I let it ferment out fully or stop it and use fermentation stopping additived if you want to keep a certain sweetness and flavour. I bottle and prime then to carbonate. As said much more control and less sediment that if you leave long enough or use finings really clears up and any residual...

to be fair its easy enough to do 150 miles if motorway outside peak times I a, not saying i do it often but i drive a 70 mile route to see my kids but with the hills its zaps battery power, so need most of my capacity to get there and back as waiting hours to charge up in the ex's town is not...

I have found CML cider yeast to be a winner never fails and retains the flavour cheap as well perfect size for smaller DJ batches

Cheers but as I bottle carbonate cider any sugar gets used by the yeast If i stop the fermentation, then i can bottle carb and she likes fizzy cider. Might try using as the priming sugar

Yeah best before is not hard and fast expiry date, common sense needs to be applied and nature is very good at giving us indications of when not to consume something lol

SWMBO has started drinking Strong Bow tropical cider a cider with mango and pineapple flavours that she likes and don't mind. Question is can i make this as home-brew? I am getting good results with turbo cider my only fear adding pineapple and mango is that it will ferment pout and lose the...

As said sweetener can really help dry wines don't use too much tho

does it not have a lot of unwanted flavours tho? being out of date it might not be as potent could try it I guess

not too different to mine only suggestion be maybe try some more cable ties so reach from top to bottom than just the bottom?

Yes can use either a homemade wand is quicker

A plastic coat hanger is the easiest way and dead simple just heat and bend the plastic, only issue with wood is will absorb the wine and hard to get it all out. If using a wand with a drill short busts a few seconds then the opposite way, it will foam up let it settle go again, you will see...

yep made something similar forma coat hanger and cables ties slim enough to fit in a DJ and works a treat. Degassing makes difference with wine as said it settles quicker and lose that home brew smell and taste soi much I now do it with cider

Can't say for bitter but for stout replacing sugar with DME gives it nice depth and body compared to sugar

I leave my wines for weeks yes in fact make that months when treated lol

Yes that was my point if an active system cuts the throttle on an ICE it gently reduces speed well depends on the speed and aero drag etc and so on. BUT in EVs this could be a huge issue as regen can be more powerful than brakes and could effectively brake test other cars and take the driver by...

the old 2 week rule was best advice i got in here no matter what give it 2 weeks in the FV it wont do it any harm and only stop when either fermented out or the sweetness you desire

yes some ciders can rattle through VERY quickly but give time to settle down
