Thanks grey, thought I had read something about the cold stage allowing the co2 to be absorbed back into the liquid, couldn't find the thread though.

Cheers guys, Had a feeling that the 5 days suggested in the instructions was a bit optimistic!

Hi all, Batch primed and bottled just over 20 litres of ale with 80 grams of sugar (40gs of brewing sugar I had left over and 40gs of granulated) 9 days ago, which has been sitting in a warm place ever since. I opened a bottle today to check the carbonation, but it seems a little flat compared...

Just taken a sample. Gravity down to 1000 (8.7 abv according to the calculator). Tastes a bit "rough" at the moment, with only a tiny hint of pear. Stirred in a little sweeter which improved it a lot. I'm going to leave it in the primary fv for as long as possible, could somebody tell me how...

Pick all you like oldbloke! I'm very new to this so not 100% on the definition of turbo cider, thought the use of supermarket aj made it T/C? The recipe described it as toffee apple cider so I went with that. I'm thinking of priming this with more "burnt" honey to add to the flavour, but...

Started my first turbo cider on Monday, using this recipe.... 500g Honey 1 pack yeast of your choice. Popular choices are Montrachet, Champagne, Safale S-04 and Nottingham. 1 14oz tin Pear Halves 1tsp Yeast Nutrient 1 Vanilla Pod or Vanilla Extract First, collect empty bottles, preferably...

Started this a couple of days ago.Wanted to make it a bit stronger so added an extra 100g of sugar (brewing), but didn't account for the extra 200g of sugar added by replacing 2l of water with Apple juice (I'm new to brewing!). I'll let you know how it turns out...

Got a batch of Ritchies OTR Mixed Berries on the go at the moment. Going to do a T/C as soon as I've bottled my beer. 5 gal so far...

Thanks, bottling my beer tomorrow so will have a fv free to start a turbo cider.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the info. It's a 23 litre cider kit that im making. I've been snooping around the forum for a couple of days and saw that somebody had used 1.5kgs of sugar to achieve around 7% vol, so I used 1.4kgs, aiming for 6.5% (the kit instructions estimated 5.9% with 1.3kgs). I forgot...

Hi all, I'm new round here, and new to brewing. Got bought an fv a hydrometer and a gordies winter warmer kit for Christmas, which seems to be going pretty well. I've now bought a second fv and started the otr kit on Thursday evening. Trouble is, the air lock seems to be bubbling a lot slower...
