23L WineXpert reserve California Enigma kit. TOTAL=10,020L

I really like the look of this and i have a couple of demijohns doing nothing so do you think if i halve this recipe it will work for 10 litres, and when did you add the glycerine?

Well all the bits are done and I’m onto the next stage now, re racked to demijohns for next couple of months to clear a bit more before bottling, at the moment it’s at .998 which gives it around 12.1 abv. Whether it will drop any more only time will tell. It tastes bloody lovely as it is and...

23l ipa 23lapa 23l rhubarb wine TOTAL=9679L

Thanks, yes i read the pack properly, i added B maybe a couple of hrs later. I plan on racking to demijohns in a couple of days, does anybody see a problem in doing this, is it too soon after adding finings?

Double zombie American ipa please.

I’ve made a rhubarb wine which has finished fermenting at .996 and I’ve re racked twice it’s now in the bucket awaiting transfer to demijohns so I’ve degassed it and am about to add some finings so quick question. Is it ok to add the finings A today in the bucket and finings B tomorrow in the...

I started my rhubarb wine 16/06/22 OG 1090, today i have just moved to secondary carboy it is now 998 on 26/07/22. I have just re racked to not let it sit on the yeast and any fallout for too long. So this is how it looks at the moment, I haven’t added any camden tablets yet so a couple of...

Yeah it seems too good to pass up, I wish I’d ordered a few now, i managed to get a california enigma, i see they also have a number of classic kits for £34

For anybody interested in kits, Brew2Bottle are selling winexpert reserve kits for £39 they should be around £75 but as they have a short bbe of october ‘22 i guess they want rid. seems a good deal if anyone is set to do some wine now.

Thanks for all your replies. The bottles were rinsed out then washed in a dishwasher, rinsed and sanitised with chemsan, the last brew i did was with a MJ M54 california lager yeast. I’ve opened 4 bottles so far and it’s as if theres a widget at the bottom, all the gas gushes from the bottom and...

Hi all, can anyone shed a bit of light. I did a extract kit MJ APA, fermented for just under 3 weeks at 20°C in my brew fridge, dry hopped for 4 days, cold crashed at 1° for 3 days and bottled for 3 weeks conditioning at room temp, however I’ve noticed in some bottles a little bit of stuff...

Hi frankie, just wondering did you get the hopcat in the end? I’m thinking of this as the 65l with all the extras is on for £499 at the moment. If you did take the plunge was it on pre order or did you get it in a decent time. I’m just waiting for a reply from them about order times. Cheers, Pete.

Thanks OB

After a 12 month+ lay off from brewing, for a couple of reasons, I’ve just done 2 extract kit brews from the Mangrove Jacks range that I’ve had in my fridge for around 12months or so. An IPA and an American pale ale. They went off ok and are both bubbling away nicely. The IPA is in my brew...

I’ve had a lager brew lagering in my fridge at around 2° for about 4-5weeks i plan on bottling in the next few days trying carb drops for the first time, I’ve taken it out of the fridge for a couple of days to raise the temp a bit to reactivate any yeast ready for carbonation but i want to try...

FG ended up at 1009 bringing it in at around 6%. At the moment it’s in secondary in my fridge at 2° I’ll be bottling it this week and leaving it for a month to condition, I’ve had a taste and it tastes pretty good lots of flavour even without carbonation. I did this as a bit of an experiment to...

Good to know ta. Have you brewed more than the regulation 23l in it yet.

How is the hopcat performing, I’m thinking of this as my next big purchase.
