Hello, and yes - Another Turbo Cider !

[BrewerBoyle]

Hi all, and thanks for the warm welcome

After reading thru the threads here about this "turbo cider" I thought I just had to give it a try. Heres what I have going so far;

1/ Thought I would start with a simple one as a control. 4.5ltr tesco value AJ with 150g white sugar. Pitched in gervin brown label wine yeast. This is chugging away like a train I'm going to prime some of the bottles differently so I can have a tasting session at a later point

2/ Got a jar of ginger in syrup (220g net) blended it fine with some AJ then simmered it for 15 mins with 6 cloves and a little cinnamon (freshly ground), added 100g sugar. Topped it up with AJ in the demi, used wine yeast again. Its going ok but slower than the first.

3/ Today, 4ltr of AJ with 340g honey and 100g of muscovado. Using youngs cider yeast with this, its started very well.

I sure hope I like this stuff, lol.

That's what I did too over a week ago, but with 4x 1ltr ALDI cheap Apple juice and 150g of corn sugar. Works out quite well! Clears REALLY quickly once fermentation is over. I'm well impressed! Enjoy!

Edit: Used Young's Ale yeast.

What is corn sugar, and where do you get it?

My latest TC has 4 litres AJ,340g of clear honey and 125grams of Muscavado sugar .......SG og 1.077

Brewed this back in late february this year and it has very little fizz even though i used 5g of granulated sugar per bottle,it is more of an apple wine as its ABV is about 10.5%

I have just rediscovered a batch I bottled back in April it's carbed nicely and when chilled down it really tastes good. A million miles away from the yeasty flat cider from the primary! Be warned at 8% it's not to be sniffed at!

What is this turbo cider, how is it classed, wine , beer, beverage?
where can I read up about, it sounds an interesting variation
I have searched recipes without luck

In the cupboard 2.84 ltr of Grape Juice and some active slurry from a Hob Goblin brew I have just put into secondary

Can I use this?

Thanks Daabs, will do

Its now been a week since I started no1 and it was bubbling at just over 1 sec for most of that, it seems to be slowing down now at once every 5 secs.

So I took a hydro reading and its 1002, so its not far away

You guys that have done this before, did you bottle straight from the fermenting demi or re-rack first? I suppose it might matter if its clear or not.

I was also wondering, if i siphon the cider out and leave the yeast in the demi could I simply add more fresh AJ straight away and restart with that yeast?
