I never noticed 🤪

I presume that was with 4litres of juice so 400g sugar plus 90 & 100g, so we were both at or close to 500g total sugar. I guess I could have dissolved my sugar in the juice, but at the time I only had 6 litres of juice and I wanted to get 2 DJs on, so that made the decision for me 😂

Yip that's it, then after racking and priming with a half litre of apple juice I topped up fully with water (approx 500 ml). I was worried that the water might weaken the brew but it was fine. I considered just topping up with apple juice but that would have put 100g sugar (instead of 50g)...

I primed each DJ with 500ml of applejuice which has the effect of adding 50g of sugar. Worked a treat 👍

Yeah was giving them a squeeze daily 🤪 Tried some more at 10 days and 14 days after bottling. Wow what a difference. Beautiful sparkle to the cider, with a healthy kick after a couple glasses. I'm def a Turbo Cider convert 😯 My wife has a selection of 'Skinny Syrups' which we tried out...

In wine making terms 3-4 days is pretty quick 🤪

I take it with the novatwists that after the first use, you just bin the original shroud and only use the cap ?

Or 100 for £16.20 🤔👍 https://www.brewgenie.co.uk/novatwist-wine-bottle-screwcaps4

Bottled my TC about 6 days ago. Primed both DJs with 500ml of apple juice, which equates to 50g of sugar per DJ. Also put 2 tbsp of artificial sweetener into 1 DJ. Had 4 x 1 litre bottles and 1 x 500ml bottle from each DJ. 5 days on, thought I'd try some. Started with the 2 x 500ml bottles...

I'm still using 'Clear It' that I bought Aug 2021 😯 I keep it in the fridge 👍

Both DJs dropped to 1.000 within 6 days 👍 I'm still trying to gather PET bottles so its still sitting in the DJs. I noticed that its also starting to clear. If I delay this any further am I going to struggle to generate any fizz when I prime the bottles ? Or will there still be enough yeast...

I'd add it as soon as possible. You're wine is going to ferment for 7-10 days so won't do any harm adding the tea on day 2 or 3. It def needs those tannins 👍

That's will power for you 😯

Again, I wouldn't worry about how the sediment looks as long as it has settled and the wine looks clear you should be fine. I trust the gravity was less than 1.000 ? You previously mentioned the bubbles on the surface. That's most likely just the wine naturally degassing. If the wine has...
