Hi guys, i am about to knock up a Muntons Pilsner larger and i thought i would try using spray dried malt instead of sugar. The guy at the home brew shop said that he would use a mix of Spray dried malt and Glucose powder, do you think that's a good idea? Could any one tell me what amounts of...

One of the guys on here told me a wile back, if you want to make a lower % beer from a kit, just had half the recommended amount of sugar and you will get a brew of about 1%, would that be weak enough for you?

Its right there at the bottom of the page, i am really surprised they sent it to you, but like the others guys here i got mine from my local chemist no problem, although i did have to order it. I actually thought that they had goose'd me, the bottle was only 3/4 full, but i have just noticed...

Thanks sue, your help is its greatly apreciated.

I have tried it, i have one growing in my garden right now, i planted mid summer last year, and it produced nothing at all. I left it in the ground to die off,thinking the frost would kill it off, but it over wintered and came straight back this spring, but once again no fruit so far and i think...

Hi, i am looking for a bit of advise regarding making Blackberry wine, part of the instructions are here below, what i would like to know is, the 3rd instruction says (add 4 pints of water) but it does not say whether it should be Cold Water or Boiling water, would any one know which it should...
