hi. You add it once your ciders done and ready for either bottling or secondary. It's dry when complete the wine sweetner really brings it up nicely. So try a glass full first then add accordingly

I've been through this quite recently. I made a strawberry kit and it was dry. So decided to make turbo cider. Aslong as you use juice that has no preservatives to add to the cider. I've got apple & mango in the fridge. Let me know how you get on. Also wine sweetner is a must it's non fermenting...

I tried the mango and only problem was sediment was floating all over the place in big chunks actually looked like sick ha. Is there anything I can use to sink all of this I left it long enough and was fully fermented?

Hi guys fairly new to all this but I've made a few turbo ciders now and enjoying it I've watched out for the potassium sorbate & metabisulphite in the added juice I've put in the primary. Question is could I literally ferment any juice that doesn't have these two preservatives? I've got some...

Hi guys quick question. I've been fermenting from concentrate AJ and then bottling & carving from primary and left and works just fine. Question is if I add a second juice to flavour it am I ok to put this in the bottles then my cider then leave or will it start fermenting again in the bottles??

I was thinking the same. Can you literally throw a orange peel in primary and away you go??

Sounds good if I back sweeten with another juice a you said earlier would I need to still use normal amount of priming sugar to carbonate? Thanks

Oh that would explain it then. Mabye the brown sugar in the syrup plus priming sugar has gone over board. Anyway of salvaging them? The bottles are just normal plastic 1ltr screw tops they've worked perfect past few times. The secondary juice you add to back sweeten when ideally do you add...

Hi. I've finished up and bottled 2 batches.. The first one was 3ltr of AJ and 1ltr of cranberry & raspberry juice. That batch was perfect I back sweetened with wine sweetner and carbonated. Now the second batch was abit of a disaster I followed a recipe on here and it failed. I attempted the...

Argh ok that sounds better then. Had me worrying that I had messed the batch up. TC is turbo cider. I shall read it again. Thanks

I got juice from lidl. Nice an cheap. Still struggling to ferment though

Hi I have a 5 gallon batch of TC in primary now it's been in over a week and started off fermenting brilliantly until 3 days ago and there is no sign of activity no more. I used my hydrometer on it and remains the same about 1-2% abv. Sorry I'm not the best at reading these as I'm new? But for a...

I've jus had a good stir and suddenly it's started up again there's bubbles in the airlock again. I've added a second flavouring cranberry & raspberry to one of the demijohns and thats probably fermenting away now.

Hi I've 2 demijohns on the go of turbo cider. They both bubbled away nicely for 5 days an suddenly stopped I used youngs cider yeast without having a hydrometer is there any way of knowing if it's ready for secondary? Is 5 days too soon to be finished?

I has anyone a simple recipe for Xmas themed cider? I would have thought cinammon, ginger, spices etc would have gone in the mix??

When do you add this into your mixture then? with your fermenting apples or near the end of the fermentation?

Hi guys. Wanting to try some simple TC. I have 10 ltr apple juice from concentrate and 1 packet of youngs yeast. Can anyone recommend another flavour to put in the mix or a flavoured syrup I've seen on eBay perhaps? Trial and error so want to keep it simple also have wine sweetner if it's a tad...

anyone?

Hi guys just a few beginner turbo cider questions. I am wanting to make some TC but I have a 23ltr vessel if I make say 10 ltr of TC do I use half a sachet of cider yeast?? Secondly I am wanting to add some peach syrup to the mix wot kind of ration to AJ would benefit me for a nice taste but not...

Thanks would this extract actually sweeten it then or would I need Splenda also? And I've read that the taste gets better with time left as its only been 2 weeks since I started
