    Turbo cider.

    Yeah, definitely makes a big difference, it was me who posted it earlier in the thread. Just wondered what your thoughts where, for me it convinced me to keep brewing T/C, at a time where i was getting pretty fed up with it's bland, sharp, appearance. I tried back sweetening, fruit ciders...

    Turbo cider.

    I generally add the entire sachet to A 20 litre brew, that returns a very medium cider, by no means dry,I did use a sachet on 15 litres recently, that was a little to sweet for me, good luck.

    Add a cider yeast with sweetener, you'll be amazed, it makes the world of difference, no sharpness at all. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cider-yeast-25L-with-sweetener-E950-8g-sachet-Medium-Dry-/161205492978?hash=item2588989cf2:g:n24AAOxyRhBS35W9

    Brewferm Abdij

    Probably the best kit i've ever brewed, left mine for 9 months before drinking, and as SteveJ has already said "it will blow you away". It's a real sin to be drinking that already, you don't know what your missing. Hide it up for a least 6 months, you won't regret it..... "I would give up beer...

    If you don't have a polish shop nearby, just to make you jealous

    How much would you use per 40 pint batch, and would you boil it before adding to the A/J and for how long ?. i'm kinda guessing you'd be aiming at the same amount per pint as if you was making a pint of squash up ?, so maybe a bottle and a half to 2 bottles ?......

    No yeast with me IPA ?

    Just been to collect my Tesco bargain bucket, no nyeast or instructions with me John Bull IPA, I'm non to concerned about the instructions as i guess it's just a standard kit, but is there any particular yeast i can use to compensate, or even improve the brew ?. "I would give up drinking...
