Last night i opened a bottle of my latest brew....
4.5 litres aldi apple juice
1 lite aldi cloudy pear juice
200 grams sugar
harris super yeast
it was in the demijohn for a week and the bottle for a week....
Best drink i've ever had...
Came out at about 10%
I will never buy cider from the supermarket again
I have 3 demijohns on the go now....
Turbo cider tart...

Prozac
you spurred me into having a go myself....
Started 2x gallons yesterday just using Allinsons bread yeast....
They are working like mad now!!! blipping through the airlock at about 1 per second
No froth which is a good thing.
I tried a bottle of my Youngs cider last night ..... a bit thin and young yet but less than a week old and tasting better than the Merrydown Vintage Dry cider I opened yesterday
..... not as hard as it sounds tbh...... the Merrydown was shite, had an odd caramelized twang to it, went down the sink.

Fermented orange juice or "orange slurry" is what is brewed in prisondeepinvader wrote:OK, I'll bite, what's the problem with Orange Juicetubby_shaw wrote:Max they'll be finemaxashton wrote:What have we done...
We only need to worry when they try to ferment orange juice
Every forum member so far that has had the bright idea of orange tc has simply vanished without a trace
