I was given a 25 pint brew kit last year. Just done it. Will be ready in about 3 weeks. Wish I'd remembered it a couple of weeks ago!

There is a high strength “turbo” yeast that brews between 18 and 23% in about 4 days.

It's just a Mangrove Jack's malt extract kit, with dry hops? The ferment is slowing down now, so about ready to bottle it!

I'm also hoping for a decent apple harvest this year, so I can make some more cider. Last year my two (young) trees only yielded 9 apples between them, whereas the previous year I had enough apples to squeeze out 7 litres of juice. You really can't beat producing your own cider from your own trees!
