In 35 years of brewing this is the only brew I've ever tipped out. I managed to drink...... 2 pints out of the kit over a year. My butty who's also brewed for donkeys years wouldn't even taken off my hands. 37 pint bottles all tipped down the drain. A waste of ã25. Yuck!!
I followed the instructions and will chuck in the flavouring sachet in with the siphoned off cider in the other bin. Unnecessary potch lol. Bottling it I am. Apple this brew so might try blueberry next.
Hi. About to brew On The Rocks cider kit. It says to add the flavouring sachet to the brew after it's been transferred to another bin after fermentation is complete. Question is, can this flavouring be added at the beginning of fermentation thus saving on transferring to another bin on...
Hi. Have a Brewmaker Continuous Filter in immaculate condition but is as old as the arc. Been stored away in the attic since the 80s. Probably filtration as moved on heaps and bounds but why waste something which is perfectly sound. What I want to know are there pads still out there to fit it...
Hi all. About to knock up a Black Rock Cider kit and on the instructions it states, "Dissolve contents of can and 1kg of brewing sugar in two litres of hot water". When I brew ale it always states to use boiling water, weather it's Woodford Wherry, Bulldog brews such as Evil Cat Imperial Red...
Thanks Sloth. Had everything ready yesterday, bin sterilised, etc and opened the box and couldn't find the chocolate flavouring lol. Phoned my hbs today and he opened some boxes to check it out for me. So the flavouring is in the wort. Hopefully knock the brew up tomorrow but have lost two...
Hi. Just bought this Easter Brew Chocolate Stout. According to the box it should have 4 ingredients, the malt, hops, yeast and chocolate flavouring. No chocolate flavouring in the box. I'm just wondering if the chocolate flavouring had already been added to the malt in the bag?
Hi. Can anyone define for me what is "mix" in this instruction for Bad Cat Imperial Red. It doesn't say stir but mix. Would this be with a long mixing spoon as used in the initial mix at the making stage? Seen a guy making this brew on Youtube and he just poured the mixture and teabag in and...
Hi. After advice here about what is excessive heat. I'm brewing in a room which is very cold. Just checked the thermometer and it's 12C. I've brewed 4 kits since December with a heat tray, which is in the photo but the brews have been slow compared to the average 4/6 days in different...
Hi. Was reading a thread a few days back which two home brewers were discussing their brewing of Bad Cat in detail with photos also. Can't find that thread anywhere now. Any help would be appreciated on locating this thread. Thanks.
Didn't mix it up enough lol. I mixed it up as if mixing was going out of fashion. I did everything as the kit instructed meticulously. It's the first time I've used an hydrometer in my life. Think I'll stick to just brewing it the way I did in the past and will continue to do in the future...
