anyone tried red grape juice form sainsburys - its 80p for the "from concentrate" stuff?

well this was bottled with some extra lowicz for priming and left for about a month, the missus is very happy with the results so I will be doing the strawberry and lime one again. Only thing I will change is extra lowicz and a teaspoon of sugar per 500ml pet as its not very carbonated.. it does...

£37.60 at maltmiller inc delivery for 16kg malt, 3kg flakes £35.99 at brewuk if anyone is interested :-)

I dont see crushed wheat malt, I do see wheat malt https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=38 Could I just use a blender in place of crushing it? **ignore me - there's a drop down for crushing - doh**

Does anyone know of a single supplier of both wheat flakes and crushed and malted wheat? I can't find a single supplier that does both and only wanted to pay one delivery charge. I need 12kg of wheat flakes and 3kg of crushed malted wheat thanks.

Yes. I will rack of the yeast and sediment into another vessel purely for bulk priming, after bulk priming I will bottle immediately.

i did 2.. First was 2litres of apple and mango from aldi, 75ml lowicz raspberry and 75ml cranberry - added water to get to 1.04, volume about 3.2l Second was 2litres of apple, juice from 1 lime and 150ml lowicz strawberry - added water to get to 1.04, volume about 3.2l (may even be a saled...

I have some going now, it started at 1.04 and if it ever gets to 1 that's when I will rack into secondary with priming sugar. Hopefully there will be enough yeast left to prime. I have observed with prosecco that if you leave it too long to clear then there wont be enough yeast to prime. In...

well I "may" have been a little premature.. it's releasing 1 blurp every minute or two.. maybe there's hope for it yet.

started at 1.04 using apple juice with lowicz straberry syrup and didnt ever go mad with fermentation. I used the cider yeast with sweetener off ebay, but only doing 2 x 3 litre batches had to guestimate the amount to use, ended up using 1/2 tsp as didnt want it too sweet. Wondering if adding...

I got the KC Merlo and have done the beaverdale merlot (that was nice immediately) so will do a (from memory coz I drunk it all) comparison.

I'll give it a go for an extra £7.

I have done 4 red 5 gallon kits, they have all been very nice. Both beaverdale and CC in the £39 range.. Is it worth paying the extra £7 for the Kenridge classic, or even £11 for vintners reserve?

it smells the same.. thats why i was concerned. that and the fact its pink

just about to pitch some "yeast nutrient" into my TC and first thing I notice is its got a pink tone to it, whereas normally its dead white. Mix it with a bit of hot water and it smells of amonia! like what fermentation stopper/stabiliser does. Is this normal, must admit I dont normally...

a valid idea, but they who drink likes fizzy.

I put all my wow and kit wine in bga in boxes now and its so much more convenient than washing and sterilising bottles.. was hoping for the same for cider

I am looking at making a fruity TC - experimenting in DJs and wanted some options around storing after priming for serving? I see a few options, mini keg, easy keg.. Can I have opinions of them please and suggestions about the best. Also - how long do people keep cider once serving has...

nice! that's going to be an interesting brew for sure.

m8 - I cant be ar4ed with the powder anymore.. I've got some you can have for nowt. ping me your address and I'll get it in the post for ya.
