Right, as the title states, it's bottling time!
I've got a full demi-john of TC ready to go.
I'm thinking of bottling it with 30ml of apple juice per pint. Not sure though, I've also got some non fermentable sweetner (Canderel) which I'm hoping with sweeten it up.
Going to bottle it tonight, any tips?
What has every been bottling theirs with?
Time to bottle my TC
Re: Time to bottle my TC
I've just bottled my 3rd attempt at TC..... first two were flat as a witches tit.....
This one I made with a Cider Yeast and a litre of Pear Juice.
I'm slightly concerned as it had an inch of 'stuff' in it..... almost like curds and whey, where the cheese (curds) seperates from the whey.... I'm putting this down to the pear juice, though don't know why....
I've also probably made some bombs ... the wife likes Perry, which is pretty sweet..... I found some Silver Spoon Light Sugar --> http://www.silverspoon.co.uk/home/produ ... ated-sugar in the cupboard and added a level tsp into each 500ml bottle...... I'm expecting cider up the walls tomorrow morning.... they're in St. Helier Pear Cider bottles with crown caps....
I think I'll be leaving these for a while ..... I'm in no rush to try them at all!!!

Re: Time to bottle my TC
As a rule, how long after bottling is it before TC is ready to drink?
Mine's just about finished fermenting I reckon - currently 1 bubble every 50 secs or so. Its been on the go for 14 days.
