Racking time
I’ve finally gotten around to racking this batch of mead. Tasting it I find it tastes more like red wine than anything else but I think that would be down to the yeast I used, it tastes pretty hot (I think that’s what they call it) for the moment and one case it’ll be tasting hotter! 
I’ve learnt a good bit from this first brew in both doing it and researching more, the next one should move a little faster.
I’ve racked it off to 5 demi’s as I had planned, the fifth about 3/4 full. 3 of them have been flavoured
1. Mixed fruit – 350g of strawberry, blackberrys, and raspberrys.
2. 1 Vanilla pod
3. 1 Habenaro chilli (I got two of them but went with the safer option )
The fourth one might get some mango but that can wait. After about an hour all the airlocks seem to have activity in them, especially the fruit one.
Now to sit back and wait some more, hoping they all turn out drinkable 
I’ve also attempted some Turbo Cider. Tesco’s had pure pressed apple juice, the cloudy kind, so I got 5 litres of it to try out. I’ve half filled a demijohn and added nutrient and wine yeast, it’s recommended to leave it for 24-48 hours so the vigorous fermentation has passed but I have a feeling that the rest will need to be added in two stages so it doesn’t fountain.
