I think and have been told I've over done it. I was so looking forward this year to making Cider from a tree i planted some years ago. Last year i had no blossom on this tree hence no apples but still made cider from what apples i could find locally. This years crop was over loaded some branch's...

Hi, this might have been covered before, last year I pressed enough apples to make eleven gallons of Cider, the first five gallons were only just drinkable due to it being rather tart. I have a further six gallons in a pressure barrel and was wondering how much of a non sugar sweetener to add to...

I thought to myself what a coincidence I've gone and bought one of those today along with another 5 gal keg. I think I may have over done the water, I may have 2 litres to much in. Anyway I get...

not new to brewing though, It’s been 15 years since I brewed a beer and now that I have retired I’ve taken up the habit once again. I’ve been lucky by advertising on several sites for free brewing equipment I’ve managed to acquire one plastic white keg and one brown...
