Many thanks for the recipe. Hope to try it soon. Cheers.....

Is the tea wine a standard CJJ Berry recipe?

there's a blast from the past. I remember Youngers no3 being one of the small quantity of real ales available in NE England in the 80's.

Lion beer from Sri Lanka at 8.8%

St Peters sounds interesting?

Fascinating stuff and good value for money. Were 'O' rings supplied with the valves? Did the copper pipe self-seal when tightening the nut?

It's my Christmas laxative wine recipe:)

me too. always sampling.

looks great

Thanks. I'm planning a winter porter/stout hybrid. made one last year with pale malt, choc malt, torrefied wheat, . turned out fine. quite dry and malty. used admiral hops. thinking of a twist this year but cant make up my mind....:doh:

Hi Chippy Was inspired by your orange wine recipe, so developed my own.: 1.5l orange juice 1l red grape juice 1 can of prunes 1.6kg sugar turboyeast its doing nicely. Have fermented prunes on the pulp. Will strain after turboyeast does its work. On a heat mat as we live in the far...

I have been conditioning for two-weeks at room temperature, then cooling down by transferring to my store/brewhouse at roughly 12 degrees c for a couple of weeks. During the winter I crash cool outside prior to serving (for a party etc). Is this OK?

Thanks. I've seen these kegs in certain German supermarkets (full of fizzy lager - probably good stuff). I might get hold of one the next time they're in. Can you buy them empty, do you know?

Would it be safe to condition in these kegs?

brewed a nice porter last year with admiral, loads of choc malt, etc.
