Got a 6 gallon fermentation bin of Bramley Cider on the go now (fermenting on natural yeast for 4 weeks then adding a champagne yeast) A demi of the same with Youngs yeast and nutrient added with 200g of sugar. Also got a demi of Bramley and Raisin wine and an "experimental" batch of the Bramley...

I made this up yesterday and I've left it overnight but I've still got no activity yet... I made up a Raspberry and Apple TC yesterday at the same time and that's slowly bubbling. Shall I just give it more time before I start to worry? Cheers guys

After many years of making the Skittle Vodka, me and my friends tried some other flavours... Werthers Originals: Brilliant flavour! The vodka really absorbed the butterscotch. Used about half a large size bag to 500mls, shook every time we thought about it... (1-2 times a day) Glacier Mints -...

This might sound sill but if I follow this recipe: The full 440ml of “Syrop owocowy” ((Raspberry stuff)) 4.5L water 400g white sugar 1 flat teaspoon of Youngs superwine yeast and nutrient How long will it take and what will the ABV end up as? Thanks, Mathius

Brilliant. I'll secondary it this evening then put it in the cellar for another while. I'll be aiming to drink it for New Years so I'll bottle it in about a month.

I topped my TC up with cooled boiled water and now the bubbling has stopped almost completely. I mean one bubble every one and a half minutes... Should I siphon into a secondary with some sugar now? Then bottle it? And do you bottle it straight after the sugar has dissolved into the cider?

I've topped it up with Apple Juice but I need to allow the sugars to ferment out and then top up with water when the process has ended. That way I can bottle it in about 2 weeks.

Popped the apple J in it and it's bubbling more frequently now. I assume it's the sugar and the yeast reacting again. Should I wait a couple more days before topping up with the cooled boiled water?

Cheers guys, most appreciated!! Mathius

Hi guys, I mixed up the TC on Saturday, Used 3L of Apple Juice and 1L Orange. Added the other ingredients as to the How To guide. I put it in the airing cupboard as it was the only place with a constant 23C temp. It bubbled over Sunday night and I've moved it to the kitchen where it's a bit...

I don't think any of the great T's juices use sorbate as a preservative. they've got three for £2.50 on at the moment on their ambient stuff too...

Cheers! I'll be buying the not from concentrate now!

Could I use 2L of apple juice and 2L of apple and raspberry?

Just discovered there is a homebrew and winemaking shop just across town! I'll be starting with some regular apple juice from a supermarket... Any suggestions?

Hello all, Always fancied a go at home brewing but never got round to it. After finding 6 5L demijohns and bubblers downstairs I thought I'd have a go. First with the Cider, then onto beer. Looking for advice and tips and tricks of the tipple!! I look forward to seeing what needs to be...
