So a quick question if I make a batch that turns out to be say 9% can I just add more apple juice when bottling to reduce this or would that make it ferment too much in bottle. Thanks
that'll just add more ABV, if you're having it fizzy (ie not stabilising it)..
I think the only way to reduce ABV is to add volume without sugar, so water, in other words, but you'll sacrifice some flavour obviously :-(
I say just drink it and put it down to experience (or fall down to experience hehe) :mrgreen:

Ok so Better would be remove extra sugar at start and ferment to lower then bottle with syrup for fizz which will give both carbonation and an increase in abv correct?
8/9% is a cheap night [emoji23][emoji23]
I'll be looking to lower my ABV in my next one !
Idea right now is cinnamon and ginger for Xmas and just prime with sugar
Got a question for you seasoned Brewers tho I work away for two weeks at a time, so say I make a batch just before I leave and let it ferment while I'm away with the aim to prime and bottle once home. Would it be okay sitting even if it's finished fermenting in like 9/10 days or with it get a rotten taste ?

it's been OK to leave it for a bit in my (limited) experience anyway ðŸËÆ
yeh just start with the AJ, if it's all AJ and no water, you'll have nearly 6% abv already (when it finishes to 1.000)
If you like it weak, add some water in and serve in a tall glass with some little umbrellas ðŸË⦠and your pinkie out ðŸËÆ

Cheeky f........ Lol
Not against strong stuff but daughter and Missus also drink it and just don't like it so strong.
Could always take up drinking shandy I guess lol

I think only in keg with co2 as stabilising kills yeast. Might be wrong
what he said (apart from the might be wrong bit) :thumb:

Just copied rasp turbo recipe. Whole family agrees smells delicious.

65ml like you suggested [emoji106]
Hopefully turn out good, looks and tastes good for first attempt, intrigued in how to do a strawberry and lime one, I had to polish off two bottles last night you see and it got me thinking I know I can get strawberry syrup but the limes [emoji53]
