That's it just bottled, 1 teaspoons brown sugar and two sweetener tablets per 500ml bottle. Came out a murky brown/yellow, 6.5%. Tasted ok, slight skittle taste and aroma so hopefully the sugar and sweetener will bring the taste out. Will carbonate for two weeks I reckon, then the all important...

Hi guys, just made a mango cider with safale s-04. Just wondering what the end product will taste like from your experience and if there are any notable difference between them. Thanks

Thanks for that, mayb I should have boiled them up first as well but too late now. Maybe next time.

I made a sherbet lemon batch and it was bad, really chemically smelling and tingly on the tongue, binned it unfortunately. The Skittlebraü has developed a yellow layer of foam on the top but smells awesome. Will try carbonating a few bottles with skittles and see how it goes. Home brewing is a...

I could maybe use certain colours to give an extra taste. No idea how many I'd have to use though.

Some good suggestions, just made a skittles cider which I'm calling Skittlebraü from the Simpsons.

Just done a OG test to let you them dissolve and came out 1.051 and has started bubbling. Smells pretty skittly! Just used the standard bag but if it works well I might try separate colours, looks a murky brown purple now. Will let you know how it goes!

Just wondering what you guys on the forum have named some of your ciders as I'm running out! So far I have; Cherry Popper, Goblin Piss (was a sherbet lemon and went a horrible yellow!), panty-dropper-glory, Enema-gtic Magma. Junkie Juice, the night before the morning after. Think there's only...

Brewmaster Ben is pretty spot on with his recipes so I would just follow him. I am also new to turbo cider and have been playing around with recipes but usually use him as a guide line. I'd only boil anything that is a juice drink as its half juice, half water so gets rid of the H2O. Other than...

Just made a batch of cider with 300g of skittles in instead of using sugar. Just wondering if anyone has every tried this or what the forums opinion on the outcome would be. Cheers

New to the home brewing game and just finished my first batch of cherry cider, 3l cherry, 2l Spanish apples and cider yeast and lots of sugar! Came out at 9%. Sampled some still with my friends and got mixed reviews, was likened to strongbow cider. I am wondering what you Brewers would be...

"There are no stupid questions, as all questions lead to enlightenment." I also have just cold crashed cider for two days before bottling as I'm needing it for a party. Just try things out mate and see what happens, learn from your mistakes and take detailed notes. Check out on YouTube...

A gentle shake every few days moves stuff around nicely, not essential but if you're like me and can't help staring into your carboy and checking it every hour its quite fun to do.

I diluted it in the juice I was using as it had been open a while and wanted to kill any nasty critters off. I also just poured sugar straight into another batch I was making but found it didn't dilute well and took longer to begin fermenting.

I also added one cup of tea as I heard tannin is good for cider.

Made a batch of Cherry cider today, didn't follow a strict recipe but drew inspiration from ones I'd seen here. It when as follows; 2L Spanish Apple Juice (not concentrate) 3L Cherry Juice (not concentrate) 1 Cup Brown sugar (heated and dissolved in apple juice) 1 cup caster sugar (also...

It's a coors light extract I've brewed so dark brown. Just looking for info on how long it takes to get bubbles in the amber nectar.

Sugar was sitting at the bottom so gave em all a shake. There was a hiss when opened and slight head but no fizz. Here's hoping.

Ah man! 31 days!? I can't wait that long! Thanks for the info, guess I just need to play the waiting game.

Bottled my beer two weeks ago come Monday, used two tea spoons of caster sugar as advised for a 750ml bottle. Opened one last night and was still flat as a pancake. Had a slight amount of smoke coming out on opening. How long should I wait before I open more?
