    Looks like I have to pour this away? :(

    Yeah it’s gone now 😢 I was a bit wary of it just in case!

    It didn’t taste too bad! But it poured thick and took some sediment with it into the glass. interesting point about pectin. Next year I’m going to be extra careful with sanitising everything, use correct amount of campden tablets, pectin and yeast nutrient 🤞

    Looks like I have to pour this away? :(

    Hiya, no, not just sediment, it’s quite lumpy when poured out 😬 Think I have to face up to it and pour the lot away. Was just clinging on that there might be a tiny thread of hope to save it 😂 So much work making it, last years batch was excellent too!

    Looks like I have to pour this away? :(

    I used campden tablets at the start, when crushing and pressing the fruit, left the juice for a day before adding yeast. Then let it ferment out and racked and bottled with priming sugar, so no campden tablet here. Has anyone had this happen to them? It’s not looking good but after all the...

    What do you think?! It’s from mixed apples, some pears, bottled in October, kept in cool dark place since then and was ok a month ago - clear, tasted ok, but with a slightly off smell to it perhaps sulphury. This is heartbreaking ☹️!

    Brilliant, thank you! I’ve never used cascade hops before and wanted to really taste them but keep some balance.

    Is there a special forum place for brewing 'orrible stuff in bottles...

    To get away from ginger ale and closer to ginger beer you can put more ginger in. Simmered from grated root ginger is good. It varies in strength though so difficult to give set amount. I put 1kg into 20 litres with 25g ginger powder. For sweetness can add something that won’t ferment, like...

    Pear Cider advice

    I’m no expert Steve, on my second batch of mixed pear and apple cider this year, but think all you can do is give it time to settle out, rack off the sediment and use finings. Because pear fruit gives lots of tiny particles during pressing it’s always going to get through the mesh bag.

    Blackcurrant Wine from frozen fruit

    Might be worth a go to make a light 'rose' with additions of white grape juice / concentrate, sultanas, somethingvlike that. I've not done it, sounds like a nice experiment to try. I think the blackcurrants would give colour still, no idea how it would taste! Love to hear how it turns out if you...
