Afternoon peeps
Popped on an apple and cherry type brew, probably almost too light on AJ to call it a cider.... but I wanted to keep the abv reasonable enough to down a few and not fall over ðŸËâ
Ingredients
12L Lidl vitafit AJ
4 x 440ml Lowicz cherry syrup (400ml for priming)
1L strong tea (5 bag)
5tsp pectolase
Sachet of cider yeast with sweetener from eBay
Method
Chuck in AJ
Chuck in cherry syrup
Chuck in pectolase dissolved in a cup of warm water
Chuck in tea
Top up with cold tap water to 25L
Take SG reading: 1.040
Sprinkle on yeast, put lid on
Stick in the cupboard, temp 22 degrees, perfect
Estimated abv when fermented down to 1.000 and including priming sugar - 5.95% ðŸËâ¬
Bad news is the seal on the tap assembly is perishing a bit, was a bit leaky on my last wow, but managed to soften it with a little vaseline so it'll hopefully do this one without letting any out !
Next FV will be without a tap, I only used the tap latterly for taking samples anyway so no big shakes
