How long will TC keep in a demi?

Post by thesaintv12 » Tue Sep 16, 2008 8:39 pm

I have had some Turbo Cider sitting in a demijohn for about 4 months. Will this be ok?

Should I put it into the bottle in the normal way, or should I add yeast?

Should I just put it in the fridge and drink it flat? It is crystal clear and I could probably finish it in a few days.

Cheers all.

Depends what kind of top you've got on your DJ, has it had an airlock on it all this time?

You may get some yeast autolysis but the proof's in the pudding so try some.

Yes it's had an airlock on it.

I will open it up tonight.

Thats quite a while to have an airlock on! Should be ok though, I'd bottle it with either some sugar (1 tablespoon per 500ml or some apple juice about 30-40ml per 500 ml bottle.)
