    Sea yeast

    A studen at the University of Split has isolated yeast from sea water and made beer with it. Clove, fruit aromas, a bit like a sour beer. Called the beer Sea Cucumber Article in Nature

    Question about dried fruits

    Maybe. It depends. Non committal. Like most things, "I've always done it and it was OK". Until that 1 occasion when it doesn't. If it happens early in your attempts you're put off doing it, if it works no problem. Personally, I would use thoroughly washed dried fruit.

    Brew2Bottle Customer Service

    Part of the issue with eBay is that fees are based on sale price including postage so lowest cost possible. Which pushes you to have an eBay shop were they expect you to offer free postage to get a certain level of fee discount. This then gets customers thinking postage is free, whereas its...

    Question about dried fruits

    Is residual sorbate an issue? My initial thoughts were no but I've changed my mind to maybe, lol. Added to wine as a fermentation stopper at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon (1g) per gallon/4.5L, equating to 0.02% In dried fruit the maximum level is 2000mg/kg or 0.2%, which would dilute down to 0.04% in...

    Elder flower champagne

    Agreed its an Rowan aka Mountain Ash. Has red berries which can be made into a jelly which goes well with game meat like pheasant. Looked for a photo, surprisingly not got one other than this sign. The branches are pithy, Rod like, then branch oddly. Flowers on the previous seasons wood.

Intriguing about keeping beer. I do not keep samples, but am not against it As beer is a living product, and changes, how...

    Lidl recalling Starovice Czech Lager

    I cannot say categorically how and why the sulphur dioxide is there. So2 is used as a preservative yet it could even be naturally occurring just like the sulphur smell from hard boiled eggs or some yeast ferment. Once present it has to be declared as an allagen.

    Lidl recalling Starovice Czech Lager

    Sulphur dioxide is a preservative and anti oxidant. Sulphites (metabisulphate) in wine are used to cease fermentation. In beer it prevents oxidation, so maintains flavours. I do not know, but I wonder if it has been used as an alternative to CO2 flushing when capping to extend shelf life.
