hi, I was given about 20 kilos of over ripe, some mushy grapes last week. I crushed them and strained them the next day (got about 2 gallons of juice) but had no yeast so left them till now. I brought them indoors last night to get to room temp before adding the yeast but the must has started...

hello, a quick question, I’ve just siphoned my latest wilko “summer ale”- which came with hop pellets- in to a barrel to condition. A lot of the dissolved hop pellets got sucked in to the barrel and are floating around. I’m just asking will they sink to the bottom in time or should I have...

So, my first 'brew buddy' lager is now bottled and been clearing for a week now. Had to have a taste today and it's looking good, nice colour and carbonation but tastes weak like supermarket 2% value stuff. It tastes ok but not very strong. In the fermenter now is a wilkos apple cider...

Bought a basic few bits to brew a brew buddy lager kit. 40 pints ready to bottle on Sunday. If it goes well I intent to make some wine, sparkling wine and cider. All from easy kits for now. :hat:
