Bottled: Turbo Cider & Blackberry


Forgot about this one, it was sat behind the other wines in the demijohns, quite happy. I made this way back on the 17/07/14 so it's now not really a turbo cider any more.

It was made up the standard way for a turbo cider, 4 litres of Tesco Value Apple juice dumped right into the demijohn, and then added some Youngs Cider Yeast.

Did a little twist to this one, once the Turbo Cider had stopped fermenting I added 200ml of home made blackberry cordial to the demijohn, then just forgot about it until now.

Bottled it all up today into 550ml beer bottles and primed with a 1/2 tsp of sugar to give it a little sparkle.Ended up with Seven 550ml bottles to add to my stock in the Cabin Brewery.

Had a sneaky taste on bottling, as you do, and it's pretty good Cider, with the light purple colour and the aroma from the blackberries coming through quite well.

With the slight carbonation from the sugar in the bottles I think it will be a nice drink.
