  • Turbo cider

    Hi,I have just done a Tc, starting gravity was 1047 finishing was 0.998, about 6.75% i think. That was with the original 4 ltr i put in. How do i work out final % with an extra ltr of juice topped up with . Thanks

    Is it not 5.4%?

    6.75% x 4litres % 5 litres?

      Lol I've no idea how to work it out. Thought the extra juice may have made % go a little higher, not that i want it really high, its my first try at TC. I made it with 5lrs of apple juice 200g of sugar and 2 spoonfuls of honey. Tastes quite nice, very dry, wife loves dry cider so its a winner for me. needs to carbonate in bottle yet. have a young's lager kit nearly ready to drink, which is OK ish.

        A handy guide is:

        total SG drop div by 7.36, this will give ou a "near enough" guide

        so you needed to measure the SG after the top up added...as this will increase the % alc

        your original SG drop was 1.047 to 0.998 which is a drop of 49 making 6.6% alc approx, the litre of top up prolly added around another 1% or so
