I assumed that Turbo Cider had its origins in http://www.hambletonbard.com/English/Ho ... _Yeast.htm. This site also says to expect FG below 1000.

Pasted quote from sagwalla's link:-

"Fermentation is over at s.g. 985 (approximately). Don't make the common mistake and assume that s.g. 1000 (0 on some hydrometers) means finished - there will be 2% more alcohol still to come! Always check s.g. and if fermentation sticks too high, there is probably a temperature problem. Have a look in our turbo yeast tips section for troubleshooting"

But I thought 1.000 was the specific gravity of water at a certain temperature and altitude. Surely you can't ferment lower than 1.000 unless you live up a mountain or the temperature is incorrect?? :huh: :unsure:

Which i will gladly own up to that it is mine :D
i never thought this recipe would end up being this popular!
:unsure: Kinda wish you hadn't now... 2 litres has given me a mighty bad head :out :stun :wacko:
Interestingly this seems to have ended up misallocated in the forum transfer. I did not create the turbo cider recipe. ;)
