exotic fruit juice T/C

[pongobilly]

not done any brewing since may and now gonna get going again so been and got some exotic fruit juice (100% juice) from tesco , just got me stuff in sanitizing now, youngs cider yeast and make up to 4 1/2 litres at around 1050, can anyone remind me of how much juice to use to prime for this batch.

also am i right in remembering that once the fermenting has reached its end i need to put the fermenter in a cool place to clear a little before bottling

cheers

I did a couple of TC's with exotic juice before and lets just say that it wasnt pretty and they both got ditched.They never cleared and when I tasted the sample taken for a hydro reading it was foul.Infairness I could of messed up my sterilizing(but I didnt on earlier TC's and havn't since ).

The reason this probably didn't taste too good is because your now delving into the wine part of fermenting, allbeit a low alcohol wine it would have needed a minimum of two months maturing before being slightly drinkable,also you would have required pectolase for clearing, fermented apple juice is very much drinkable at a young age, many fruit juices are not.

my advice here would be to make a tropical fruit wine of about 9% abv.
