I got tipped off by curious brew a couple of months ago that sainsburies were doing buy 1 get 2 free on princes...i emptied the shelf!.
Made the best ever TC ive had...still got 3ish pints left in barrel...clear as a bell, and.....i used safeale yeast which i was very happy with results!.
Added just 1 jar of honey and 1KG of whitworths...
It was and is the best brew of everything i ever made - worthy of a £20 beer kit imho...
Never will i do DJs again and puny amounts...you cant go wrong if you catch these offers and with Xmas coming up...theyll be on again soon

Can I just ask, why the honey?

Is it just to leave some sweetness behind after fermentation?
I personally like very dry cider

I like the honey aftertaste and it does add a lot of body to what I think is quite a 'thin' drink if its just AJ

[monkeyb0y]

Hi...yes as geezah says...it does make it more of a fuller flavour...and even thou it wasn't a large jar...believe me, you can taste the honey flavours even in 40 pints of aj...
It's very worth while trying a small batch with honey...you will not be disappointed.
I would recommend trying safeale04 as well...its odd I know but it worked for me.

Thing is, I don't like honey

How much 'after taste' does it give?
Suppose I could put a minimum in to try for a bit more body without the taste?

Yuk....

It would be great if we could get hold of commercial quantities of apple juice concentrate, not just the half litre health food shop stuff.

All ASDA,Lidl,etc... budget juice is made from concentrate, where can we buy the same in reasonable amounts?

try cobells i dont know how much is a minimum order thoughhttp://www.cobell.co.uk

every one of them buggers get their juice from these boys

On the subject of TC cost,

I went into good old Lidl's last Thursday to buy up some AJ for a big 60ltr TC brew this weekend just gone.

lovely blond haired EE girl on the checkout and a bit of a queue. As I got to the till I clearly said "I have 40 of these" and gave her 1 carton of AJ.

She replied "14" To which I said "No, 40".

I then paid up the grand total of £11.46 for 40 cartons of AJ and 2 bags of sugar. The lovely young girl had still only rang in 14 cartons. It's not as though I did anything to hide the cartons and I said it loud enough for half the store to hear me.

Happy days
