turbo cider strenth

[paulturner1974]

when i made my TC i used 1 sachet (6g) of yeast its nice but rather strong my question is if i use half the amount of yeast will it result in half the strenth? or do i have to stop fermentation if so how do you do that?

Less yeast just means it's slower to ferment out or may not ferment out. More yeast will just make it go quicker.

Using less yeast may make it weaker but this is not the way to go about it. Just using less suger is the best way. Stopping fermentation at the required gravity would also work, something like a wine filter should work for this although it sounds like a faff about !

Next time make C, not TC

I think you can stop fermenation by adding 1 campden tablet per gallon. It's not going to taste like a decent cider though.

Let it ferment out completely, do another brew (gallon?) of cider with no sugar and blend it. Many decent ciders are blended and its not a problem.

Use more water if you have a big enough FV
