davew,
What does the Tomato purée do to the cider?
Never seen that in a recipe before.
Are you drinking this yet?

Re: First Turbo Cider this year
It's a substitute for yeast nutrient.
Probably costs more...

Yep, it's a nutrient for the yeast, WA. Old Distillers trick for the mash. As OB says tho. it's probably dearer to buy than dedicated yeast nutrient -

Re: First Turbo Cider this year
Is yeast nutrient needed? I've never had a problem with cider fermentation just by adding yeast to juice.

Re: First Turbo Cider this year
Interesting, my cider does seem to take a while to ferment. I'm lazy though so as long as it doesn't affect taste I'm good without it
