turbo cider worry
All hail TC.
Fair enough it is a bit rough but it is lethal.
Going to try a THC soon. Just bought a Youngs brew buddy cider from wilko for £1.99 (Got a £5 voucher for haivng an online account and filling in a questionnaire).
Need a recipe for THC.
My current TC I mixed Pomegranate juice with apple juice. Also I added a banana and a tea bag to must. Has finished not so thin but cloudy.

Life got in the way, but primo turbo now primed with apple juice, bottled in litres (old tonic bottles), still cloudy, and tastes pretty rough. So rough i couldn't actually bring myself to drink the bit left over - I spose it can't hurt you if you don't actually drink it
Went and bought cider yeast. Made up TC2 whilst serious multitasking going on - used allinson's again! Was distracted by daughter using flour and i think I thought I was making bread. Anyway been going for 36 hours ish and much more turbo than last time, i shook the maracas out of it this time, seems to have done the trick

Update - went totally clear in the bottle, so tried a pint last night - smelled good, interesting flavour! Not great but better than any scrumpy I've ever had - excluding the stuff from the cider pub in Bristol many moons ago (Coronation Tap?). Totally lacking that horrible aftertaste from Strongbow etc, so I'm looking forward to the next one!

When brewing TC's its all about experimentation
Try adding syrups,trealces,different sugars or things like cloves and ginger...they all impart a different flavour to a TC
You wont go blind but you may just come across a drink that is worth dying for

My first THC was 11 litres of apple juice, the second that's just gone on is 12.Adam wrote:i made up my THC with the same kit you have and 10 litres of Apple Juice instead of the sugar... then top up to desired volume with water.

I think my brew length is too long, might go for a shorter stronger one next time.
TC IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THC
OG 1.060 FG 1.000 = ~8%?
Tasted loads better than TC. More body and flavour
Racked off yesterday into 3 5litre bottles and 5 primed wine bottles (screw cap).
Going to re rack the 5 litre bottles when settled.
How do i get rid of the crud in the bottom of the wine bottles without losing fizz!!

THC is Turbo Hybrid Cider... basically using a cider kit, instead of adding sugar you add AppleJuice for the same sugar value usually around 10+ litres. This leads to a hybrid kit/Turbo Cider drink.
Mine has just been moved to the kitchen... the keg will soon be my main source of cider becuase i am not loving my demerara TC as much as i had hoped.
