scaling Table — scale from a 1L trial batch all the way up to a 25L big batch, with costs calculated at every volume

✅ Lab Notes — including why you must transfer to the Pinter 3 while still actively fermenting, the pectolase tip for a clearer pour, and why this cider needs zero back sweetening

✅ Pinter 3 cold crash guidance — Pete removed his fridge shelf specifically to nail this one, so you don't have to figure it out yourself

✅ Target ABV, OG reading, fermentation temps, carbonation dial settings, and full timing breakdown

Sweet. Fruity. Fizzy. Refreshingly simple. Shed-tested and garden-approved. Cheers! 🍺
