I had that problem too mrcwcb, with the sediment and pulp from the strawberrys. Didn't have a sieve to hand so managed to bottle what I could and binned the last bit. Not sure how it will turn out though. Just drinking one now from my first ever batch, coopers larger, well happy with it and...

That's a fair bit of individual bottling work right there! Lol... Liking the sound of summer fruits tc!

Best move the Mrs blanket then 😁... Cheers, will put an old towel underneath

Will keep you updated 👍 got a few pics from the brew last night... Will update first post

Howdy all, This is my 3rd brew now, new to the brewing game and starting to get the bug already! Currently have 40 odd bottles of coopers larger waiting for Xmas (that number is rapidly reducing though) [emoji23] and a couple of bottles of raspberry TC left. Larger has turned out lovely, but...

Not started it yet mate. Just been out to get some stuff. Got two limes, couldn't get any strawberry syrup mind you, so picked up a tin of strawberrys instead... 446ml tin, 69.6g sugar content. Anyone used tinned strawberrys before?

Nice one bud, same here just bunging one together in a 1 gal dj.

Does anyone have a recipe for strawberry lime TC? The Mrs is a fan of it and any excuse for me to get brewing satisfys me 😋

Nice one mate, bottles are currently sterilising at the mo ;-)

I also followed this recipe (1 gal DJ)... Just about to prime with 65ml syrup as recommended by roddy. I was wondering is Canderel fermentable? Bought some today and wondered if I could put a few teaspoons in batch prime or whether this would be too much with syrup (6g per 500ml)? Cheers all

I second the oxi stain powder too... Soak in hot water for 10 mins and the labels float off. Minimal glue left on usually

Nice one mate. Noticed in that write up it recommends racking into another FV for secondary and leave for a further two weeks prior to bottling... Does everyone else do that, or just bottle once fermentation is complete?

Glad it's not just me who finds it hard to read sometimes. I've also got a DJ of raspberry TC on the go at the moment (inspired by Roddy also!)... Yeast was pitched last Friday and bubbling has slowed down a fair bit yesterday/today. Time for a reading tomorrow.

Can you add malic acid just before bottling, or is it wiser to add before fermentation has started?
