Turbo cider

The recipe I'm following has malic acid in it but I was thinking of adding Bramley apples for flavour would there still be the need for the malic acid? or is it a case of one or the other?

ok thanks athumb..

It's been a very long time since Iv'e done any brewing and thought I'd start up again with a TC and have a recipe to follow but my question is this is the SG taken before any additional fruit such as Bramley apples are added,or is everything added to the Fb then the sg reading taken. Thanks

Done 2x 23 ltr batches of turbo cider and although they're still young I have had no adverse reaction to using this no rinse solution.

Has anybody done a comparison of Aldi's Del Rivo and Rio Doro aj when making TC?

finished fermenting after 7 days now been bottled and developing carbonation.

Thanks HB at last an answer to my question.I've scoured the "net" and quite a few people use this method without any problems.I too would have been sceptical if hadn't have come from Charley Talley's own lips.

Thats not homebrew specific sanitising.For NO RINSE sanitising then see my figures above.

Well it's still going if now slow just wasn't sure if it should slow down so soon after going like a steam train.I have a hydrometer so i will be able to look for 2 days of same readings. Thanks for your replies.

I'm currently brewing Fermentall's turbo cider recipe ( used spray malt instead of sugar) and not sure if everything is going ok.First day after pitching yeast nothing happened,put it down to room not warm enough so moved it to small warm cupboard ,2nd day started to fermenting,3rd and 4th day...

working on the figures given in podcast 1oz of vinegar and bleach in 5 gallons of water it actually is closer to 25ml of each for 20 ltr of water.

I have no Idea what the vinegar brings but this solution is a no rinse way of sanitising. edit vinegar acidifies the solution

You have to make sure the bleach is diluted with water first before adding the vinegar.
