Somewhere around 10>14 days depending on a few things

the bit in bold from Turbo cider recipe and if you are planning the wine recipe then wait till its finished fermenting, could be up to a month if conditions aren't good.then rack, stabilise, degass, clear and bottle.
Maybe the 3 litres of apple juice watered it down enough to make it ferment further, having also tried and failed i dont believe boiling makes any difference to the preservative but if anyone wants to prove me wrong go for it.
good point, a Vimto TC might work OK, although this one (up above) is for Vimto wine, so similar quantities that I as trying for my punch stuff
1 in 4 cordial to water...
I'll watch and see.... still a risk with 25L though, maybe it's time to get a DJ for experimental purposes !
I'm currently doing a summer fruits hooch using squash and it smells amazing it's defo on the cards to try the same method just rolling boiled with just 3 cartons of AJ , then primed with 500ml . I think it will give a great tasting cider Roddy, you should go for it [emoji106]

I'm currently doing this have had it in the dj since Sunday and it is bubbling away nicely I will leave it till the 10- 15 days live has been said before and then check it and probably change it to another dj how would you stabilize this and what's the best way to degas this sorry this is the first wine that I have made
Use fermentation stopper which you can buy from home brew shops, degas by either covering the neck of the DJ with your hand then shaking the DJ and releasing the CO2 or using a drill and degassing wand, see the how to forum to make one.

When it is finished, rack off the sediment into a clean dj, add a crushed campden tablet and 1 tsp of potasssium sorbate (stabiliser) then degas as chippy says either by hand or with a degassing wand, then leave to clear naturally or if you cannot wait (or if it is not clearing itself after a week or so) then you can add a fining agent to clear it.
If you want to drink it as soon as you can add the finings after you have degassed and stabilised, if you can get hold of Kwik clear or Young's clear it It should be ready in 48 hours.
