Turbo Cider - Sugar Battle

Turbo Cider - Sugar Battle

Having tried different yeasts, i thought i would try some

different sugars to create slightly stronger Turbo Cider.

Working backwards from the overpowering 12-13%

of Turbo Cider Omega i proportionately reduced the amount

of sugars to 250 grams to 5 litres of juice.

This should work out at around 8% (i hope).

The sugars that i chose to use were Demerara and

Molasses.

Using 2 litres of juice i heated the sugar and juice to dissolve

the sugar before using the other 2 and a half litres

to cool the mixture before adding any yeast.

Chose to use wine yeast as it was a lot bitier and than the bread

yeast in the previous battle.

The demerara smelt nicer, both had starting gravities of

1.060 which means potentially they could both reach the 8% mark.
