hi all - hope you don't mind the bump? got the same kit - settled at 1.10 - would finnings help drop out the still floating yeast that's about?

well - as an update its all brewed nicely! went to 1 from 1.070 and flavoured with white grape and elderflower in the end. yes its strong but a sweetenss as well , really quite drinkable in moderation

still @ 1.010 4 days later - time to bottle I guess

I`ll leave till Thursday then - but the reading of 1.01 seems high to me? thought it would go to 1 or lower

been brewing for 10 days - still a sulphar smell from mine (and tasted sweet) and a reading of 1.010? leave it to carry on?

wanted a peach flavour - so what do you suggest?

aye it`ll be fizzy - but the syrup my friend has has 88g of sugar per 100ml - currently if it goes to 1 - then it`ll be weighing in at 10%! so why stop secondary? want to add some sweetness / flavour back in as I'm using champagne yeast

didn't use 4 bags in the end - used 2 , along with the inbuilt sugar of the tesco value AJ , came in at 1.08 OG. will flavour with some French peach syrup a friend brought over now to stop secondary fermentation - been advised to use potassium sulphate? is that right?

lol! haven't actually got the copella yet - so maybe some much cheaper stuff would be better lol

I was lead to believe lalvin was for high ABV? - btw its just a challenge by a work mate - blow my socks off cider ;) , personally I wouldn't but he said I couldn't do it lol (I usually make beer not cider)

again thank you! so I need 1/2 kg dextrose to make it approx. 1.050OG for 20 litres how would I work out potential OG for 4kg of dextrose? also was thinking of flavouring with elderflower cordial ?

thank you for the replies! sugar in the coppella is 9.8g/100ml (hence adding extra) ; will it brew dry? wanting a more medium one?

Heya all Am looking at brewing my first `turbo` cider - plan is for 20 litres of copella apple and elderflower juice (from Tesco - its rather tastey lol) I also have 5g of Lalvin EC-1118 (is that enough?) and have some dextrose (1kg) do I need anything else? or just a case of rehydrate...
