Raspberry TC
I have never made a turbo cider but fancy a go. Has anyone got a recipe/instructions for a Raspberry TC?

Re: Raspberry TC
Guy over on the Other Forum has just done one, with real rassies.
I did one a while back where the not-AJ part of the juice was cranberry&rass, and frankly I don't think rassies bring much to the brew. Too sharp. Cider tends to sharpness anyway, you don't want any more.
But it's not unpleasant, I just won't do it again, so...
(1 gallon)
Pretty much standard: 3.5l cheapo AJ, 0.5l sillystrong tea, 0.5l rass or cran&rass, nutrient, yeast: chuck in all bar 1l of AJ which goes in on day 4 or 5 to avoid airlock escapes, bottle when it clears.
The great thing about TC is it ain't rocket science - grab whatever you fancy, lob it in, 6 weeks later you know if it was a good idea or not, and if it wasn't it didn't cost much and is probably still drinkable.

Re: Raspberry TC
My recommendation would be to make a regular TC which if you want it for this summer will be very acidic and sharp.
When either bottling or drinking add some Polish raspberry syrup which will add flavour and sweetness.
If you use raspberry juice in the recipe it does become lost post-fermentation.
