Turbo Cider Time-lapse

[@HitchHikersBlues]

I just throw the cider yeast into the juice, put in a warm place, and wait till its finished. A couple a weeks later... delicious :) Yeast is Magic

[@VT-tz5bm]

This music left me feeling weird, loved it.

I made 6 gallons of hard cider this year for xmas gifts.Turned out really good.Its all in the apples.was a little over 13%.

[@saabcrow]

I use regular white sugar in this video and in all my brewing.

[@danieldebski7853]

If you ever do another timelapse, might be an idea to have a clock visible.

[@derekbuxton6626]

I would suggest using corn sugar than ordinary granulated sugar because corn sugar gives a higher alcohol boost and carbonation so your drink won't taste flat.

[@saabcrow]

There are some merits to using other sugars (dextrose vs sucrose) because they are easier for yeast to breakdown but I'm not sure they give a higher alcohol content as such given time (unless you have something you can link to to say otherwise) because enzymes in yeast will break down sucrose into dextrose over time - but the main thrust here was not to create a great drink but to create a cheap high ABV quickly. Also there is a cost burden with using more refined sugars, dextrose is significantly more expensive in the UK than sucrose. But each to their own. I haven't done this again for years. I've never had great success with carbonation but I think that's down to lack of will power. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

cool video.... Just got into making TC recently, myself. Curious to know why you topped with water? I've just been using straight juice.... Cool track as well...

[@saabcrow]

Thanks. I only added water to reduce the overall cost and added sugar to bring up the OG to give ~7%. The recipe is based on WOW (Wurzels Orange Wine).

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

mine has a layer of foam after 3 to 4 hours. normal? the yeast is moving up and down so i guess thats fine.

[@saabcrow]

That all sounds normal. You usually get vigorous fermentation in the first few hours/days (temperature dependent) while the yeast starts (from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration) this is why I suggest leaving the bottle partly empty and topping up after a few days to prevent foam coming out of the airlock. Cheers.

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

+saabcrow yea its totally fizzing now. bought a new hydrometer today for a future bramble wine and decided to test the cidee and it had a gravity 1065 about 8℅? im guessing it will be a bit stronger hehe.

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

+saabcrow might be closer to an apple wine than a cider 😂

[@DJahop]

How long was the period of inactivity?

[@saabcrow]

I'm afraid I can't recall. If it's any help I checked the video files and it looks like I cut out 25% of the timelapse, so I guess 4-5 hours.

[@Nekac666]

Did you take too much turbo cider,when u put this freak music on video?

[@mikelazar8061]

The music scare me

[@martink9785]

I'm guessing that you're a modular synth guy 🙂

[@locouk]

I'm doing a carton apple wine/cider with honey and a jar of powdered ginger atm.

[@saabcrow]

Green Silver How did it turn out? I've never been very happy with powdered ginger, hoping to start a ginger beer this weekend though.

[@locouk]

Good, you feel it going down, you don't need to drink much for a hangover though.

[@thewrastler]

I love watching my DJ ferment so was excited to watch this, ten or so minutes is about my limit though! How did it taste?

[@jamieswales8290]

mint WTF that's not cider.next you'll be pouring it putting a cherry and an umbrella in it

[@saabcrow]

The mint was only there to add interest to the timelapse. There is no flavour.

[@davidvillanueva4028]

what is this song?

[@saabcrow]

David Villanueva I apologise for not replying. It says the music in the video description: "Liquid Evolution (Sinking Canoe Remix By Terre Thaemlitz)" by Various Artists ()

[@khalsida300]

Watched it in 2x speed :D

[@drakonidesthevigilant5155]

I added a lot of yeast to mine... I think it may taste like sour buttholes

[@Kurt-Ahmet]

I watched this video and I made it.. I made it with % 15 abv with using some honey.. It was lost its apple taste and smell with high alcohol volume It looked like to cheap vodka with horrible yeast taste and smell I drank it and it caused a horrible hangover syndrome in me.. I will never do it again

[@saabcrow]

Sorry you had a bad experience. I am not surprised you had a hangover at 15% ABV, which is impressive, what yeast did you use? The amount of apple juice in this recipe isn't really going to give a strong apple flavour nor colour: it's cheap "prison" style hooch. Homebrew like this will often have a yeast taste when it's not probably cleared.

[@Kurt-Ahmet]

saabcrow I have used bread yeast and standart apple juice

[@saabcrow]

Bread yeast isn't very good for brewing because it gives an off taste. See this homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/2706/baking-yeast-for-brewing Even more impressed you got 15% from bread yeast.

[@Kurt-Ahmet]

saabcrow THANK YOU

[@buffalojoe78]

You got a headache because your cider was young and probably had a crapload of bad gases in it. Did you off gas your brew at anytime?
