Sorry ive never made this, so cant tell you what its like.
The CT is added to remove the clorine from the water.
As for the brewing sugar, i would say go for it.

I've ordered one of these so will be trying in the next few weeks - I am also going to try a turbo cider at the same time for comparison.
I'll announce the winner later :thumb:

In the meantime has anyone got any tips on the black rock - i read somewhere it was a bit dry - would maltodextrin sweeten it up a little?

ive not made the kit myself but read a few reviews, the best tip woild be to brew it short, maybe 18 or 19 litres max

I done one a couple of years ago. It was ok but turbo cider blows it away.
