'a teaspoon of sugar helps the cider go POP, in the most delightful way...'

Been out today and bought another lot of apple juice :D

The one I made yesterday is bubbling away nicely so I thought I would have another go.

I wanted to do this one different so I was going to use honey and sugar, but I could not get any brewing sugar, so will have to just use the honey.

Has anyone any idea as to how much honey I should use please, I have 5lt of tesco value apple juice,one pack of 5g cider yeast and tesco value honey and can I use any sugar if so how much.

Check out this thread I started, be awsome if you could add your brew to it.

My post will tell you how much I used.

Just regular Granulated!

I'm no expert, I've not actually drank any of my own turbo cider yet, only had two demi-johns going for a few days.

So don't take my everyword! :)
