I opened the small plastic bottle I had in the picture to night out of curiosity and my oh my

Basically clear , decent fizz and great sweet taste

In all honesty 10 / 10 it's chapping on the back doors of supermarket cider

Had a few friends over last night and the wanted to try the homebrew out to be honest 3 out of 4 could be doing with more conditioning but the still tasted dam good

There was also a fair few bottles of the squash punch tanned as well so was a fairly good turn around
 
Glad to hear yours is going down well Mrc,

The stepsons girlfriend tried my Rasp TC and said it was a bit lacking in flavour but after adding a couple oi capfuls of lowicz syrup she likes it and says its better than lidl taurus cider which she drinks quite a bit of, so it looks like it will get drunk and gives me a base to experiment from but it needs more flavour and sweeter.

You should definitely give the squash version a try that's sweet and tastes really fruity [emoji106]
 
3.5l of AJ (farmfoods)
750ml of morrisons own summer fruits squash (boiled over for ten mins)
Mug of tea
2tsp malic acid
1tsp pectalose
1/3 of a packet of sweetened yeast

Then batch primed with

30ml of raspberry syrup
35ml of cherry syrup



There ya go mate [emoji106]
 
Just wondering how those who have used it rated the "yeast with sweetener", ?.....



Cheers.........
 
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, etc, and they never really did it for me, now using this type of yeast and experimenting for a few years now, i find i am producing cider to a pretty good standard, most friends, work pals, etc, who have tried it are pretty much agreed, it's very very drinkable, and maybe sale-able too (but that's for another day).......
Anyway good luck, and i hoped it's improved your T/C's.

hi.those that have done t/c have you added a clearing agent or do they clear themselves.if they clear themselves how long?.I've done 1 about a week ago and no sign of clearing!!!
 
I usually bottle straight after fermentation is finished leave in the warm for about a week to carb up and then move to somewhere cold and the clear out on there own within a few days

Sure that's how most people do it tbh

I notice you say it was bland. That's how I described my first cider. I'm only on the second batch now and I think this one is better, but still not convinced. I found the sharpness went after a few weeks and I was more than happy with the appearance of mine.

I have now bought some Malic Acid and I'm going to buy Glycerin before I start on the next one. I'm hoping this will make the next one a bit better. Personally I like the cider dry as so I'm not in a hurry to change yeast.
 
Opened a couple of bottles to try my first Turbo-cider at Christmas, but they had only been conditioning for about two weeks.
I found it quite sharp and not quite to my taste - I like it a bit sweeter and smoother but my daughter's boyfriend (who is a cider drinker) thought it was quite good and took a couple of bottles!
My sister-law likes it if I added some more Lowicz fruit syrup to it at the pour.
I will leave it for a few more weeks to condition, but it shows how we all like different tastes.
This is quite an easy brew to make, so I would like to get it geared to my palette for future brews. :geek:
