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!!
@@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.
@@RobKingHomebrew thanks, I’ve been making wines and ale’s from kits for many years now and have just recently started making apple cider from apple juice from cartons from the supermarket and these have come out great just finished one and has a 7.8% will be trying out the apple and pear juice this weekend 👍

@@asterixborden-koi6881 sounds fabulous, I really enjoy a turbo cider and experimenting with different flavour additions
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
Hiya. The mini-keg and dispensing lid were both from Get 'Er Brewed. www.geterbrewed.com/stainless-steel-mini-keg-4-litres
...and www.geterbrewed.com/stainless-steel-mini-keg-dispensing-lid-with-ball-lock-fittings/

Dont need to boil it no extra sugar needed
