Yeah the champers yeast can really eat through all the sugar. Next time I do this I'm going with an ale or Saison yeast and using a standard FV.

So in hindsight I shouldn't have blended up the fruit - blocked up the conical fermenter, hopefully most of the solids will drop out otherwise Im going to be picking bits out of my teeth. How long did this take to finish up for people using wine/champagne yeast ? Im going to consider some...

Thanks for this. I've got around 5 gallons of bottled water ready, I'll make the switch with oranges and go with wine yeast. Going to pick up some spray malt too plus I've got a jar of golden syrup I'm going to sling in too

Going to have a crack at a brew tomorrow. Got myself the following 2kg White sugar 1 kg Brown Sugar 1.6kg of frozen ginger from Asda Some sachets of Cream Tatar 4 limes 4 lemons Just need to decide on Ale or Wine yeast and possibly a bag of spraymalt too. My concern is that I have a conical...

Wort is the liquid pre yeast.

Ah sorry, the Hop and Cheer part threw me :thumb:

I may give it a go depending on people's experience of it.

Brewed a two can kit over the weekend, my first brew in over a year and my first ever using my FastFerment Conical fermenter. I was thinking of using adjuncts but settled on following the instructions for my first go in a while. It was quiet for 24hours but is now bubbling away steadily at...

I don't see why not, I usually brew mine a couple of litres short.

Can I ask did you just boil the zest with water then just add the liquid to the FV ? Haven't brewed for over a year now and have this kit to get back into it.

Do you have a rough idea of how much peel/coriander you used ?

So If I have the large co2 canister, I'll need to use a different cap for it ? Wonder if it will take a King Keg cap.

Cheers for this, my local Wilko haven't updated their stock yet but will definately get one once they are in. My current PB isn't holding pressure and has 3 gallons of Cwtch in it :oops:

Not used my King Keg yet. My old barrel's neck has gone oval shaped and isn't keeping the pressure.

I tend to buy the odd emergency bits and pieces from them - especially as I don't drive and P+P costs are prohibitive. I'll see if I can nip in soon and have a look at the keg 'in the flesh' as my old one has given up the ghost.
