Using no added sugar drinks in Tc
Using no added sugar drinks in Tc
I was wondering if I used on of the cartons of juice with a sweetener in and the rest normal sugar filled ones so it will keep some sweetness afterwards as the Ribena Tc I bottled today is very sour and bitter which I like but would like to have a little sweetness. Would this work.

I've just started another no added sugar squash TC and a Lowicz syrup one

Should work. As long as you avoid anything with sorbates or sulphites. Getting the amount of sweetness right might take some experimentben9393 wrote:I was wondering if I used on of the cartons of juice with a sweetener in and the rest normal sugar filled ones so it will keep some sweetness afterwards as the Ribena Tc I bottled today is very sour and bitter which I like but would like to have a little sweetness.

Sorry I went looking for the link and forgot to say yes, mine came out sweet with NAS squash, both squashes had sorbate and metabisulpahte in, I boiled em for 10 -15 mins and they are slower to start fermenting but get there in the end,next time I'm gonna try without boiling and see how it pans out.

Re: Using no added sugar drinks in Tc
Sorbate is temp sensitive, Metabisulphate isnt - so I think boiling gives the yeast a 50% easier job to overcome the remainder. I've tried NAS squashes before and although they worked as you'd expect,I find they still give an artificial "tang" which I dont seem to get by adding my own stevia or sucralose.... strange.
