I just made a ribena wine and it as stopped bubbling and the little fizzy bubbles to, what do i do now to make it 'safe' to drink :D I have had a sip and its like vodka :drunk:

Thanks for quick reply, i checked airlock its fine, it actually bubbled over a couple of time over the last week, like a sticky jam like throth, that as stopped now, and yes there are small fizz like bubbles still rising through the demi john, as for preservatives no i did not boil first, it's...

Having made a ribena wine a few weeks ago, i had a starting gravity of 110, it as stopped gassing off (two days) so this morning i took another reading it shows 1040, that gives me a % of 8 i think. I tasted it it tastes very sweet and thick, also tastes more alcoholic than the 8% i worked it...

I have to say a big thanks for all the help from this site, it as all been of some use, especially seeing that i am the ubber noob when it comes to brewing. Having purchased my first brew kit from 'Brew' forum recommendations :thumb: i chose the wherry beer kit as part of the package, it was...

Ok i have made a turbo ribena :ugeek: my question is this, it started very slowly, then started to cake up nicely, that lasted about three days, thats gone now and been replaced with bubbles and froth :?: the bubbler is doing the constant bubble gas release :thumb: Is all this action normal...

Having just finished my first brew kit, i have moved onto a lager kit, just trying different types for now :D My question is - when doing the clean down and sanitize could i use 'miltons' sterlising fluid, you see we have a one year old crawling about, and i thought if i could use that i would...

Yeah it is the 'cheapo' one it came with my complete kit, it does read 1000 in water? Going to transfer to keg today, i bottled 3 litres up last night in two 1.5 litre bottles, just to see if i get any difference between the two methods, (never bottled before) ;)

Count me in :drunk:

Hi Holly, i too made a ribena this weekend actually, like yours i used a bottle of ribena whole bag of sugar, topped up with warm water. I took a reading and it was showing 110 Before adding the wine yeast, it is now bubbling (slowly) at around 21 degrees in the cupboard under the stairs. My...

Made a coopers lager kit up last week, it started at 1030 before adding yeast, at around 22 degrees. Didn't get much of a cake on it just some froth and smaller deposits of cake around the edges of the lager top, it bubbled for about three days continually, then just stopped. It as an aroma of...

Gravy? :rofl:

Because i suffer with a bowel problem, i use a tea strainer when i pour from the keg into my beer glass :cheers:

You are correct Dunfie, the kit in question is for 40 pints (23 litres). I have just made the wherry kit up 'best bitter', mine is still really cloudy but tastes ok. QUOTE: 1.Clean and sterilise ALL equipment, pour tin contents into fermenter 2.Add 3.5 litres (6 pints) boiling water. to...

I to have just made up a coopers lager kit, today infact :thumb: i have closed my fermentation lid down and locked it firmly, using a 'bubbler' to release any excess gas. Hope this helps as i to am a noob to this brew making witchcraft :twisted:

Having made my first brew up of ale, still waiting for the bugger to clear :? tastes ok though :party: I have decided to try a lager kit, and hopefully not have to wait as long for it to clear? I made it as per instructions, and it's now sitting in the kitchen corner doing it's thing. My...

RELATED: I have a woody in the keg now after three weeks in there, it is still as cloudy as our summers :D is there anything i could do to clear it or is it just a case of wait - wait wait? I am drinking it regardless :oops:

Are these 'turbo' ciders meant to be flat ciders? if so fair enough, but if there meant to be slightly fizzy then mine as turned out wrong :oops: if it wrong is there anything i can do to make it fizzy? thanks.

Class in a glass. :cheers:

Yes i know i have to wait a couple of weeks yet, but is it safe to drink my brew in a cloudy state, what will it give me? nothing more than a bad belly/gut ache/the trots :sick: Or is there a more sinister side to drinking beer thats not really ready yet?

And how long before i can get frazzled :D
