How to make Turbo Cider

[nickmcmechan]

Maybe a daft question, but is this the process?

1. mix all the ingredients together (i like the sound of the one 'best turbo cider to date' thread

2. leave to ferment c. 10 days

3. should i add a campden tablet to stop fermentation at this stage (see step 5 below?)?

4. leave for 24 hours

5. bottle (use 1 tsp of sugar per bottle to get a fizzy cider)

6. leave for as long as possbile, preferrably up to 6 months

7 get hammered on a hot summers day

If you want a fizzy cider, the answer to #3 is no.

Very fizzy cider, try half.

Yes, 1 teaspoon per bottle = cider fountain!

Chuck ingredients in demijohn, up to shoulder, shake, add airlock, and ignore. When it stops going nuts, top up to the base of the neck. Mop up overspill when it goes a bit nuts again

Get a hydrometer (they'e only £3 or so from Wilko), and when the gravity stays the same for 2 days, either bottle, or better, rack into another DJ to clear for a week or two. Then bottle, 1/2 a teaspoon per bottle.
