me first TC mixed fruit!

[TheCheekyMonkey]

well decided to give one a go.

5 litre demijohn

added 1.5 litres of asda smart price apple jiuce (0.79p for 1.5 litre)
1 litre of blueberry and cranberry juice
1 litre of don simon pressed (cloudy) strawberry, pear, cranberry and blueberry juice)

300 grams of sugar (try it and see)

1 full packet of youngs cider yeast


gave it 24 hours and have now topped up with another litre of apple juice


smelt delicious and tasted fab as well not extremely sweet either.

anyway, it hasnt viciously bubbled, but a nice constant ferment.

i dissolved the sugar in a pan of boiling juice and added this to the mix, then waited 10 mins for everything to cool, then popped the yeast in , gave a shake and have left.


will post a picture when i can.

Sorry, whatever is in it, the purple concoction has nothing to do with cider, lets agree and call it 'wine', I prefer calling it 'tramp juice' but no way is that cider!

If you do not concurr, simply bring some to a west country pub for evaluation......

lol i`m not gonna argue with you over calling something a name, i`m simply saying that the majority of the juice in there is apple.

2 litres blueberry tescos juice
2 litres white grape juice (again tescos)
