I didn't mention White Wine Vinegar?

Signed

Yes its as I stated. Within three days the bottles are clear and the plastic bottles re-carbed. So I guess the shaking wakes up the yeast and it carries on working, I can only say what has happed to me!

I seem to have the same problem this year, very little fizz although I used the same recipe for the last three years with no problem. I have opened the screw top bottles, drop in a tea spoon of brewing sugar and resealed and given the bottle a really good shake. I did try ordinary sugar but the...

Actually bottled my MJ Juicy today day 18 in the FV went from 1.046 to 1.006 so around 5% used 500g Medium DME and 700g brewing sugar, really nice orange colour and smells great.

Yes I agree with everything you have said, I will bottling my second Juicy today after 14 days in the FV at around 22 degrees. Great beer and flavour, it now on my permanent stock list!

Its that cheap, I just use new every time!

35 days for me

I always put my bottles in a cold cupboard (Not Fridge) in the garage for two weeks and then place in the fridge as and when I want them

I have had this many times and after time it will clear I have never ended up with the problem after time!

Yes bleach and vinegar as previously stated

Yes that is correct but you MUST be VERY careful with the measurements and how you mix it, too much bleach and you will taste a hint of it in your beer!

I always brew Wherry short to 20ltrs, although a two tin kit and IMO makes it even better. 1.7kg brews I use all sorts to bring up the size, brewing sugar 1kg and DME 500g

I love the Wilko Winter beer kit as it is, strong, great flavour and dark, all good, I am still drinking it now since Christmas, great.

Yes I like the Nog although it can be an acquired taste for some!

Nelsons is alright but I think Admirals Reserve is far better IMO

Elderflower Champagne recipe 30 heads Elderflowers. 2kg Sugar. Zest & Juice of 5 lemons. 250ml White Grape Con. Water...

I just cut the flowers off the main stems so no thick stems in but the rest is ok, don't wash them.

My Nog started at 1.044 and ended after 17 days in the FV at 1.010 4.5% bang on what the instructions said. It is a really great old fashion English ale, very drinkable.

Once bottled treat as beer, keep in the warm for a week or so until carbed up and clear and then put in the fridge as you need them
