Hello everyone,

I'm looking to make a turbo cider, 8-10%, made with tea for tannin, apple juice obviously and brown sugar, can anyone make me up a recipe?

Thanks,

At that sort of strength you are making an apple wine rather than a cider.

Somewhere on the site is the suggestion that adding sugar to apple juice is not a good move for a turbo cider.

Since you are aiming to almost double the strength of an apple juice plus cider (beer?) yeast brew, I am going to have to question how and why you think this might work well.

You might be better off looking at a WOW style approach, using wine yeast and a mix of grape and apple juices.

The one i link to above is for a 6.5-7% :thumb:

I'd echo the info above, look at making an apple wine following the WOW principles. But as a pointer if you're after a recipie, you'll need to say how much you're looking to make. The common sizes are 1 or 5 gals, as they're the sizes of the fv's you will normally get from a LHBS.

20 litres would be ideal
