i make it every week and costs about £3 for 8 pints . i just get 4 1/2 ltrs of tescos apple juice£2.80, 250g of sugar, yeast from the local home brew shop or wilkinsons and throw it all in , it takes about 4 days to ferment then i bottle and prime with extra sugar so there is carbonation and in 2 weeks its ready to drink 8-9% turbo cider

but it does get better with age. after the first brew you can re use the yeast over and over again.
you will need to get a sterilize cleaner and clean everthing really well.
its really easy and cheap and tastes great

aint it wierd how the same thing can have different meanings in different areas.
To us a turbo cider is half a pint of cider mixed with half a pint of smernof ice.
Always leaves the head banging the morning after

I prefer me turbo shandy's (half smirnoff ice, half lager of your choice). They're great for drinking in the sun, very refreshing,

i find 4 to 6 days to ferment is right for me , i dont want it to ferment out to much i love my cider nice and fizzy . and i used a table wine yeast . the one iv just bottled was 50% apple juice and orange juice 50%. ill let you know in 2 weeks whats it like . never used honey sound like a good idea
