Back Sweetening Turbo Cider

[will4009]

Hello,

So, what's everyone's preferred method?

I have just tasted a batch of my turbo cider that has been bottled for 2 weeks. I didn't back sweeten, and it is very dry. I have another currently fermenting, an apple and pineapple TC, and I would like to sweeten it slightly.

I have some fake sugar, erythritol, I was unsure if that could be used? Or, how much to use per pint?

Would be grateful for some suggestions.

Thanks

Why not add some cordial when you pour it, you can add what you like.

I used Cologran from Lidl. Cheap as chips. 4 tabs per litre worked for me.

I use Stevia in the powdered form. 1/2 a level teaspoon a pint. It's expensive but it's natural from a plant & is hard to tell the difference from sugar in your coffee too. Hopefully it won't rot your brains like some sweeteners are reported to.

Splenda IF necessary, which is rare

Poor a bottle of your dry cider then add sweetener till you get the level of sweetness you like. Then assuming your latest batch finishes at a similar gravity (dryness) you know how much to add per bottle/pint so it's to your taste.

Can I ask how much you use per pint?

I've never measured it - I add to taste to the keg before bottling. I would estimate 50-70ml based on the number of brews done (to a 21 litre brew), and the quantity left. It really depends on how sweet or dry you want it.
