Thanks for the advice. I have now done this and have a clear substance suitable for human consumption :thumb: Regards, Clum :electric:

I could not wait on the grey cloudy mix clearing I had to try a bit! :cheers: I took out 2 bottles of the stuff and left the rest to see if it will clear in time :pray: First bottle I used a german herbal mix for the taste. Supposed to make it taste like Jaggermeister. It was ok a firm...

degassed the hell out of it.. I was wznting this for a party this saturday aswell :( Think it will safe to drink cloudy? im also disappointed.. Dangit.. Regards, Clum :electric:

Brewboy, Question.. I have also started this.. How quickly did it clear when you added the turbo clear to it(that's what I have) ? I have added the turbo clear to mine and it says leave to stand for 24 hours but it is still the same grey colour it was before.. My batch sounds like it was...

Thanks guys.. :thumb: I have a 3 stage filtration kit thingy-ma-jig so i am going to be doing that tonight and it will be ready to consume in 24 hrs.. :pray: I am going to add some flavourings to different bottles.. Vanilla, Orange, Apple and Lemon & Lime :tongue: Have my halloween party...

Morning all, I have done my alcotec turbo yeast batch.. Left it for 2 half days now and the pack says 24 hours.. Think my batch might have been slightly colder than recomended.. Still fermenting aswell.. My question is I took specific gravity reading just after I added yeast as I forgot to...

I am looking at a way to filter the end product and I have read somewhere you can use a Brita water filter to filter the end product.. Is this possible or will I still need activated charcoal filter? :hmm: If so how the hell :twisted: do I filter make/buy one.. Rather make one as I am quite...

This sounds very exciting. I am having a Halloween party for this so think I may brew some of this for it as it seems to have a fast brewing turn around from what I have read.. Don't know if I want 23 litres of the stuff though :shock: Funny thing is when I tell everyone I have started...

Welcome matey.. Very helpful at this site.. I just started brewing a few weeks ago and lot's of guys gave me plenty of sound advice! :drunk: I have a small set up (25L)in my spare room although I haven't told my girlfriend I about my second batch yet :whistle: I done cider and it's all...

Hi guys.. Cider turned out quite nice.. Although with the brambles in it it seemed to be very fizzy when opening the bottle.. only tried a couple as of yet because i am trying to give it a bit of time in the bottle.. Going to try my hand at some beeeeeeeer now :D Regards, Clum

I was thinking about experimenting with half of it.. So I was going to drain half of it into bottles just now and then leave the other half in the vat.. I was wondering if this would start to taint my batch since my vat would be half empty (or half full :))...???? Patience is something I will...

I was going to try some flavouring.. It is bramble season in scotland so was thinking about maybe going foraging and getting some nice black berries for it.. Appreciate the help n advice

See my only problem was I did not take a hydrometer reading until last night when I tested it because I started before I purchased one. Do I use my hydrometer in a long tube or is a reading with it just in my 25 litre vat ok? Think I will bottle it tonight.. How much sugar should I use as a...

Right guys this forum has been fantastic but I am dithering in the wind now.. I have been brewing my first brew batch - cider -. But now I think it has stopped (or slowed) fermentation after only 5 days.. I took some out to taste last night and although tasting like cider it also tasted slightly...

Why would the internet lie to me? :hmm: :? :shock: :o

Ok.. but what are the consequences? I may already have added this :oops: i think I may get some cider that tastes like scottish plain loaf bread... :lol:

Thanks again Rolfster.. I am struggling with time to get a cider yeast for my mix.. What are the consequences of using a bread yeast for this..? Will it work..? Will it ruin my apple juice..? I bought a wine yeast thinking that would do but when i checked the bottle I had bought wine yeast...

Another quick question.. Bear with me with on this one till I find the right wording.. After my first week of initial fermentation and I filter this into my bottles I am going to add sugar to give it some fizz.. Do I add the sugar and keep let the cider "breath" or do I seal it up tight to keep...

I am currently making my first brew of cider just now but have been talking with my brewing buddy about using his sloe drupes (had to google that there) from his tree and having some nice sloe gin.. I spoke to someone recently who said if we start soon it could be a nice christmas treat...

Magic Rolfster! If I add some more sugar in and left this slightly longer would it become more alcoholic? As I was saying I am going to go to the brewing shop on saturday for some nice supplies what are the main things I should invest in? This forum has been so much help! Much appreciated...
