My dayoff! (brewday)

I just filled a bucket with 20L of Second2none's punch recipe. (peach!) Hit Lidl on the way home and picked up 20L of AJ for just over ÃÂ£9 and now looking for some inspiration! Could just chuck in some sugar, hit the 1.050 mark and ferment out but not sure I want 40 bottles of just plain cider. Should I ferment out and back sweeten with different things? :) Looking to bottle the lot once it's done, any nifty suggestions? Got a 25L bucket, 10L bucket and 2 DJs free atm so could mix it up I guess :P

I would wait until its finished then see if you like it or it needs something adding.

I'm liking a straight tc apple primed with a 440ml bottle of Lowicz syrup... raspberry is one I've done a coupla times and is pretty tasty Ã°Å¸ËÆ

How big a batch would the 440ml do Roddy? I've seen a cherry version in my local Tesco.

I do mine in 25l batches, so would stick a whole bottle in, it seems like a lot of sugar but I like mine pretty fizzy, doesn't blow up either Ã°Å¸Ëâ°

so 440ml into 25l carbs them up nicely? Decided to do with a 10L batch. First time I've used young's cider yeast instead of young's super yeast and I like (and am surprised) in the taste difference. Anyhoo, 17.6ml per litre gets me to 176ml of syrup for 10L. Did you sweeten with splenda Roddy?
