01 Vitafit Turbocider - 1st Bottle

First bottle of the first batch of Vitafit Apple Juice Turbocider. A 250ml Nobelaner bottle was chosen due to the high ABV I had decided to make this one.
15%ABV minimum is what it should be. Given the Surge problem and samples am slightly unsure of actual ABV.

Turbo Cider - with Capri Sun and Rio Doro Sun Shots drinks packs

I have gone and made an attempt at a turbo cider made with Capri Sun and Rio Doro Sun Shots drinks packs. They are small 200ml packs with an SG of juice is 1.044 near as I can make out on the hydrometer. This is 24g of sugar


Absolut vodka used as mini Demijohn.
newest turbo cider is Capri-Sun and 2 x "sun shots" by Rio Doro which are aldi version of the drink.

Contains
1 x Capri-Sun (contains 10.5g sugar per 200ml)
2 x Sun shots (each contains 11.2g sugar per 200ml)
50g of plain sugar tesco brand
50ml tap water
Absolute bottle 700ml (1 L is better but I not have.)
Youngs Wine Super Yeast Compound 1/4th teaspoon

Mix sugar and warmish water until mostly mixed, wait till cools to 25c°C. Add the yeast wait for 1hr to get going, add rest of juice. Shake the hell out of it to oxygenate it for yeast to breath, take SG.
SG of juice 1.034
OG of final mix 1.065.
A padded envelope makes a insulated jacked / mess container of just the right size for this botle.
No bubbler airlock as the cap is closed to touching and rotated back 1/8 turn. Since the Absolut bottle cap is a bit sloppy it will when about right rise and make a clap on coming down as it works as dry airlock.

Home Brewing Kit

I have decided to try my hand at home brewing a beer for myself. there are no Local home brewing shops in my county so its online for me. Otherwise its a 100 mile round trip, sod that i can get delivered for fiver.

Ordered a BrewSmarter Premium Starter Beer Kit with is the bottler and heater belt and a 33lt fermenter & Coopers Canadian Blonde kit as a upgrade. Got the Brewing sugar as recommended and the Coopers Carbonation drops. Also got various paddles and a capper for glass bottle then bought 2 packs of Coopers Ox-Bar 500ml PET bottles as they are supposed to keep the beer good for longer with a special coating.


The Fermenter and the "Little Bottle" bottling wand and tap.



3 Airlocks - 1 with bung for the Demi John and 2 for the fermenters.


A heater for the fermenter and a "Deluxe syphon", buy the auto its easier than this.


Hydrometer this is bloody important piece of kit. Stupid hexagon base keeps falling off.


Coopers Canadian Blonde kit, no kit means no beer.
