Well I grabbed a bottle of this from the workshop at Xmas and was quite happy with the results. Not as carbonated as I would have liked but it has been sat there for 8 months. Happy days

So it looks like it's fermented out now at an fg of 1.000. Nose is chemically as I expect at this stage but taste is ok for this stage. Will leave in the FV now until I can get some bottle hopefully this week. Excuse them Nespresso cup ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Guys New to the forum and just getting started with brewing. Picked up a kit from Wilkos as a gift so decided to try out some of the pear cider. Made as per instructions and its come out awful. Tastes like bitter water with a vinegary smell? So i gave ginger beer a try as i love...
