Wow thank you so much, that has answered so many questions for me! I have decided against the wine gums as my wife and I both really don’t like Vimto so, you’re dead right, why add it!

Hi all, I have some questions about adding some bits and bobs to a strawberry cider kit please if anyone can help me. I have a Magnum Strawberry cider kit to make next and I know the strawberry flavour is pretty rubbish so I want to add more to it. I would like to add peach flavour so would I...

Hi there, I was going to add the fruit after secondary fermentation into a SEALED demijohn, no airlock, almost as if it were being bottled. I would be sure not to leave any air in the demijohn though, hopefully that way I can actually remove fruit and bottle it at a later date. Does this sound ok?

Howdy folks, hope everyone is supping well and staying safe. I made a red wine kit a while back and am happy with the 30 bottles I have stored. I actually have a second one of the same kit to make ASAP as it is almost at its Best Before date. I don’t have another 30 empty bottles so I am...

Howdy all, my apologies for such a delay in getting back to you about this but I’ve been quite ill. Thanks for all the amazing advice on this, I can actually report that I siphoned off again into another FV and my auto siphon actually stopped 99% of the seeds going through so the cider is now...

Howdy all, a quick question that I Hope someone can help me with. I am making aside a kit and had some blackberries in the freezer which I have blitzed and blended and added when syphoning into another FV for secondary fermentation today, however even though I blended and blended there are still...

I would say they are fairly small limes so I will probably go with juice of 3 and then I know it won’t be overkill.

Howdy all, as I have posted previously I have a couple of 23L Magnum Strawberry Cider kits to make, and i have read bad reviews that there really isn’t any strawberry flavour to them. So after primary fermentation is done I am going to add 320g of blackberries that I have in the freezer from...

Ah yes of course, sorry I didn’t really think that through but makes total sense thanks a lot!

Wow these tinctures sound awesome and just what I am after, do you know how long they last/keep when made? I will certainly be trying them very soon thanks a million! Also back to my initial question, I just had another thought, do I need to add any extra sugar along with my fresh blitzed...

ok that’s great so would I be ok to just blitz the hell out of the un-frozen fruit and then add that straight into FV before secondary fermentation then? Thanks, this is all so helpful.

Wonderful thanks for that reply. Can I ask HOW you added the fruit after primary fermentation please? Did you boil the fruits and the add the strained juice or should it not be boiled? Thanks

Hi all, I’ve got a couple of Magnum Strawberry cider kits to make that I picked up cheap but all the reviews say that there is hardly any strawberry taste at all, The taste is mainly grape. So I want to add some extra fruit flavour to it but I have no idea whatsoever how to go about this other...

Howdy all i am just making my first cider kit and the instructions that come with it describe adding the priming sugar by batch priming, however I usually just prime each bottle when making lager, so would adding the same amount that I add when brewing lager, approx one teaspoon of brewing...
