if youve got the time mate deffinatly give it a go, my grandad used to make his own cider and wine a hell of alot stronger than whats in the shops, get some great smells too lol

We did this about a year or 2 ago when i was at uni. All I can say is I still have my sight, most tasted not great and I had some remarkable hangovers attributed to them!

Give it a bash mate!

I gave it a try a few years back. Tasted ok (ish), as stated, gives the worst hangover you will EVER have.

It is a crack though.

i gather the hangover is due to the tannin or sediment - time for a bulk buy of apple juice and have a go at some turbo cider

Turbo Cider, like the sound of that

should be ok the longer you leave it, you need to filter it quite a few times and let it settle, thats why it takes soo long but well worth it
