Seems like we've all been to Lidl today!
Got the following brew on for Mrs nicks
Strawberries and lime cider
15 liter Lidl apple juice
1 litre vimto strawberry full fat cordial
0.5 litre full fat lime cordial
2 TSP yeast nutrient
2 TSP Young's yeast
1 TSP pectolose
OG of 1050, aiming for a finish of about 1005-1010 giving about 5.5%
Both cordials boiled to get rid of preservatives and the yeast activated in some tepid water with a couple of spoons of sugar, then all bunged in the fv to do it's thing!
Didn't add a cup of tea this time, as I forgot. Will not adding tanning really make much difference? If so I can add it tomorrow I suppose.
Once brewed I'll back sweeten it with some no added sugar lime cordial (full of saccharin) to taste before bottling it. I won't be drinking this - as I don't really get berry and lime cider, so it'll be sweetened and limed according to Mrs nicks taste buds!
