Thanks for all your help, i will try 1.5tsps per bottle and leave where i brewed it for a further 2 weeks. great site always a friendly reply Thanks

I have finished fermenting my TC and it as stopped bubbling a few weeks ago. My question is they are 1.8ltr pet bottles and i think i need about 3 tsps of sugar to carbonate. this may seem a soft question but do i dissolve the sugar in the bottle or just put it in and leave it? May sound soft...

Cheers for the advice. sorry about the delay in getting back. Many thanks and advice taken.

Morning all. I have been given a youngs cider kit but cannot find a good review about them. Is there something i should do/add to ensure a better finalised brew. Was opening to get about 6-7% and medium. Any help thanks in advance.

bit cheaper here lol...http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/fonseca/1965 :whistle:

Thanks for the replies. Was not sure about yeast (still learning this hobby). But i did think that it, excuse me, grows to fit the pants as to say. So a good teaspoon should be suffice, as per one gallon, to do the five gallon.

Have looked about on forum but cannot find the answer. I have marssy's turbo recipe on file but not quite sure if making 5 gallon (5 times the recipe) in a 5 gallon FV do i multiply all ingredients by 5 or not? Simple question but i don't know the answer. :hmm:

Cheers for all the help/advice . duly noted and i got and extra 2 ltrs of the neighbour so will do the 25 ltr fv. thanks :cheers:

I have cordial. i am taking a look now at marssy's ribena wine i will also have a good look round the forums and see how i go from there. sorry for confusing you :whistle:

You can use the cordial if you put it in a pot and simmer for about 20 mins to kill off the preservatives :) Do i use it as a full cordial or diluted. I am wondering if i can use it to do the same brew as marssy's turbo cider and follow the instructions substituting the apple juice for...

I did not really wont to spend to much on this hobby just yet and it seems i have spent over a £100 so far :hmm: i do have 3 x 5ltr plastic water bottles i will have to use i was just wondering if there was a way round not using them and also using up my blackcurrant cordial taboot. Looks...

Refering to turbo cider. I order my shopping online and they will only deliver 12x1ltr bottles of apple juice at a time, my question is am i okay to brew 13 ltrs of apple juice in a 25 ltr fv. What i am asking is coz there is a large gap of air will it be okay and not go rotten or similar...

Have made an elderflower cider from magnum and brewed with 2litres of apple and elderflower juice from lidl (presevative free). used 1 teaspoon of both cider yeast nutrient and pectolase. My fist brew in over twenty years so back to basics. readings before fermentation 1060 now @ just under 1000...

That is what i intend to do i am thinking more along the lines of what to do with the alcotec 8 turbo yeast, am i right in thinking it cannot be used with the elderflower. Using the turbo yeast seems to call for carbon filtering or something along those lines.

Bought myself a magnum elderflower kit and a few odds and sods and also some alcotec 8 turbo yeast. I didn't have a clue in all honesty what it was i just seen the speed/strength and drunken alarm bells started ringing as to the potential of it. Well it seems it is about as much use (TO ME) as a...

just added to list. I have a 25 litre bucket and now ordering as you detailed with the 4" screwtop. I have about £25 left of my budget not including recipes.

Will be okay heatwise spare bedroom is very warm due to log burner below.

cheers matth just put down a bottle cleaner. Wont bother with the hops just yet going to start with kits etc first. Be a good while till i get that advanced. :?:

I am buying most of my materials for home brewing in one go if possible and to save on delivery i was wondering if there is some stuff i might as well get for later while getting a delivery from Ballihoo. Taking into consideration i am mainly going to brew cider/lager/ale...not to bothered about...

Thanks for all the welcomes, just hoping i can get some brewing started ready for xmas and thereafter. Cider's my tipple so starting relatively easy with some Turbo Cider ( or at least i think it will be easier)
