    Banana wine

    I'd imagine you're right and it's egg powder and therefore more akin to a thickener than actual egg. Might end up with a richer mouthfeel with no actual egg flavour.

    Banana wine

    I don't know if I'm stating the obvious but doesn't lemon curd contain eggs.

    Recommend me a stainless FV to go with my all-in-one!

    How Do Commercial Breweries Bottle Condition?

    If you do some research on here, there are some yeasts that are known to be very sticky. I don't know any myself but I've seen it discussed at length in a few threads. I was really impressed with crossmyloof Cali common but I've only used it once so wouldn't say it's tried and tested. I've also...

    MJ New Zealand Pilsner Hop addition

    I've been tempted with Motueka in the past for a previous brew but chickened out and went with Mosaic cause I knew I liked it! Might be the time to bite the bullet.

    MJ New Zealand Pilsner Hop addition

    Hi all! I'm looking for a Pilsner dry hop addition suggestion as the general consensus is that this kit is a bit flat flavour wise. I was gonna go with a standard Saaz but am open to any suggestions with reasons. If I'm not asking too much. One hop I want to avoid is the "weedy" (As my wife...

    My First Extract Brew: American Blonde?

    Couldn't you just boil hops in water? Again forgive my ignorance but isn't the presence of sugar/malt/adjuncts redundant? In AG aren't you boiling for reduction of wort and sanitation. With x hops at x min intervals surely you're just getting different levels of bitterness and oils irrespective...

    My First Extract Brew: American Blonde?

    Pardon my ignorance but could you not just add boiling water to LME in the FV rather than boiling at all. If everything is sanitary isn't boiling LME unnecessary?

    Lager brewing

    Someone, I'm sorry I forget who, mentioned a chemical in washing up liquid called bitrex that kills head in glasses. The main reason pubs have glasswashers and dishwashers is so no "fat" Should end up in the glasswashers. A good pub won't wash anything in the glasswashers other than glassware...

    Supermarket Juice Wine How To guide and Recipes.

    I use the mineral water for pale ale/lager kits and the container for wows. I don't bother with an air lock I just don't screw it too tight. I use the chippyt method of only making it up to 4l then top up after first few days. Not had a foam over yet touch wood!

    Aldi Punk IPA copy, anyone tried it ?

    I think the Yaldi IPA is made by brew dog. The Aldi sourced one was called "Anti Establishment IPA" or something and brew dog had them via Twitter.

    Turbo cider help

    Check the turbo cider recipe thread. Someone was gonna do an experiment a few months back because a few people had issues with low carbonation. I had a similar issue as mentioned above and I used 5g per litre. Next time I'm gonna add a few teaspoons of nutrient and possibly some wine yeast day...

    Turbo cider help

    Brewmaster Ben on YouTube did a trial on various yeasts: This is the results video. Other forumites swear by a cider yeast with sweetener from ebay. I don't know it exactly but it's on the turbo cider recipe thread.
