Fruit cider recipe.

[Banbeer]

Summer Fruit Cider ABV 6.2%

This is to make 5Litres, adjust as necessary

Ingredients
4 Litres of summer fruit juice(100%)from fridge
1 sachet of cider yeast
300ml of apple and blackcurrant squash (concentrated and sugar free)
8tsps of sugar (heaped)
2 tsps of wine sweetener (optional)

Method
sanitise
Empty the fruit juice into DJ/FV of choice
Sprinkle the yeast in then leave 10 mins
Give the DJ/FV a shake to mix the yeast or stir
Add airlock and put in a warm place ideally 18 - 20C
Leave for 10 days after it starts to ferment to ensure completion

Bottling
Empty into 5L bucket or secondary
Add the squash and wine sweetener (optional) depends how sweet you want it
Give it a stir and then add the sugar and stir thoroughly (I heat up the sugar with a tad of boiled water first)
Sanitise the bottles and fill them
Leave in the warm for 2 weeks to carb then into the cold to condition

Obviously if you want it flat then leave out the sugar at the bottling stage

Hi Banbeer, which summer fruit juice do you use?

I don't make it anymore as my wife drinks wine but when I used to make it I'm pretty sure we were using Sainsbury's (fridge stuff, 100%)
