ok i made some slider to see what it was like. Smells a bit more potent than the cider did!
Does any one know how long it lasts for once it is bottled?

its is down to the % alcohol used combined with do you want to drink the Slider with a slight effervescence or flat.
I tend to put Cider in it ( Co-op 2 Ltr )give it a good swill / leave it a day then sieve/ tea strainer from the Demijon to the Glass ( yes DJ, I make 4 Lr Batches at a time.
Once thats gone ( few hours after drinking ) I add another 2ltrs and mash up the fruit a bit more and leave for a week.
