Thanks for this - its a brilliant recipe. I made a 25l batch thinking it would last the week that my son and his fiancee were visiting. We demolished half of it on their first night. I've been to Lidl already to buy apple juice and will start another batch today :)

Sticking a little - definitely need better kit here.

Tastes a little bit sweet. Wouldn't describe it as very sweet.

Roger that :)

And here we are with the brew.

Cheers Baron. Here's the hydrometer with tap-water. Looks normal to me but happy to take the views of those more clued-up than me.
