This maybe useful - I made my 1st turbo cider last weekend, I wanted something around 7.5%, the apple juice was somewhere near1.046 original gravity tested with my hydrometer, using brewersfriend ABV calculator, assuming final gravity will be 1.000, I would need a 1.060 starting gravity...

Gelatin works incredibly well, as clear as commercial beer, but I suspect it's dropping flavour too so I stopped using it, after a few pints my Ales pour quite clear from my kegs.

I made my 1st turbo cider last weekend, I have bought some Splenda to back-sweeten, anyone have a rough guide as to how much of it to add to 20 litres to make medium-dry cider ?

Thanks I did that and it seems to be the pump, have fitted a new pump and all seems to be ok now,

Hi, thanks but I removed the coil spring and ball shortly after buying the GF so it can’t be that. Could you have a look to see if your connect controller has a pump on/off display on the screen ? I’m sure mine used to have it but not now, I hope I’m not just dreaming ! Thanks

Today’s brewday nearly turned to a disaster. When I switched the pump on to cool the wort and transfer to the fermenter via the CFC the pump didn’t work. I could hear a faint buzzing sound but the pump was not vibrating. I unplugged and tried several times but no luck. Eventually the pump did...

You will find a whole lot of opinions on when, how, what temperature, how long etc there’s no exact answer but I think the most common technique is to put them in for the last 3 - 4 days of fermentation, when the fermentation process would’ve completed.

Funny isn’t it, I had my first putty this weekend. Not much change from £10, I have to say I’m fed up with hazy hoppy NEIPAs but putty was probably the best NEIPA I’ve had, has a citrus effervescence that was really good. I have a Hoppin Frog Goose Juice clone in the keg, much more a west coast...

The long dip tube should be connected to the out, use a grey connector on the gas in and a black connector on the beer out line. Although some people swap the grey and black connectors, using a black connector down the out side as to push the CO2 up through the beer rather than at the top. I...

For grain I usually buy 25kg Extra Pale Maris Otter 2kg Vienna, Munich, Light Crystal, Carapils, Caragold, Flaked Oats Hops, I buy 1kg bags from GEB, they work out less that half the price of the 100g packs usually sold by homebrew suppliers, Centennial Chinook Citra Amarillo Mosaic you can...

I was concerned that leaving rehydrated yeast at room temperature for 5 Hours would kill it but thankfully it’s bubbling away nicely now. Note to self - make sure water supply isn’t frozen before starting brew day.

Brewed on Sunday 10th Jan, all went fine until I came to cool the wort, I have a counter-flow chiller with a UK garden hose attachment only so I usually just connect the counter-flow chiller to an external tap with a hose for every brew, pumping the wort through the chiller with my all-in-one...

Is this for a 5.5 US Gallon / 22 Litre batch ? that's a lot of dry hops !

These days eBay is set up to protect buyers not sellers. I sold an iPhone recently, perfect condition, boxed with charger, cable, and unused unopened headphones. After a month I got the email saying buyer wanted to return faulty goods, I was vey surprised but the buyer did not return my emails...

Yes you can make two 2 litre starters and store the first. It’s more efficient using the stir plate but I find making multiple starters such a faff I thought a single 4 litre using the shake method would suffice.
