So I threw this one together over the holidays an apple and pomegranite turbo cider!
Ingredients were:
3 x 1ltr tesco eveyday value apple juice
1 x 1ltr pomegranite juice
150g or so of Sugar
1 tsp youngs super yeast
2 nutrient tablets
1/2 tsp tannin
1/2 tsp mixed acid
1/2 tsp pectolase
Water to 4.5l
Stabiliser added at sg 1.00 and degassed. Finings added 3 days later and its been clearing for about a week.
It got clear enough on the top for me to draw off a sample tonight, and this is lovely stuff indeed, I'm well pleased with it. Its got a bit of a strange nose, but a real pomegranite flavour. I think it would get even better slightly carbonated and well chilled. I'll probably drink this batch still but will do another and carbonate and age it.
Question is can I carbonate it in 2ltr juice bottles or would I be better going glass and getting a bottle capper?
