Turbo cider sweetening question

[jotley73]

I have not made a lot of turbo cider but when I have the result is rather sharp tasting. Do they improve after a length of time and can you add a sweetener at the start of fermentation and then bottle and prime ? Cheers in advance

Yes and yes

Any idea of type and amount of sweetener per gallon please ?

My first turbo cider turned three months before it started to actually taste like real cider. I'm leaving the next one to month four before I try it again.
I used 4 tabs Cologran artificial sweetener (from Lidl) per litre to sweeten on some bottles. It worked for me, just taking the edge off the dryness without being too sweet.

Just my tuppence worth, I've always added sweeteners at the point where I prime the bottles. The amounts I use are 2tsp of sugar and 3 Canderel tablets per 1L bottle. I do like my cider sweet and fizzy, more to the point, SWMBO likes my cider sweet and fizzy.
