I have used the wilkos finings a few times and it usually only takes a couple of days. But does vary on pulp content. The wilkos sachet is for 23l but I've seen a few people use the full sachet for a demijohn before with no reported issues. Sweetness is a personal preference and can vary from...

Deja vu

Chippy teas rose recipe is about £3 for about 6 bottles of wine.

Grape juice is in tinned peaches at Asda 56p a tin. Lidl do bigger tins that are better value but I don't know the price. Wilko sell concentrated grape juices for £5. Ritches produce a grape concentrate and supply many home brew stores at various prices. My point is you can make 6 (or more)...

I bottled it at 1.002 and added 5g sugar per litre. Next time I'm gonna add some nutrient and small amount of wine yeast at priming as a trial. Probably bulk prime with a teaspoon of each in once cooled.

I used a spare ale yeast, I think it was a wilko cerveza yeast and the turbo cider is excellent. My only gripe would be it's not overly fizzy. I bottled in 1lt Schweppes tonic bottles and they're firm but not hard. I'd say it's similar to mateus rose, sparkling wise that is.

Would it be that you're using too much juice? When I've used more than 3litres in a dj it's always been syrupy and too sweet. Perhaps try long with some soda water so it's not wasted! I wouldn't trust everything you watch on YouTube!

Snub nose. I am shockingly clumsy and probably oxygenate every brew I ever do!

Does anyone have experience with blackberries? I've seen a lot of them around my area that will be coming good in the next few weeks. I'm thinking of a red juice wine for Xmas and a blackberry and apple turbo cider. Mainly asking for quantities. I'm gonna sanitize and rince before freezing for...

Comprehensive bottling video.

The last time I went to Aldi they sold a hopped cider u could try to get idea of the flavour. That way u won't have 20l of cider u don't like.

As far as I'm aware David Heath is a member for this forum, if u wanted to reach out to him.

If u can get past the Americanisms and awful intro song he has some good beginner tips with reasons.

I wouldn't recommend using your dishwasher for any beer glasses. There's a reason pubs have seperate glass washers to the one in the kitchen. Best practise in a pub they renovate the glasses once a month with a strong chlorine based chemical similar to line cleaner for a few cycles. One chemical...

You also use this method to bulk prime, instead of trying it put half teaspoon of sugar in every bottle.

Some people are allergic/intollerant to preservatives so don't use sulphites at all, I think the only issues are if u haven't fully fermented the wine and u end up with bottle bombs and when keeping for over a year. Again im sure someone like chippytea will be able to shed more light on the...

Key beginner advice is stick with the ingredients stated until you're confident with your technique. That being said, you've done it now and you're extremely unlikely to get landlord on your first attempt. You will want to try stick to the 2+2+2 rule. That's 2 weeks fermentation, 2 weeks warm...

Timothy Taylor's landlord is 4.3% and the festival kit is a clone. Extra sugar will make your beer stronger but thinner. Although there are many other variables to consider.

Most people who dislike Turkish delight say it tastes like soap!

I don't think you have an issue, I'd imagine it's more down to u using rose. It's a common ingredients in many soaps/shampoos. My wife can't stand Corriander in anything (curries/stirfryletc) cause she says it tastes of soap. It doesn't, its pschosymantic, same as I could get past my...
