If I do I will send you a bottle.. it could be alright I reckon ;)

I was scooping out the ginger bits in readiness for bottling and there was a fair bit of froth and what not on top. Like I mentioned the little thing literally disappeared. Hoping he went in the pot with the rest of the discarded ginger bits and froth. bottling tonight or maybe tomorrow so...

As I understand the nettles do need to be young and just the tops, going to have to get that done next year then.. free beer, Happy days!!

It's like having a baby, you want it to come out just right.. chances are it will so try not to panic!! just enjoy the soon to be enjoyed deliciousness

on the plus side you will be more susceptible to the effects of you brews so will only need a few to get properly leathered, plus you will use less soap if you have lost 10kg.... less to wash and all that!!

well that ain't bad, she was happy me paying £4 a shot or £12 a bottle... I wasn't though..

I don't know to be certain, but as I understand it if you use standard bread yeast then because it has a lower attenuation level you should end up with a sweeter cider and less of the sugars turn to alcohol. That said your lhbs cant be too far away surely??? I have loads of champagne yeast...

if it is a can kit you can (just as steve said) leave them out again and they will be fine.. after a couple of weeks get a couple tasted to be sure ;)

So going to have to do this. My missus loves mead and she cost me a fortune last time we had some, that said honey isn't cheap is it? What is the overall cost of a batch of this?

A real brewer, what could you possibly mean?? Hello and welcome fella!

if you are doing a standard can kit, don't worry about the fridge. Just use it to put your ready to drink beer in, ie once it has conditioned for a few weeks. ambient temps are generally ok in the majority of spots, mine is bubbling like a bugger downstairs at anything between 18'c and 24'c...

yeah, up until you start getting ick follow up the tube, then leave it be... I just wash mine out straightaway, although I have heard of the sediment being used to start of something else. I would be interested to know more about that bit myself!

I can't be banned from the picture framing forum so I can comfortably say surely that he is a 'S*!&&"*g F*!"£&"^g C*!"weasel' not on your behalf but just for being in agreement. Can't stand nosey **** types like that. you can type what you bloody well want where ever you want unless we have...

I was being slightly flippant as the bugger disappeared but it clearly is a bug bear of yours..... Hell I am not keen on infection either but the little sod just went so nothing I can do now, first time in all the stuff I have done that they appeared.. strange coincidence that it was literally...

hurrah for turbo cider.... just watch that bugger bubble... even when you top up it goes again... brilliant!!

banned again! for arguing about picture framing.. man you are a wild individual... :D

Hurrah for beer!! I had a little fruit fly issue when clearing my pulp from my ginger beer last night, the bugger disappeared.... hope he didn't fall in...extra protein perhaps??

my joke was still better than yours :P although my dad was dyslexic too so I spent a lot of my childhood swearing, I just loved it when he washed my mouth out with soup..

yeah, perhaps we should all get out more perhaps as opposed to sitting indoors brewing and drinking our beer whilst chatting amiably with other like minded chaps on here.... wait a minute...

a fine reason to go to uni in itself I reckon!
