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.

Coopers Canadian Blonde Kit - look at

Coopers Canadian Blonde Kit a metal can of extract required for making beer. There was a small dent as it was not boxed aside from 1" of foam bubble wrap stuck to base.

The yeast is under the cap in this can.
not opened yet hence no pic of yeast.

This looks like old style packaging used on the old coopers kit. The one with the good fermenter not the floppy one.

Golden Mylar 7g packet of Coopers brewing yeast from the Canadian Blonde kit.

Bottom can end of the Coopers Canadian Blonde can, the instructions and the yeast are on top of this under the plastic cover. You open the Bottom of the can to extract the malt.


This is the instructions booklet you get under the plastic cover along with the yeast packet.

This is the instructions booklet you get under the plastic cover abnong with the yeast packet.
Pages 1 to 4 P1 Record beer details here. Handy for all brewing. Canadian blonde and 1034 OG for me.
P2 a welcome from coopers, requirements and cleaning.
P3 To clean, Sanitising, Useful formula for Determining Alcohol ContentP4 How to mix up the kit.
Pages 5-7P5 Brewing and Temperature control, it says 21-27°C but general advises to avoid going above 24°C. As is distrupts the taste.
P6 Bottling 6g white sugar per 750ml. But since they sell 500ml bottles it would be 4g per bottle or 1 1/2 Carbonation drops a bottle.
Bottom is a warning your country may twist its knickers if you sell the beer without its permission.
P7 is Common Faults and Brewing notes for European Lager basically Coopers European Lagar is a low temp yeast. which means moothing for

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.

Nike 6.0 Competition Stuff

The T-shirts and shoes finally showed up from Nike. The delivery was by DHL and you have to practically guide them by the hand to find you or go meet them some place, haven't they heard of GPS?
Got the 5 T-shirts as above, 3 of them XXL and ok looking. The other 2 are Large and one has a give it away pattern.
Shoes are sizes 8 and 12.5, this after having asked for 7 and 10 for my sister and brother. Sneaker/trainer shoes are really not my thing and I suffer from wide feet so the 12.5 was tight across the foot. Still someone of my family should be able to wear it, the "Grande Purple" Air morgans may be harder to find a owner. The 12.5 is a "Zoom Oncore 2" both apparently quite good shoes.
Nice to actually win stuff for once, still would have been nicer to have gone to France. No amount of big cleavage cousins is going to improve that.

Nike 6.0 Round House Winner!

I am the Nike 6.0 Round House Winner or rather was, as I had the unfortunately give it up! The competition was entered on a chance more than anything else and I get the email saying I am the Nike 6.0 Round House Winner!. Unfortunately the email had gone in the junk section so I find it a day late and it did not help I had a big family dinner to go to. So was too busy and too broke to go. This is exactly the sort of thing that is annoying as hell. You get a nice chance to leave the country have a bit of a break and possible find some loose women. Then the reality of big family life rears its head and no fun for me is what happens.

Was promised some shoes and t-shits as some for of compensation by them so I should get something for it all.
