the wrong apple juice ?

daisymay · Dec 9, 2018

I went to Pound stretcher today and they had some 2 litre cartons of apple juice, so I got a couple. I did not have my glasses on and it turns out they are apple juice drink, 20% juice.
Will I still be able to make anything with them ?
I have got 2 galls of the Rose from the Wurzel thread on the go, I have only done 2 kits previous to that, so how long will they bubble for, do they take much longer than a kit,
thanks.

I wouldn’t !
Get ya self down Lidl and get some 100% stuff.
It’s likely going to have additives and nasties in it. Flavour would be pants and you’d need to wack in a load of sugar !

Oh well , I'd better get to Specsavers so I can read the labels properly lol.

I would use one of the cartons of juice drink and add a litre of 100% apple juice and a litre of another 100% juice (depending on how you want the finished wine to taste) i used to make all my juice wines from two cartons of 100% juice when i first started and they were fine, i now add an extra half litre of apple juice at the start as my taste buds are not what they used to be.

Thanks, I will try that, could I use 1 ltr Pineapple juice with the apple or has one got to be grape juice ?

Works well, I've done before, so 1x aj 100%, 1x pineapple 100%, one carton of your juice drink, top up with water. Add all the sugar content up from all the juices and add more sugar to get the total you require. Eg.(900g - 1100g depending on how strong you want your wine)

Thanks, I have got that on the go now!

Check it doesn't have any artificial favouring or sweeteners in it or they could mess with it though it would still work.
