I read that if you let it ferment and then use a Campden Tablet?

I want to brew something nice and sweet before the Summer ends. How would I go about making a sweet Apple Cider that has a fairly decent kick? athumb..

ah......I didn’t take a proper reading. It just said it was ready to make Beer so 1.035/ 1.040 and then it was 1.005 for the fg?

Hello Sir! Apologies for being a bit MIA. Just checked the Beer and did another OG reading and it says it’s done! I’ve just put some Beer Finings into it so will leave it for a few more days and then Bottling! Still kinda confused how I tell what’s the ABV of the Beer though? With the Cider it...

I bought this dude..... https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/woodfordes-real-ale-starter-beer-brewing-kit-20-pints/p/0453206

There was some on Saturday but it’s gone nowz. No signs of anything. Could it be too cold? Do I need to give it a stir?

Well it’s that kit I got from Wilko’s and it had no hole for an Airlock so I’ve just put the lid on and followed the instructions :oops:

I made up a batch of Woodfordes Wherry the other day and on the Saturday I had a peak and their was a Krausen on top. Had a peak today and there was no signs of action. Have I ballsed this up?!?

When I bottle it, it’ll clear and I can create some Fizz athumb..

So I made a batch of TC last Wednesday and in the videos I saw etc it said it would be about a week. Just checked it and it seems ready now......obviously apart from the Hydrometer test could that be so? Does that mean I can bottle it etc? athumb.. No fermentation going on so......yeah? clapa

The first reading was 1.040 which told me it was ready to make Beer! athumb.. Had a bit of action yesterday but today it has gone down again, I’ve seen that it’s a common occurrence so nothing to worry about wink... Thanks all of you for being so patient. I appreciate the fact you’ve all been...

I would defo want to give that a try at some point! Elvis Juice is EPIC! Not great if you have a bit too many though ashock1

So I’m waiting for my first batch of TC to be done (Should be ready for Bottling Wednesday) and I’m hooked! Was sat in the Garden and thinking towards the Autumn and Christmas and was thinking of different flavour ideas. How about a Winter Cider? Sort of like Mulled Wine but it would only be...

The point I’m trying to make though is Whoodfordes Wherry is an ale so it’s not supposed to be fizzy?!?

Last question then and it’s not covered there. I put Sugar in before the Yeast. When I bottle it should I add some more Sugar then? It won’t make it too sweet?

Well from reading the instructions it doesn’t require a lot of Sugar so I was thinking that I wanted it to have a bit of kick so I added the Sugar and Spray Malt. How long should I leave it in the FV then?!? :?:

Well.......I did it all today and I added 125g Brewing Sugar and 125g Spray Malt. I was reading the instructions again and it says leave it to do it’s thing for a week, bottle it (Add Sugar Then!) and leave for another 2 x weeks until it clears. I haven’t messed it up by putting the Sugar in...

Cheers dude. Couldn’t work out how link the picture as it was asking for a URL :?:

So I’ve just done my first ever Brew! Granted it was Cider but the question applies to Beer too. How do I know (or get a rough idea) how strong something will be? I did my first hydrometer reading and all I can understand is that it may be sweet can anyone explain and/or make any head or tail...

I’ve got all the basic things I need. Just waiting on the yeast and the yeast nutrient, will let you guys know how it goes acheers.
