Made this yesterday.
4.5 lts of Lidl's Vitafit 100% apple juice (142.5g per 1.5ltr carton), 1/2 tsp of wilkcos yeast nutrient as I thought this juice would need the extra nutrient this has. An extra 300g of sugar dissolved in warmed apple juice and 2 tea bags for extra tannin as the juice looked a bit pale. A sprinkle Harris premium yeast.
Only added 3.75 ltrs, will gradually top up with the reminder of juice from tommorow to avoid airlock blow.
Started fermenting within ten min's.
Not fussed on adding flavouring, as have a couple of wow's I'm not keen and want to use to top up cider in the glass.
