Plastic fermenter, Iv binned it !

It’s for the drain 😩. Just done a gravity reading and it’s bottomed out,, Tastes dry and sour.

Thanks for the advice, il give it a taste test 1st and if ok il go for it 👍🏽

It’s pure white and silk thin. I’m gonna be bottle priming so u think it be ok..

Hi all After 3 years I guess it was gonna happen.. It’s a raspberry ale that I pulped 4 bags of frozen raspberries in a saucepan which I brought to the boil. Is it for the drain or can I salvage it ?? It smells really good 😩

I use winexpert kits from Malt Miller which I find excellent. check out the video Three ranges to choose from with plenty of styles. They do 6 bottle kits but I’d honestly go all in and get the 30 bottles,,, You won’t be disappointed...

I 2nd Normanhurst recommendation. I use Windsor & Nottingham for my London Pride clone

After snapping off the access shoots on my Cascade vines I popped them in a jar of water, the cuttings started rooting after 2 weeks, I then popped them into pots and after another 2 weeks they’re thriving !.. The plan is next year I’m gonna plant them down the railway walk hopefully they’ll go...

Because ur in the land of sun maybe get the kviek out.

Yeah all good ,, half dozen new shoots up

Iv cut them back,, thx for the feedback

Hi all I have two hop plants growing in the garden. After last years harvest I never cut back the vines. The reason for this is because they are relatively new plants and I read that to help the root system get the most out of the seasonal sunshine it’s was best to pick the cones rather than...

Yeah, pitch at 24’C for 24 hours then reduce

I guess it will stop the froth when u pour, but bottom line is it will be still under carbonated.. lesson learned 🙄

Iv got a lager in my pressure barrel at the moment (S30) but it will be the first and last time. Iv found it to be under carbonated and because I doubled up the elastic on the pressure release I’m pulling froth monsters out of the tap.

Surprised by that EC1118 is usually a beast. Your SG isn’t too high for 1118 so should have zero’d that out.. Worth checking your hydrometer in water, it maybe giving you a false reading 🤷🏼‍♂️, check the use by date on packet 🤷🏼‍♂️,, check ur juice packet maybe some unfermentable sweetener in...
