    Milk Stout

    http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-raisins-sultanas-and-currants-223285 So, I've only been making turbo cider for a few months. I used tea bags for the tannin in all of the ones I've done. In the last couple I've done I've used raisins as a yeast nutrient. Whether or not a...
