f'me that stuff will put hairs on your chest reminds me of one of my early attempts at TC, a cherry version that was about 10% two pints of that drunk like regular cider and I couldn't remember anything after haha :mrgreen:

Bobbins you can't fella :)... I've made a couple based around this recipe and bottled this particular one tonight... tasting very good I must admit... got a nice dry red aftertaste worth a try if you like red http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=71626

The blackcurrant one comes out nicely in a TC, subtle though (good thing) ☺ Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Nice one, Lidl's s bit nearer than my polish supermarket 😀 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Hmm I'm a bit out of my depth now matey, more used to basic supermarket juice recipes.... Hopefully one of these guys will have something more useful to add 😀 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

If your pondwater (:mrgreen:) is a little light on elderflower aroma, I don't think that adding a few more would hurt, if you aren't too concerned about the green colour.... if you are, you might be as well to start from scratch and use lemon ? would be a pain though, how much did you put...

Doh, oh yeh Include the juice of 4 limes in there too 😀 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Had a wee taste.. ahem sample to take SG reading and already down to 0.995. I'll leave it another week at which point it should have gotten to 0.990 then I'll rack. Tasting good this one, a nice woody dryness to it, the elderberries are making their mark too 😁 Sent from my SM-G920F...

Boom, bottled that bad boy tonight, batch primed with 400ml syrup (340g sugar)... Nice and cloudy this time, not going to be flat this time I betcha 😤 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

incidentally, TC doesn't tend to foam up much, so I don't ever start it off and top up, just bung it all in at the start :) might save you a step for next time ;-)

not sure it would make that much difference mate, but worth a try If I want to keep some of the fruity flavour, what I do is prime with fruit syrup (typically the Polish Lowicz stuff) and use a cider yeast with sweetener (I get this on ebay) the fruity flavour comes through nicely and the...

Good work chief 😀 That'll be a punchy brew at around 7.5% abv once you've primed it 😵 Should do the trick though. I'm sure I've used one if the herbapol syrups too, or thought about it at least 😀 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Sounds interesting sir, keep is posted ! I haven't branched out into making wine with real actual fruit so far but tempted by the stories of cheap fruit 😀 Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Evening all.. After my last attempt at this recipe and bring miffed that it didn't carb up nicely... I'm doing it again, exactly the same recipe but going to prime and bottle immediately after it gets down to SG 1.000. My theory for the last one I made that didn't carb was that I left it too...
