Thats great do u dilute it? Thats the stuff we had from tesco. Just notice in there homebrew section they have steriliser for £1.98 which is good.

Just a quick question, has anyone used baby sterilising fluid for sterilsing equipment as ive got 2 bottles left over that wont be used again.

Thanks for the replies i thought i should just leave it well alone. I might try the peach style WOW when ive got a spare demijon, think im also going to try the WOW itself as not done that yet.

Just need some advice, i started fermentation of the peach wine last sunday and it is still bubbling away. The reading on the hydrometer is now at 1020 after 7 days. I have been reading that it shouldnt be lefit on the sediment to long so should i move it to a new demijon or just leave it some...

Going to start this in the morning and im only going to do 1 demijon just to try it. Sent the misses to get the syrup today also just been given 4 demijons free of charge. ( from a very kind woman).

I done mine in 500ml glass bottles, i have brought them back indoors so will give it a couple of weeks amd test it again.

Thanks, So if i bring these back indoors for a couple of weeks do you think they might come back to life?

I have brewed the above lager and it has been in bottles outside for 3 weeks and i opened a tester bottle this morning and it is flat. Any suggestions on how i can save it and make it fizzy?

Hi all, Does anyone know if there are any events in cheshire throughout this year? Many thanks

Where did u buy this kit from i fancy giving it a try? Is it just as easy as brewing with any malt syrup kit?

Hi dave, Think i will try the heritage lager seems to have some good reviews, what did u brew it with?

Please can u advise, I have done 2 lager kits which are the youngs lager and the coopers mexican cerveza, I want something inbetween the 2 but dont have now decided i dont want to try the coopers european lager till the weather warms up as my misses would go mad with the eggy smell. I also...

Right i understand now, im just using lager kits at the moment and will be for the near future. I will just go straight into bottling bucket to prime and then straight into bottles. Think i going to try the european lager next so will see how that goes with the proper lager yeast and low...

So if using a secondry FV is outdated was is the best way? As a newby i dont want to cause oxidisation but i thought you went to a second FV to get rid of alot of the **** before bottling. Is it best to go from primary straight to bottling bucket and batch priming from there? Hope this makes sense.

Whilst on the topic of priming which is best to use? granulated or brewing sugar to bottle prime. Just about to bottle my mexican cerveza.

Does anyone know how much sugar is best to put in to make it around 5% or if there is a calculator i can use for future

Thanks Moley, Gonna make 5 gollon of this so should i use 5 times the amount of each item? Not sure about using 2kg of sugar though. Does anyone know how much sugar is in the actual syrup to take into account?

I have recently done the cheeky vimto which turned out very nice and the misses loved it but want to try something else along these lines. I have seen somewhere on the internet (cant find it again) that you can use this polish rasberry syrup amd make a such rasberryade. I was wondering whether...

Lol great last post, what is the reason for using caster sugar? Instead of brewing or plain granulated?

Thanks for the advice Bitter Lover. Going to check it this morning to see if it has started as i dont have an air lock on it yet. Does anyone know what size hole the airlock bungs fit into so i can fit an airlock to my FV for next brew?
