Not proper demijohns but the big plastic water bottles. Not sure how long it should take to fully clear but looks drinkable just now, at least to me. I have some bottles that would be suitable for carbonation, do you need a proper priming sugar or would normal granulated sugar do?

What do you need?

My first batch of turbo is finished I have transferred it to a new bottle to get rid of the yeast. I would like to carbonate it but not sure when to do or how to do it. If I am honest I would like to drink it as soon as possible but if its worth leaving a few weeks I suppose I could force...

I borrowed a siphon hose from the person who showed me how to get started in this hobby, but I've lost it I got one with my start up kit but it not as thick or rigid as the one I borrowed. I would like to replace it with like for like or better dose anyone have any links on where to buy one...

I Just went daft with what was at hand, won't be as wild in future ulesss it turns out brilliant.:D

No activity whatsoever on the turbo cider overnight whilst my other batch is frothing and bubbling away added some more yeast to see if it will kick in to action.

Will try that thanks. Will need to wait till after the concoction is finished that I started yesterday, tin of pineapple, strawberries 2 tins of mixed fruit, apple juice, some strawberry syrup a jar of marmalade lol and 3/bag of sugar, god knows what it will turn out like but first taste...

Couldn't help it but had to taste it and have to say its as good as any £5 bottle from the shop, so all good. Hopefully get better the longer it sits although that won't be that long the way me and the missus go thru it.

Thanks, so would it be a full back for a full batch of 25 ltrs

Even if its the worst wine ever I will still try my hardest to drink it( to miserable bin it). Took tanzanites advice and transferred it to new container, feel better now still a bit cloudy but no lumps now

My first attempt at turbo cider, how much yeast would you use in a 5ltr water bottle. I bought wilkos wine yeast and I have yeast nutrient. Would you use the full pack or tsp and same with yeast nutrient. Thanks in advance.

will be trying a tc today, any recommendations for a rosey for the missus and a red for myself, do like a red.

maybe that's where I went wrong I put finings in straight after the stabiliser but strange first batch didn't have the big lumps

Definitely impatient, the last batch went down a treat and I'm on my last 5 litres and don't want to have to go back to buying from the shop again now that I see how cheap it is to make your own.

so its maybe still fermenting a bit, where would you get muslin cloth?

Only put the stabiliser and finings in last night. Maybe I am being a bit impatient but the last batch didn't do this and had almost cleared within a day.

The lumps are dark looking and look like they are suspended in a thin froth at the top if that makes sense. The wine smells fine IMO but the lumps don't look like they should be there. I have a picture but can't get it to upload

I am on my second batch of wine from the range, and although I have done the same as the first one I have lumps floating on the top during the clearing process as well as sediment on the bottom. The wine smells OK but the lumps don't look good. Can't seem to upload pictures.
