Been ticking over a while but it’s a bit chilly in here,
Tastes not bad at moment so hopefully will be nice in time

How did your apple and mango turn out? I just bottled mine, recipe as follows:

2.5L Apple juice (Asda)
2L Mango Juice (Asda)
110g dextrose
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp pectolase
Bulldog sweet cider yeast
1 cup strong (added at the end as I forgot when setting up)

It tasted ok before bottling, though it was warm and flat. Looking forward to the finished product!

Turned out nice,
Sweet and fairly strong
All gone now..

Ha, glad to hear it! Do you mind me asking for your recipe? I'd like to try it if mine turns out a bit naff

It was a bit ad hoc
Used apple juice fresh mangoses that I blitzed
Pectalose
Yeast
Yes
Then dextrose to carbonate in bottles
