Well mine got bottled the other day and was put back in the warm bucket (24 degrees) and looks to be well on its way to be carbonated. I added a teaspoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of sweetener. Ill give it a week before I taste one. Hows yours going Matt.

I just use 100% Lidl pineapple juice from concentrate. My yeast was just Wilko's cider yeast (think it was 5g but it was the whole packet I used). I also made a starter for the yeast using sugar and a little honey I had sitting. This went nice and frothy pretty quick) Next time I brew this (if...

thought I'd comment even after 9 years lol. I have started a pineapple cider after reading about it here. Going good so far and OG was 1.055 and after 3 days and with a litre of pineapple juice still to go in, its at 1.005. I added my 4th litre after 48 hours, but as its also the same time I...

I did but when I got up the next morning a lot of the snow had melted, so now going in the cold garage. I so want to open one and drink it now. I will wait and try the last bottle (with most of the turbo in it) first next week. I will leave the rest for a month or two. Gary.

My strawberry turbo cider is still bubbling away at 1 a second after 7 days. I did add an extra 200g of sugar. Ive never had 5l of turbo cider ferment as long as this and with no end in sight. Should I syphon it into a new demijohn or wait till the fermentation id done. My summer fruits TC was...

Both the ciders are bubbling away, bought the strawberry might have slowed down, but no still a bubble a second (must have been the added sugar). These two will be racked into another demi john foe a few weeks before I bottle. I'll carb with lowicz raspberry syrup, just need to work out how much...

Hi all, i've not be on in a while, as a matter of fact I haven't brewed anything since my dad passed 3 years ago, but i'm back in with the turbo cider. Got a cheeky Vimto bottled and carbonating. put a strawberry cider on, on Monday and today a dark fruit cider. All these are in 1 gallon...

Can get some Muntons Spray Malt Light 500g from Wilko tomorrow otherwise it'll be Tuesday before I can get to innhouse brewery. Gary.

how much is some. Ta. Gary.

I brewed my Canadian blonde to 23.5l by mistake. What can I do to stop it being too thin and weak. I also pitched the yeast at the higher end of the temp scale as I couldnt cool it down with out adding more cold water making it even more diluted. Gary.

Hi, I'm brewing an Ausie coopers lager. The starting gravity was 1040, now after 9 days the Final Gravity is 1014. Its been sitting at that for a few days now. The temp started at about 24, then sat at about 22 most of the time going only as low as 20 for a bit. I short brewed this to 22l (or...

You where just fishing for compliments GM lol :cheers:

Yep its delicious now with a little sweeteners to taste. 25 odd bottles to drink over the festivities :cheers: Gary.

Well I tasted the GB and I did not like it, but im not a fan of the Crabbies stuff either. My mate loved it. Success :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The cider tasted horrible until I added some sugar to sweeten it and now it tastes great. Im happy with that. What is the bast sweetener to use again. Gary.
