Hello Everyone,we've been tinkering with various fermentation processes for a few years now, mostly beer and cider but I also have an HMRC license for the Rectifying of Spirits.
Current production of cider is about 350 litres a year using fruit from our small orchard of Black Dabinett,Brown's Apple and Harry Masters Jersey varieties.
We brew a 50 litre batch about once a month and as we can't drink it all we do like a good party!

I am so sorry,I neglected to say the 50 litres a month is the beer we brew in our little brewery. the kit is loosely based on Karl Wallners Electric Brewery Design except that our Copper is only partially electrically heated,the bulk of the heating is Propane. We mostly use our own recipes with a bit of input from my sister who is a Brewster. Currently using last years Damsons and Lidl Cocoa Nibs in a 1.070 o.g. Stout.
