I’ve used it in the past and it’s been good, no issues. Though I’ve only tried Pale Whale (25kg).

It was a bit of a hotch potch porter. Using up some older grains rather than binning them.

Well I used it, and it’s been a success. Wife had a pint out of the barrel when bottling with no negative effects. Thanks @The-Engineer-That-Brews 👍 I also got some small stainless measuring spoons to make ease of addition easier. I expect an overdose by a little will not have any negative...

it’s going to be fun trying to measure out 0.5ml tomorrow. Never got a syringe, but have a 5ml one.

Brilliant, thanks @The-Engineer-That-Brews 👍

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use to remove gluten from our brews. The wife who like to partake in drinking my beer has become gluten intolerant. So I need to find a way to easily remove the gluten from the brew. Thankfully it’s an intolerance rather than an allergy. Advice...

The only problem I see now is that they are now in the back end of Colne, so collection is now a pain in the bum.

I tend to agree, I have had 1 issue and it took a few weeks to get a reply (holiday season). But once in their sight it was resolved very quickly. I use them quite often as I pass them on they way to work so collection is handy.

I use sugar sticks to prime the bottles, then fill directly from the fermenter with a siphon and wand.

All what is your go to kit cider? I’ve tried the Mangrove Jacks Apple, and most recently the Festival kit. my preference is the MJ one as I find the Festival kit to have a chemically taste (sweetener?) or forced apple flavour.

Thanks all, looks like we are all on the same wavelength, 75% of what you have advised is what I have in my basket. I am going down the Golden Promise base malt route for a change and in the 25kg sack.

What are your go to grains and hops that you always have in your inventory. I am putting a bulk order in, and I am looking for suggestions, Pale malt I am good with, it’s the “others” you have? Cascade/Citra/Magnum and Target is what I already have.

My cider stunk when I made it the summer, but time is your friend.

Here is mine, another lefty.....lol
