Hi, i bought a turbo wine yeast and then found out that you have to buy flavors to add to it, I then found out that the flavors are 2 to 3 pound each. The flavors despite their cost only do 75cl so you need 2 flavors to cover 1lt, this to me is bordering on extortion. in fact if you add up the...

Thanks Chippy, i never thought of that, i'm getting old and its now showing. :-D

Could i just ask which sparge tool you use and where you got. Thanks again.

Hi, could any one please tell me how long videne lasts after it has been diluted? I am thinking of when i have to stir the brew daily, when i have to sterilize the paddle every day. Thanks.

Thanks Dads - Ale, i will check that out. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am making blackberry wine and i have doubled the amount to 4 gallon. the recipe says to use a packet of port yeast. So do i put two packets of yeast in since i have doubled the amount of blackberries? Thanks

Thanks again guys, i am truly grateful to you both, i'll post back how i get on, but it will be a while though, i am looking to the future somewhat and it will be my first shot at brewing properly as opposed to doing a kit. I will post back with the results when i do it, i believe i may need...

Thanks alby and chastuck, could either of you tell me where i could get some silicon hose? I have never heard of this before, so i am kinda lost with it. Thanks.

Hi, would any one here know if this Blichmann AutoSparge is any good and if it is, would it fit into a plastic brew bin, or in to a plastic brew heat boiler? Here is the link. http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Blichmann-Equipment-Auto-sparge.html#.U9rTwaOCAnc Thanks.

Thanks for the link Slid, but i went to Wilko to day, the pectolase and yeast nutrient cost me 1.19 each, they might not have been informed of the sale price's or the sale started after i bought my bits. I also got some wine finings while i was there, i cant remember how much that was though...

Thanks for the reply Chippy, yes we do have a boots and Wilko in town, but i did not think they would sell small items like pectolase, but i will certainly give them a try to-morrow. Failing that i will just have to order on line. Thanks again for the advise, i hope i will be able to return the...

Hi every one, could i just ask you guys if Pectolase is the same as pectic enzyme. And if it is, is it still usable after its best before date, in this case a best before date of 2010 And can anyone recommend a good on-line home brew supplier? Thanks.

Thanks for your advice guys, I read about the 4 kilo kits in a book by CJJBerry, titled Home Brewed Beers and Stouts. I have a standard muntons larger to do first but i will give the recomended kits a go later. I intend to have a go at brewing from scratch eventually, i have the boiler and mash...

Hi every one, could i ask if any one here has done a 4 kilo lager or bitter kit? - if so, was it anything special? Thanks.

Could anyone please tell me if a 5 gallon fermenting vessel is ok for using as a primary fermenting vessel for 1 gallon of wine, or would it be two big? Or would it be possible to use a demijohn with a cloth over the top of it till the vigorous fermenting slows down? Or what is the best...

Thanks everyone, your advice is greatly appreciated.
