i am about to start a large batch of turbo cider.
i have 22 litres of apple juice from aldi. 56p a litre and says that its apple juice from concentrate and contains citric acid.
the sugar content is 99grams per litre and i would like the end product to be around the 8.5 to 9% abv. is this do-able? and if so, how much sugar shall i add, and should i dissolve it with some warmed apple juice first?. do i need cold tea for tannin?, if so, how much?
when its done i will be putting it in a barrel with a co2 thingy at the top of it. will i still need to add priming sugar? and if so, how much? and do i need to add anything else such as pectalose or yeast nutrient?
i have searched the forum but haven't been able to find a definitive recipe, sorry for asking so many questions
thanks
