Yes motorbike! Been a long project... Thank, i was unaware that youngs did one. Ive lots of their other products so will give this a whirl and see how i get on.

Hello people, long time away with rebuilding bike and having another child but ready to get back on with the brewing. I wondered what others do to ensure fermentation is completely stopped before the bottling process. Im planning on doing a still sweet cider and want to add flavoring etc...

Thanks for the advice tim much appreciated. I think my plan is to make a 500ml drink with the the flavourings and water to get a rough idea as to how much needs to be added. Should be an interesting little experiment!

Get it done luffy, you will not regret it! Ive only got the 1 FV and tjats in use with a summer fruits cider as we speak and when thats done this recipe is going back on!

Sorry tim, yes you hit the nail squarely on the headi meant fruit flavours! I have noticed a difference in price and not have sugars means less hassle with carb and loss of flavour etc So my normal procedure for turbo cider is to mix all ingredient let it ferment, transfer to another vessel to...

I would say deffinately warm! I have had cider take as long as 4 months to carb up but some in as little as 2 weeks, just be patient and should be ok. I personally prefer to prime each bottle rather than the whole batch and this works well for me.

Has anyone out there got any experience of using fruit concentrates in cider recipes, and i dont mean the type on the shelves in supermarkets lowickz or whatever it is, im on about the types that would be used in food production. I have contacted a company that sell them and have been assured...

Sorry its taken so long to reply but NO i did not boil or do anything to thevridena to remove the potassium sorbate and had no issues what so ever! I read after making the brew about the issues related to preservative but i think the amount present in the recipe in comparison to the apple juice...

Hi all, Great recipe here for blackcurrant cider. Tasted today only 4 days after bottling and im amazed! 3.5/4l tesco value AJ 750ml blackcurrant ribene (sugar free) Wilko wine yeast Thats it!! I bottled after about 2 weeks and didnt rack into another DJ as last time i didnt get much fizz...

I have also found this with a TC that i did with morries AJ 4L and 500ml of strawberry ribena with some sugar. It has turned out very strong, around 9.6% and has lots almost all of the strawb taste. I have a second attempt on the go as we speak which it AJ with blackcurrant ribena (sugar free)...

Good shout davybarman didnt think of essence but still cordial must be cheaper and easier yo source but i totally agree with the experimental part, if you dont give something a go there no real way to find out and improve!

Hello, new on here so may get a conflicting opinion. I personally wouldnt add fresh lime as this would proberly ruin the asthetics of the finished product by being cloudy (although taste will not be affected). I would add a lime cordial after the secondary when you bottle and try sticking yo...

Hi all! First post on here and fairly new to homebrew. I have a pretty good basic knowledge of the cider brewing. My aim (same as many) is to produce a really fruity cider similar but not the same as bulmers no17 or kopperberg etc... My first attempt was turbo cider method using apple juice...
