Cider success

[Ken L]

I did 20L of turbo cider back in July to which I added the juice of a dozen lemons and a couple of generous heaped teaspoons of tanin and half a kilo of extra sugar. It was also primed for a slight fizz.
It was pretty harsh two or three weeks after bottling but I just cracked one and it's mellowed out. The apple flavour is back and it's one of the best ciders I've drunk.
I will definatly be doing it again.

i have one or two t/c's that i made in april/may and they have matured very well,

i have kept them as still ciders rather than carbonated... :party:

The tannin helps a great deal, but as you've found out, it needs to mature.

Sounds like I'd better get to work on greater quantities of TC so it lasts long enough to age once I have a 5 gallon fermenter free again :P
