Yeah, Hydrometer is all fine

20 degrees?!? Not sure what the temp is at night but it stays warm

1.005 and at the moment it’s at 1.015

As per instructions I added 1kg Sugar and I also added some Spray Malt......250g I think. It’s just sitting at Room Temperature and it has a towel covering it to keep it warm. We don’t have the door open constantly so it gets to around 20 degrees inside the house. I haven’t added an airlock to...

Ok so I went back to it and all I can say is big up Lalvin Yeast lol clapa I’ve never dealt with yeast where I had to rehydrate but it did a good job. Same thing again: a batch for me and a batch for work. Dropped the Hydrometer yesterday and the work batch came in at 5.91% which isn’t bad but...

Ok so I bought the Geordie Lager Brew Kit and it’s been bubbling for about 2 x Weeks. It says it should be 1.05 or lower for 2 x Consecutive days before I bottle it but mine seems to have stalled at 1.015. Do you think I should go ahead and bottle it or is there anything I can do to get it down...

Sorry guys it’s been a mad week. I’ve been trying to rush this brew to impress the guys at work etc but I know where I went wrong and will now improve. I picked up Tesco’s “Growers Harvest” Apple Juice Drink so obviously that’s not the same as Apple Juice from Concentrate. When I did my Ribena...

To be honest the juice could be where I went wrong and maybe the Temperature. I didn’t want to but I might purge it all and start again :coat:

I’ve completely ballsed this up! Just did another gravity test after a week and it’s only 1.18%! Have added some more brewing Sugar, that should kick off the yeast again right? Otherwise should I just start again and get some proper Apple Juice rather than stuff with “No added Sugar”

Well it’s at room temperature. There’s a little sign that the yeast is working but that’s it, just been different to how I did it last time. Would it have anything to do that I split a packet of yeast? Half in the first container and the other half in that one?

I was watching a video online and it wasn’t quite meant to do this lol. This is how it’s looking, no sign of fermentation though apart from the cloudiness

So I got it all ready on Saturday. There was a bit of action at first from the yeast, now it’s just all gone cloudy and if you give it a bit of a shake it goes a bit fizzy........help!

When I make Turbo Cider I give it a week for the initial fermentation and then I bottle it/let it settle for another week before having a drink

I’ve done 2 x Batches of TC. I put 4 TBSP of Brewing Sugar in 1 and the other I just left it as standard. I got a starting gravity of 1.024 and I’m a bit worried because I realised too late that the juice I used said that there was “no added sugar” Hope this doesn’t have a negative effect on...

But what if you want to make it stronger? I want to do more than 6% lol

So I’ll be doing another batch of TC tomorrow. I was just wondering how much sugar should I add to 5L of Apple Juice?

Yeah

Ok, thinking of doing a batch of TC. Was going to do 2 x 5L jugs. Will I need 2 x packets of yeast or can I use x 1 and then just split it between the 2 x FV’s

Hey Guys, haven’t been around for a while. Finished my Woodfordes Wherry and I’m still drinking that. I’m thinking of making another batch of Turbo Cider. As the title suggests I’m looking for a nice sweet Cider yeast, what do ya’ll suggest?

I’m not sure wether I want to do it fizzy or flat yet. I thought priming sugar made it fizzy? With my last batch of TC I used Splenda
