Herrow! I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on the cheapest place to bulk buy honey at a reasonable price. I want to make up a large batch which will require 5-7 gallons (23 - 32 Liters) of honey. Cheers

I've been making beers from grains for a couple of years, I currently have a 20L pot I use for mashing with a large gas burner and I use cool boxes as a tun. I filter out the grains later int he process by hand This method has worked well for me, but I find myself having to make multiple...

Afternoon all, I had a few buckets of mixed apples towards the end of September, I made a press and made cider from them. The cider was started on the 10th of September. I spent quite a bit of time bumping up the alcohol content of this batch by adding extra sugar over a few weeks. I pushed the...

Evening all, I've only gone and started to over think everything again, which usually ends in confusion, so just looking for some guidance to de-clutter my thought process :) I've got a couple different wines which are currently sat in DJ's. They were started on the 10th of August. Both are...

Afternoon all, Although I have many gallons of wine on the go, I haven't actually played around with Beer yet, so I've decided to start with a kit and see how it goes. I picked up the St. Peters, India Pale Ale kit earlier this week. the instructions are not that great, well at least step 4...

So, I geared up this morning for a few hours out and about picking blackberries to try and fill up several DJ's later this week. I spent last weekend checking out where all the good spots were so it should have just been a simple job of go fetch. I get to my first field and start picking the...

Was racking one of my wines today which was particularly piled up, at least 2" of lees. I find that mango always produces a lot! I was wondering if there is any reason why you can't filter the sediment to capture as much of the original wine as possible and reduce loss? :wha: Cheers, Noodle

It is that time of the year when our apples start to fall from the tree. With the blackberries picked this week the wife is happy and will be making apple and balackberry pie.. mmmmmmmm I decided to use the left over apples and make a cider. Our apple tree didn't produce as much this year as it...

Hello Everybody, A total beginner here, so please be gentle. I got talking to a wine brewing group recently at a local show, I was so inspired I went and kitted up and started to give wine making a go. I followed the instructions they gave me, at least how I recalled them and started my wine...
