    Brewday: Rhubarb and ginger cider

    Looking good to bottle in the next day or so... starting to clear in the primary already. Think I'll batch prime with 350g sugar dissolved in as some warmed AJ and bottle on Thursday night

    Brewday: Rhubarb and ginger cider

    Ok dokey so it's not been quite a week yet but time to take an SG reading and a cheeky sample Down to 1.005 so should he done by early next week and tasting very nice. Tangy rather than tart with the rhubarb and an ever so subtle warm burn coming through from the ginger. Looking forward to...

    It'll clear in the bottle mate, so don't worry about that, espesh if your priming it [emoji3] I'd probably give it a couple of days, when I've cracked on with bottling when it's been under a week, it gave me a bit of the sh*ts hehe Yup it's 7.2% just now, a little more if you make it fizzy...

    Apple and mango TC

    I feel your pain mate ! I've made a few brews (TC and WOW) with pulpy stuff like mango, peach, orange (yuk) and the outcome's never really been worth the loss of volume cos of the cheesy sediment :(

    Cider - shelf life?

    I think my very oldest TC's are about 6 months old (not very old I know), and definitely taste better with a wee while in the bottle. There's not many left of course :mrgreen:

    Advice Needed: Blackberry Wine & Cider

    I always add pectolase to my WOW's AND use finings as well - whilst pectolase does deal with the pectin haze, it doesn't mean that the end result is crystal clear (it might if you left it for months and months I suppose). For me, I rack onto a campden tablet, add wine stopper (pot sorb), and...

    Brewnight: Strawberry WOW

    This chap's down to 0.990 so racked it last night and had a wee taste - pretty nice so far :) Racked onto 5 crushed campdens and added 2.5tsp youngs wine stopper, and gave it a bit of a mix. Will degas over the next couple of days with drill and wine whip, the add Kwik clear finings. Darn...

    Advice Needed: Blackberry Wine & Cider

    hello mate By the look of the SG's they're both finished primary... If I was you, I would rack the wine onto the required amount of crushed campdens (1 per gallon), add wine stopper (potassium sorbate) and leave to clear - using Kwik Clear/finings as you might usually use (?)...
