Evening all....

Inspired by pvt_uk's ravings I took the notion to put on some Blueberry cider

Ingredients
16L asda smart price apple (55p pl)
6L asda Blueberry drink (�£6)
1L strong tea
5tsp pectolase
Sachet of cider yeast with sweetener (ebay)

Method
Bung all the juice into a 27L fv
And tea....
Top up to 25L with boiling water
Temperature 18deg (Blueberry was chilled )
Sg 1.040
Throw in the yeast
Pop in cupboard for the magic to happen

Est abv 6% when fermented out to 1.000 and primed with 300g sugar solution

Happy days

SG tidily down to 1.000 😀

Tastes alright, will be quite light and refreshing I think, blueberry isn't the strongest of flavours I guess 😃

Have to wait until I've bottled my Strawberry wow before I can prime and bottle this one... waiting for kwik clear to be delivered for my wow 😕

One for the summer BBQ then ?
I think the strawberry lime TC with that cider yeast is the one to beat. That your favourite TC ?

Well maybe a few weeks anyway 😀

I should just throw a few boxes of these one in the loft, too easy to access being under my stairs haha

Yeah, the S&L is a cracker, having my second last bottle just now... sniff

Sediment has packed down nicely so only need to leave the last 5mm in the bottle to get a crystal clear pour.. yum

Kwik clear came today :) with a following wind, I'll have the WOW cleared and bottled, and the Blueberry TC primed and into bottles by the weekend

Another week before the big unveiling then Roddy - the excitement of this Blueberry creation is killing me [emoji23]

I put a 5l batch of this on last Friday - just done an SG and it's 1.002. That's fermented in super quick time.
Had a taste and it is quite nice isn't it. Very subtle on the Blueberry but nice and fresh.
Will bottle up on Saturday.
