Help, I have been looking through some rhubarb recipes and its suggested to add a vitamin B tablet. It looks like all the brew shops, ebay etc are out of stock. Is this an essential product to add or is there something else I can add in its place? I see there are different vitamin b tablets at...

Thanks for that The Baron. Yes it defiantly looks like they were a beer brewer rather than a wine maker. So that would make sense with the bottles. I use the kitchen larder and a cabinet in the garage so kept in the dark. That was my second thought about using clear bottles. athumb.. I got a...

Calling on your experience athumb.. I bought a load of second hand brewing bits and these glass bottles were in with them. I have 1 pint, 1 litre and 1.13litre. They are screw tops with rubber seals. I have checked all the seals and they all look to be in really good condition considering how...

I have just made the Range Rose kit and I must say I am impressed. I didn't back sweeten and its good as it is. I will defiantly do this one again. I am 6 days in to the red and its still bubbling away. Looking forward to trying the red. Going to get the white wine hopefully tomorrow so would be...

I have a wine filter 🤣

The first one I had had for a few years and not used for a while and the second one I had just bought 2 weeks ago second hand and had not used yet. No they had both come out of storage boxes.

The more I think about it the more I agree with you

I started a white wine today in a demijohn. About 10 minutes later I could see a small amount of liquid around the base of the demijohn on the tray. So I wiped it up thinking it was just the run off from the cleaning of it. Sat in the kitchen about 5 hours later I heard a glass sounding crack...

See, even at my age you can learn something every day athumb..

Hi Weatherman, I am still learning loads myself but I haven't heard of squeezing the bottle prior to capping. I am sure if my answer is wrong someone else can head you in the right direction. I am assuming you are talking about screwing a screw top cap on once its filled.? I have not yet used...

Yes please I am in :beer1:

I made the punk IPA (my first AG) I am more of a larger/cider drinker but learning to like ales a lot more especially when you make them yourself. Doing a taste test against the original it was a lot stronger in flavour and cloudier. Only problem I had was I have to much carbonation when opening...

I have the opposite. Using swing bottles for the first time (second hand but replaced all the rubber seals) on an AG punk ipa kit and didn't even use the full amount of honey to carbonate. I have too much carbonation, like little volcanoes 🌋

Welcome and get ready to learn loads from this forum (I have):hat:

When we were looking for a knitting pattern on line, we did find how to make one out of a woollen jumper too. 😂

I did initially have bath towels around the buckets too

I use a heat mat or belt for primary regulated with the an inkbird (Don`t laugh) but my mum has just knitted these for me for when they go into the larder for secondary. As I was telling her that they get a bit cold. :laugh8:

Yes it has been very lively

Yes the orange had bits and I did squeeze 3 oranges and satsumas in that I had lying around and chucked them in.

I have an orange and mango wow in primary (first attempt at one of these wines) and this will be my next one I think. Thanks for the recipe 😊
