@Stevieboy in your first picture it looks like you're with Ade Edmondson and Tyson Fury!

Hi Adam, it sounds like you're doing ok with your cider.You will find it improves a lot with ageing and conditioning but first time I made some ,the bulk of it didn't get the chance because I couldn't wait to drink it!.I ferment mine in a plastic Fermentation bucket and then after a couple of...

Hi @Fredaford have you thought about trying making 'turbo cider'?. Apple juice from supermarket and yeast (cider or ale), lots of threads on here with loads of advice I've always had good results with Turbo but have not made a kit so can't compare it.

CCR... John Fogerty's voice is superb!

Hi, American Amber ale please ,many thanks

It does feel like hard work at times.

We used to build a huge bonfire in 'the backs' just a few feet from people's gates, sometimes another gang would come and try to light it up before the 5th,the older lads stayed on guard all night once it was built.

Steady on @devexwarrior , I certainly didn't want or intend to upset anyone, it was a genuine thought.

I was listening to the radio the other day and a chap was on advertising an organised bonfire and fireworks display.He said that they have a thousand tons of timber to set fire to.Im not sure if he meant a hundred tons but either way that's a lot of carbon going into the air at a time when we're...

Hi, the kits or Wows I've done it's usually room temperature in summer, so maybe 20'-23' ,DJ will heat up a bit during fermentation as well but only a degree or so. As a matter of interest,what are you making?

Hi @clyne , be prepared for what may initially be quite a harsh tasting cider after fermentation. It will improve massively with conditioning ,in my case its months as opposed to weeks though its well worth waiting for.Did you take a SG reading?

Hi, Red rebellion for me, I'm excited,!!

I'll give it a go that way next time @Cwrw666 athumb..
