GET THE "ELDERFLOWER SPARKLE" LAB SHEET: 🧪💰https://buymeacoffee.com/rainfordsbrewlab/e/533097 Premium 5.8% Apple & Elderflower Cider for pennies using Aldi supermarket juice. In this session of the Brew Lab, we’re proving that high-end botanical cider doesn't need to take months. By shunting Aldi Apple & Elderflower juice with a precise sugar addition and using professional Mangrove Jack’s M02 Cider Yeast, we achieved a crystal-clear, floral, and potent 5.8% cider in just 5 days. This is the ultimate "High-Speed" botanical brew. We skip the weeks of conditioning and go straight to force-carbonation, resulting in a crisp, champagne-style finish that preserves the delicate elderflower aromatics. In This Video: 🌸 The 5-Day Protocol: How we went from pitch to pour in under a week. ⚖️ The Sugar Shunt: Calculating the 70g boost to hit a perfect 1.044 OG. 🧪 Yeast Selection: Why M02 is the secret to keeping those floral smells alive. ⚡ Carbonation Secret: Force-carbonating in 500ml plastic bottles for a perfect fizz.
