Long time no post , or long time no brew should I say. Not brewed in months n months.
Only thing I've gained from this is the fact I found out brews Defo taste better with age.

Coming of the end of that tho supplies are running low so back to it. Managed to throw this together really quickly the other night

600ml of apple and blackcurrent squash
200g sugar
50ml blackcurrent lowicz
25ml cherry lowicz
25ml strawberry lowicz
Mug tea
Super yeast compound
Nutrient
Topped up with water

As easy as that looking for about 4% and with a SG of 1.025 should all be good [emoji108]🏼

Few days later and it's bubbling away

I know a lot of people haven't had much luck from this but mines have all been good drinkable stuff. So hoping this will follow cheap as chips to do nothing to lose

Now just to find the time to throw some ciders together [emoji106] keep you posted
 
Wee update racked it off the yeast cake and let it sit for an hour while I sorted out another brew (clues in the picture [emoji6]) ,washed the DJ and re racked into glass DJ to leave it sitting to clear [emoji108]🏼 taste great if am honest

This is Defo a good un ! It's crystal clear now and tastes pretty good considering its lidls own squash once bottled rough cost will be about 10p a bottle. Makes it a good um never mind the taste which is spot on for 4%

Got a night out tomorrow so I'll prime and bottle on sat/sun , planning on priming with blackcurrent lowicz will be bottling in to 330ml bottles so should get 14/15 I guessing that's about 90ml of syrup to get roughly 5g each bottle of priming sugar
 
Long story short here she is bit rough looking bit of a rush just but as in experiment it's all good , tastes good and easy to drink at 4% and clear as a whistle [emoji1362]
