VERY fizzy TC!

Post by incapete » Fri Dec 28, 2007 1:03 pm

I just cracked open a bottle of my first attempt at Turbo Cider and lost half of it over the kitchen surface as it bubbled out everywhere!

I had fermented 4 litres of Morrisons Apple Juice with 1/3 packet of Champagne yeast and then primed with an extra litre of juice - do you have any thoughts on why it's so fizzy? Have I over-primed or is it the yeast I've used?

My next batch was more carefully racked to remove more yeast and I primed it with half as much juice so I'm waiting to see how it turns out.

I guess that would do it! :oops:
It still tastes good so it's fine as long as I pour it quickly once it's open.

Stick it in the fridge overnight before opening. May help, but probably not enough...
