Racked to secondary yesterday. Hydrometer says 1.004. I think fermentation is done - will bottle the first 5l in the next couple of days. I added a Campden to the 10l that I plan to bulk age for longer.
update. this was a nice drink over Christmas. it is definitely improving with time in the bottles and I still have about 7 litres left once the dry January is over. Lessons for next year:
1 - Make it earlier. As my FVs will be (hopefully) taken up with apple cider around October I plan to make this in Aug / Sept. Should then be nicely mature for Christmas.
2 - Take recipie above and add some fresh ginger when boiling up. I read elsewhere it gives TC a nice bite, and I think ginger would go really well here.

Still got a a few bottles of this rattling around the beer fridge ! Have to say - gets better with age for sure !
Fizz is awesome !

Maybe making a bigger batch is te answer to the problem of only having a few brews left by the time they have conditioned !
