:groupdancing:Oo yes please, I hope I win

Yes, as JCR says 100% juice or juice from concentrate , I've used Tesco ,Aldi and Lidl juices, where ever I'm working closest too at time of purchasing. Generally gives about 6.2%

Add the fruit to the turbo cider or in the form of fruit juices or, as many members on here do, lowitz .I've done a couple using 1ltr of Tesco forest fruit juice and 4 ltrs AJ to make a 5ltr batch.Turns out very nice.athumb..

Hi Bisonhead, have you thought about doing turbo cider? Just get pure apple juice from the supermarket and add cider or ale yeast.

After cold crashing for a couple of days in the garage, I bottled the brew this morning, I used 150g table sugar dissolved in 500ml water, added to bottling bucket and transferred the brew onto it giving 21 ltrs. The sample I took from FV whilst transfering tasted excellent. Obviously it was...

Hi I just checked Gravity and It's still at 1012 so I've switched the water bath off now and letting it cold crash and aim to bottle on Saturday.

Hi, I checked gravity on mine on Saturday ,down to 1012, I decided to give it another week before bottling,it may drop a bit more, maybe not. Smelt really good,looked a little dark in the FV but this may have been due to the light.

That's a shame, but definitely shouldn't be like that.. I've no idea what it is,or why it's occured though.

Hi Patrick, it's hard to tell from the photo but is the mass at the bottom loose?, It's not just sediment stirred up from handling the bottles?

Our local ,which was very poorly managed but had a great bunch of regulars who used to get in there, never re opened after the first lockdown, it's now boarded up and looks like it's been abandoned. Were just hoping it re-opens as a pub again as rumours are rife it'll be turned into apartments.

Yes 2.5g ,it is bubbling now so hopefully all's well. Packet (5g) says suitable for 5gallons! Bit stingy of me to only use half of it I know!:rolleyes:

Looks good Dave athumb..

That's great J. I suddenly felt this morning as if I hadn't. It's bubbling nicely now, I'll let it ferment out then rack..yes seems quite straightforward now:oops:

Yes,spotted the headspace in the bottle, I'm sure they'll be fine but aim to fill into the neck, I use a bottling wand, fill to the top of bottle ,pull wand out and they're perfect.Well done though on first brew and second straight underway .athumb..

Hi all, After picking blackberries one afternoon last year I simply sealed them into bags and stuck them in the freezer. Yesterday I finally got around to using them to make some wine but am now wondering how this will turn out. I placed the frozen berries(2kg+100g of frozen blackcurrants) into...

'Simply' pale ale + 500g light DME and 250g sugar. it's not bad at all, bottled it on 17th December .

'Simply' Pale Ale +500gDME ,250g sugar. It's not half bad at all, bottled it on 17th December.

Is this the New Zealand pilsner? Think I put them in on day 12 and left them for 4 or 5 days but I've decided if I do this kit again I'd only use half the hops or maybe even less it's so hoppy.Ive never had a NZ pilsner so didn't realise they're that hop heavy.(or is it just this kit)?

Hi, I always used to use a quarter crushed campden tab for 23 ltrs but then decided to try it without as our tap water tastes and smells fine.I haven't noticed any difference in the taste of the kits I do ,so I just use it straight from the tap know.

Hi, as it's a 3kg all malt kit I'd brew it as it is and save the spraymalt for a cheaper single can/pouch kit . I use table sugar for priming with no problems. All the best with it and let us know how it turns out.athumb..
