Thanks MQ, I appreciate the feedback - I'll see how it comes out, hopefully it'll be drinkable at least. Possibly worth having another look at the recipe when I have some more hops to hand, as it was I just cobbled something together based on the leftovers I had lying around, loosely based on...

Yes thats what I worried about - the OG was 1040 and aiming for 1010 ish when I'm finished but asI said its a bit experimental. I iz tard re the yeast, its actually (having checked the packet) Gervin GV12 ale yeast. I think you are right and G11 is indeed a wine yeast. It would have been a bit...

Didn't intend to get backs up with my first post, I hope my subsequent posts in various sub-forums illustrate this but happy to take this down if it offends?

I was given a very elderly copy of a farmers weekly country wine book which had a recipe for date wine, this intrigues me but I wondered if anyone here had tried it ever? It makes about 3 litres of wine but you need 1kg of dates and I was unsure whether this may have dire consequences (if you...

I love the Coopers APA kit, for a 1-can kit I was consistently impressed with the end result. I used to add 500g of light hopped spraymalt and 500g unrefined cane sugar only and it was often praised by my friends. I love the idea of splitting a 5 gallon batch down into several smaller batches...

Hello from the South Coast! I've been brewing for about 4 years now, I started out with 1 and 2-can kits and have now progressed onto making my own beer from hops and spraymalt in small batches -I also run a small homebrewing project website. Looking forward to learning new ideas and...

I've just started brewing and this was my second kit, I dont profess to be a connoisseur at all but found this one to be very nice actually. it was easy to make and i used dextrose rather than sugar, but the end result after 3 weeks in a keg is very drinkable. i think this is what members call...
