Strawberry Ribena Turbo Cider

[Tim_Crowhurst]

I got a batch of this in the dj! Does it always turn pretty murky 4 days in?

It's if it doesn't turn murky that you need to worry. The murkiness is a sign of fermentation happening :thumb:

No problems then!

And it's going strong judging by the airlock

Bottled this last nite! Tastes not bad so can only get better

This recipe sounds yum!!
Just a few questions if someone could answer for me...

Instead of cider yeast would i be able to use youngs yeast and nutrient?
Also once its in the demijohn do you just ferment it as you would for a wine?
And do you have to use Tannin? I've seen people replace it with strong tea, but how much would the equivalent be?
Thanks

After priming and bottling and the dreaded wait for 3 weeks for secondary fermentation, I had to try some. Was gorgeous. Had to put another one on on Friday because I have nearly finished it all. It's 8.6% do its potant. Would have more than 2 in one sitting! Very tastey, reccomend this. My only advice would be don't add any sugar until you know what the OG is! As you may have a brew like mine that I could probably sell to NASA.
