I have never sanitised caps in 15 x 40 bottles and never spoiled any. Touch wood obviously

Sounds lovely - could i ask how long have you had that thermometer and is it reliable? I have just bought the same one after my last one (different kind) broke half way through my first ever AG??

I was going to reply but as Scott has said this then I dont need to - I used carb drop in mexican cerveza and had to re-open every bottle and re-prime with my trusty caster sugar to get any kind of fizz. I would recommend a big bag of caster sugar which will last for 5 or so brews. And...

I would say ditch the 330ml bottles they are such a faff, after the sediment lay-off there will only be a half pint at most to pour into your glass. Use pint bottles or 660ml and share if you have to. Either way it takes ages to bottle em all

In theory DME should be pretty much a direct replacement for dextrose, as should BKE. However i usually add 1-200g extra DME when using instead of dextrose.

Has anyone tried a version of these using the double concentrate robinsons juice??

For the wifey. I have some polish umbongo and some cheap apple juice for my cider :D

23l - definately no preservatives in the cranberry andi have used it before with great success in my cider

I have got a Ritchies Straswberry and Lime kit on the go which i used with 1kg dextrose, 1.5l of cranberry and 1.5l of cheapo asda apple juice and some vanilla extract. It has been in the FV for arounde 36 hours but there is not a lot going on, a bubble maybe every 5 minutes and no head at all...

DME is broken up much better in cooled boiled water around 30-40 degrees, if it is too hot it goes clumpy

Hahahaha - brilliant :cheers:

I had an issue with my Cooper's Cerveza - it was cloudy as hell for around 8 weeks. However after this time it cleared down and is now crystal. Therefore i would just recommend leaving it longer (and get another brew on in the meantime) :cheers:

Only done one with the £24 one but its great :cheers:

Extra light DME

Hello and welcome to a great forum :party:

Its very good with the ED DME. Treacle is good too :)

Forza

Used to - before i started brewing beer :roll: Same tag as my username if you want to add me :cheers:

I would say it will be plenty - i used two packs of S04 in my recent first AG of 27l and it had fully fermented in 3 days - much to quick i would say :grin:

Hello - i used 700g BKE1 500g Pre-Hopped Muntons Extra Light DME 30g Saaz Hop Tea Bottled with 1 carb drop. I wouldnt even go near it for at least 8 weeks, any time before this and it really tastes like homebrew. I tried one bottle after four weeks and it smelt of eggs. From week 8 onwards...
