Can I ask how much you use per pint?

Hello, So, what's everyone's preferred method? I have just tasted a batch of my turbo cider that has been bottled for 2 weeks. I didn't back sweeten, and it is very dry. I have another currently fermenting, an apple and pineapple TC, and I would like to sweeten it slightly. I have some...

Ah thanks for that guys. Hopefully a couple days in the fridge will make they drop down. I did wonder if the britewort could make it happen? Just seems odd that non of my other brews have looked like this.

Hello, Just about to cold crash my beer for a couple of days before bottling. Removed the lid to have a peak, and this is what I saw: It's a biab sash. Red X malt with cascade. I also used some carapils for head retention. US-05 Yeast, brewed to about 8 litres . For the first time I tried...

Yeah, I did wonder about adding frozen fruit. Did you boil/mash them first? I brewed a ginger beer last month, which I have just finished drinking. I do like ginger, so I might give a ginger cider a try.

I have just made 1 gallon of turbo cider, sticking to the method used by the original poster. It seemed to ferment well, its currently in my fridge cold crashing, before I bottle. I fancy trying another batch. What else can I do/add in the next one? Can I use different juices, in combination...

Ludlow isnt too far from me and the brewery is a good visit. The castle is worth a look too! They seem to be doing all they can, providing a few pubs that do deliveries/take-outs with beer. My local has been selling a variety of their mini kegs since this all happened. Hopefully we won't see...

My local has been delivering 9pint mini kegs. So I have had a few pints of Ludlow gold.

Not a big cider drinker, but this is rather nice.

Stone Henge Sign of Spring. It's green.... A local micro pub have started to do deliveries. I ordered couple of pints of this, two pints of Izaak Zonker, both were on hand pull. And a couple of bottles too.

Hello, I purchased some Britewort finings to help clear my beer. I believe the ingredient in Britewort is Carrageenan. On the bottle it says add between ¼ and 1 tablet per 5 gallons (25 litres) of beer. I am brewing small biab batches, which produces approx 7-8 litres of beer at the end. How...

Quick update, put the fermenter in the fridge for a couple of days, then added 1/3 of a sheet of gelatine, that I had dissolved in 100ml of water. Left for another 48 hours in the fridge, then bottled today. Very happy with how it has worked,beer is extremely clear.

Would love one! Currently chilling my beer in the sink, which isn't ideal!

Hello, I have brewed a number of small 8 litre BIAB brews, and I have created some decent beer. But, they are not as clear as I would like. I shall be using protofloc for future brews. However, i currently have a brew that has been in the fermenter for 12 days. I have read that gelatine can...

Ha, it made me giggle when I was writing it. I did tell my girlfriend I was asking tips for more head on the internet, she seemed ok with it.

Thanks for that. Can the gelatine be of any type? I have some standard powdered beef gelatine in the cupboard, will that work, or does it need to be a specific sort of gelatine?

Another quick question, I have a batch currently sitting in my fermenter. Is their anything I can do or add during bottling that will help clear my beer? I understand trish moss and protofloc can only be added during the boil, is there anything that can be added when I bottle?

Chilling is something I have found difficult. I am currently chilling in the sink and changing the water every so often. Due to the size of the sink, it can take a while to drop the temp.

Thanks for the advice. I shall give protaloc and a head retaining malt a try. Due to brewing smaller batches, I shall have to lower the amount. I am brewing 8-ish litre batches, so starting out with 12 litres in by boiling pot. My grain bill is usually around 2KG. How much crystal/wheat malt...

Hello, I have brewed a few small batch BIAB's and I could use some advice. I am currently drinking my first batch, a maris otter cascade smash. It had 14 days in primary before bottling bottled, left for two weeks at room temp,then moved into my garage where its cooler. It's currently been...
