Still spirits turbo range

[Kmx125]

First of all i'd like to say hi as i'm new to the forum and new to home brewing.

Basicly what i want to to know is - are the Still spirit turbo range any good? Do you need to to use a still(Not prepared to do for obvious reasons)? And are they as quick they say? ie 24, 48 hours etc.

Reason being is i have purchased all the kit to do a alcotec spirit base kit but that takes almost 4 weeks and i want to brew something for new years eve (leaving it a bit late i know )

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Don't know about the kit, sorry.

But I do know about Turbo Cider and you could easily knock some of that up in time for NYE.

Check the threads below on the subject.

I haven't tried, but I'd expect any high alcohol fermented product, based almost entirely on sugar to taste fairly awful. TC is quick, easy, fairly cheap, and can be made plenty alcoholic enough

Thanks for the advice guys, off into town now to pick up some apple juice + yeast . This may be obvious but does it have to be apple juice or can i make it with any?

Gonna also do the spirit kit see how it goes so i'll let you know the results (in about 4 weeks )

Well i did it and im well chuffed just gotta wait and see what the results are like



In the bucket is the spirit kit and in the demijohn 4.5Ltr of AJ 150gm of sugar(don't know why i chose 150gm just did lol) and tspn of youngs super wine yeast compound (again dunno if this is right but it was all wilko had )

Is this ok and more importantly will it be ready to get sloshed on for NYE as it is bubbling slow and not the explosion ppl describe on here
