Imagine the toffee apple cider recipe on here (http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=14909&highlight=burnt+toffee) with some vanilla and allspice chucked in would be quite nice :)

Brewdog Dead Pony Club, I love the grapefruit-hoppy taste :)

Just opened one of these last night and I must say, it's really nice :) Thumbs up for Lowcaz! Thanks Roddy!

Interesting post and yes, I am guilty of sucking to start a siphon :( Will be amending my procedure accordingly I think. For now however I just ordered 2x 30 bottle winekits (based on Chippy's recommendation) from Tesco's to use up my vouchers. Was tempted with another Wherry but will give...

just ordered the 30 bottle sauv blanc and chardonnay kits after reading positive reviews here :thumb:

Results are in: 1.018 on the stuck beer kit after MyQul's experiment. Moved .002 so did actually work but guessing the new yeast colony died off. Anyway, racked it today and it tastes like pure vinegar so seems like it's picked up an acetobacter infection. That's unfortunate. Cracked open the...

What bottles do you guys use and where do you get them from? Would be helpful noting which bottles are easy to de-label, clean and reuse. I tend to save lots of Doom Bar bottles. They're the foil labels and they come off super easy and the bottle itself has no real markings! Saving this how do...

That is a nice price, Dan! Tempting indeed! As an update for MyQul, the yeast i pitched 5 days ago has made a very slight difference as the SG has gone from 1.020 to 1.018. Will leave another week and see if it will go a little longer. If not I'll bottle this and leave it for a couple months and...

Ha! This made me laugh indeed! wife looking at me as if i'm crazy now.

Ha! Slater's Bitter Spaniel Worrier?

Yeah very much looking forward to it, just need to find a decently priced pan to boil my wort in. Think best I've found so far was a 15L from amazon for £18 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003DC88FQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20). Problem is my hob is a solid plate hob so not sure...

Ah, guess my issue is I used too few cordials. Will make with more next time. Wonder if straight cordial added to each bottle would have enough sugar to prime :)

Do you plan on back-sweetening this? Made 20L of peach using 4 robinsons bottles and 20L of Summer Fruits the same way and both seem really watery :/

Sorry for pics being out of order but I've not used this uploader before. Anyway, decided to try MyQul's suggestion on my stuck beer kit and thought I'd post the pictures of my progress. Pic 1: stuck brew at 1.022 Pic 2: Yeast and 1L of 1.040 water made with DME Pic 3: 12 hours after...

Picked up a box of Wherry from Abbots HBS yesterday and had a good old chat about AG brewing. Going to borrow a couple of clibits recipes and put a shopping list together. Things looking up!

Would be extremely interesting in doing this, gave PayPal and would like 10ish different ones :)

Have seen Worcester hop shop but was under the impression that it was online only :)

Ahh, ok so it's a well known issue. Guess I made multiple mistakes :/ oh well, half the fun is in the learning :) After having another almost full read of clibit's AG brew thread I think I'll take the plunge and give it a try! Guess I need to get a few sachets of the better yeast this time...

Wow, so many responses! :P Thanks guys, was a good read this morning. Always been tempted with AG and have read that post a few times but as of yet not bought a 15L stockpot. Noticed one on amazon delivered for £18 so may take the plunge. Will have to visit a decent LHBS to get some stock as...

Getting frustrated with beer kits. This is the second one I've tried now (both Geordie's Yorkshire Bitter since that is the cheapest kit in my LHBS) and they both seemed to fail. On the first one I started with the can and added 1kg of malt spray. The OG was 1.046. After three weeks in the FV it...
