Re: Chinotto
Ok...I've now had a couple of litres of this drink. It is very bitter, in a good way, but under-sweetened, as I previously mentioned. Now, when I pour myself half a litre, I add a packet of mixed stevia/dextrose. It's equivalent to 2 packets of sugar. That brings it just inside the edge of balance...but I like bitterness in drinks.
All in all, I think I'll eventually do it again, but maybe with regular oranges, and certainly more sweetener.

Re: Chinotto
I just had chinotto in Italy. Very nice and bitter. A bit like fizzy watered-down Campari. I'm quite keen on getting my hands on a few chinotto oranges for brewing id I can. Distinctive and very different from the bitter Sevilla oranges I grew up with.
