What Sweeteners does everyone use in TC?

[VillageBrew]

Hi all,

Making a foray into Turbo Cider and wold like to know what sweeteners everyone uses. My 'real cider' (using pressed apples) is always very dry and any wine I make always ferments to dryness so any help appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

PS - If anyone has any suggestions that aren't Canderel that would be great as I seem to have developed a real sensitivity to aspartame-type chemicals...

I used Canderel in mine when bottling, 2 tablets per 1L bottle with 1tsp of sugar. It came our very fizzy and nice and sweet which is how I like my ciders.

I've seen some people use Stevia sweetner. It's plant based so may be ok.

Personally, I leave it as is. Then put a squirt of Monin Green apple syrup (other flavours are available lol ) in glass before pouring.

Thanks both - I've got a few days to get sorted as the FV has just been sealed!

I really like adding apple juice to the glass.

Don't know why I've not thought of that before - I will definitely give that a trial :thumb:

I had thought about that myself, only I was going to boil it up and add some sugar and reduce it down a bit to make my own syrup.
