Scurvy Dog Pineapple Turbo Cider

[haz66]

I made a TC on Saturday with

3 ltrs Morrisons Pineapple Juice
1 ltr Mineral water
2 Cans of Morrisons Fruit Cocktail in syrup (Blended)
1.25g of Youngs Cider Yeast
OG 1042
Through it all in a 5 ltr FV and watched and waited.

Today it had completely finished fermenting final SG 1002 giving me about 5.4% ABV

had a sneaky taste at bottling and its, well differant, there is a mellow pineapple taste to start followed by a very dry taste, but then a stronger pineapple taste comes back, it tastes a bit more like a dry wine than a cider, but it will do seeing as it only cost a few quid to make.

Maybe next time i`ll add another ltr of pineapple juice and omit the mineral water even though it will take up the ABV level it will give it a stronger pineapple taste, i think.

Another option would be to replace the mineral water with a litre of apple juice. This might round out the flavours a bit. I make pineapple TC with 3 litres of apple to 1 of pineapple. I also can't help adding sugar to beef it up a little

I`ll give that one a try next time, would have done it tonight had i read your post earlier but just put all my apple juice into the FV for another TC with just apple juice and apples.
