So, in a frantic bid to make something for the February competition.. and yes I know it's late !

I've thrown together a mix of 4l:

Grape, Pomegranate , Raspberry , Apple Juice.

A bit of citrus and a few raisins for more body.

Red bush and Yorkshire Tea.

And the old favourite cider yeast with sweetener !

Fingers crossed [emoji106]

Will top to 5l when I know she won't explode !

How much cider yeast with sweetener did you put in a 5L batch? Have seen the packs on ebay for 23L brews but worry about under pitching or over sweetening a small demijohn batch...

Have also considered adding raisins but haven't been adventurous enough!!

Will eagerly await your results... :lol:

Well... two batches mate being greedy.

I've been buying 25l sachets from eBay ( a Roddy Pointer) so in Batch 1 = divided by 5. In batch 2 the whole lot !

Blimey - after 1 night in she's foaming like a frenzied nun ! I fear a blow out by the time I get home !

Bottled up last night. High hopes as berry flavour good so hope carbs up. Only down side was the blobs ! A little murkier on bottling than normal but should clear in bottle.
Added teaspoon of sugar.

Mmmm. Couldn't resist the temptation of an early bottle tonight.
Pomegranate definitely coming through and what feels/tastes like an underlying raisin sweetness.
A little young - a day in the fridge killed the big bubbles but definitely has gas !
Will sample again towards end of next week for competition worthiness [emoji79]
