Well the joke is on you, because it's a proven fact that the Earth isn't round. It's more of an oblate spheroid.

Hi @LisaMC As our most experienced Mojito Kilju brewer, can you advise your latest thoughts on the best recipe and process to use please?

Aside from the odd early sample for "research purposes" I always try to keep bottles for at least 4 weeks (2 warm and 2 cool) before I start drinking a beer.

Does FPTP necessarily stop that though? In the last decade we have had two UK governments that relied on deals with smaller parties (Lib Dems and DUP). And I seem to recall the Tories making the claim that voting for Labour would lead to a Labour/SNP coalition taking power.

Sounds good - can you share the recipes please? Always useful to know exactly which juices/drinks work well in these wines.

My views on our voting system are the same as the last time I posted about this: Cummings testimony

Caffeinated low alcohol beer? Now there's an idea...

I had one of these bought for me by accident - my other half saw it on offer whilst shopping and misread it as 5%! Gave it a go and must admit that I also found it to be thin and not very nice.

So essentially the advice seems to be to add a little bit of regular dried beer yeast to each bottle.

Some yeast or some beer? Either sounds great! :D

Some more searching about Kveik leads me to ask whether anyone has had an issue with beer not bottle conditioning properly due to the very high flocculation not leaving enough yeast in the bottle? Or is this just theoretical speculation and not a real world problem when using Kveik?

I've got a heatpad and Inkbird so with the warm room and heat from the fermentation itself I would hope that a steady temperature of at least 25C would be achievable.

Interesting - so literally no filtering stage at all. Sounds promising!

So would I be ok mashing up the strawberries, adding the yeast, leave for a week, rough filter through a sieve then syphon into a demijohn? (I'm assuming some sort of filtering is necessary to avoid leaving a lot of juice behind in the pulp) Then rack off into a second demijohn after 10 days to...

Has anyone used Kviek to ferment a beer kit and if so how did it turn out? Does it work better for pale or dark styles or is it ambivalent? The temperature in the room where I normally brew doesn’t seem to be dropping below 23C since "summer" arrived, so without a brew fridge any fermentation...

By the way, I froze, defrosted, squashed and filtered the strawberries to extract the juice before adding the yeast. I don't know if that is better or worse than fermenting the "whole" strawberries first before filtering when it's time to rack off to a demijohn.

Are you planning to pour it into the demijohn rather than syphoning? I would imagine sucking whole strawberries through a tube could be a challenge... :-)

I don't generally partake of low alcohol beers (or anything really!) but for what it is this stuff is actually surprisingly acceptable: https://www.bristolbeerfactory.co.uk/products/clear-head-12-pack

I'm probably going to make my second batch of strawberry wine soon. The most tedious part of the process the first time was filtering the must once I had squashed the strawberries to get the juice out. I did this in two stages, first a rough filter through a sieve to get rid of the solids and...
