This is a 1.7 kg kit containing 46% juice, bought for £9 in last years Jan sale. Best before April 2015 so no issues there.
Chucked the supplied yeast and nutrient away. These kits are supposed to be a bit thin, so brewing very short to 10 litres with lalvin EC-1118 left over from cider making. This yeast has a low nutrient requirement and is a good fermenter at lowish temperatures. Added juice from 4 lemons. Stirred in enough sugar to get an SG of 1.090. Aiming for 12% gluggable, not rocket fuel.
Will let you know how I get on.
