s21 Vimto Turbo Cider Step-By-Step (All Stages: Preparation, Fermentation, Evaluation, Lessons)

[@GoodForYou4504]

Well done! I'm in the US and honestly have never even heard of Vimto, but I do make some ciders that have fruit added. Apple/Blueberry and Apple/Cranberry are favorites around here. Nice job explaining the process you do and good information from the lessons learned. I loved the slow pour because I very well understand the fun of first taste of a new brew. I subbed, cheers!!

Thanks Jim, I really appreciate you dropping me a comment. I am a huge fan of both those flavours, I think I need make another cider soon.

what is the purpose for the Tea Bags please

[@RobKingHomebrew]

@@asterixborden-koi6881 it's used as a method of adding tannin (you could add half a teaspoon of tannin if you have some). Tannin is acidic and improves dryness and mouth feel to the finished result. Without it the result can be just a bit thin and flat.

Cheers for this mate, I will try it at some point. I don’t suppose you have any links for the keg and regulator system with the tap, cheers
