    Pectolase addition for cherry stout

    Hmm think I'll chuck in an extra few kilos. I'm going to let it sit on the cherries for 4-6 weeks and see how it turns out.

    Pectolase addition for cherry stout

    I'm bewing a cherry stout tomorrow. Using a kit as a base. I'm going to add pectolase as I will rack the stout onto a kilo or so of frozen cherries and put it secondary for a few weeks. I'm going to add pectolase to aid with getting the juices out the cherries. Should I add this in primary...

    Cherry stout

    I think I whack it on a load of frozen cherries for a few weeks after its primary and see what happens. I tried adding cherry concentrate to a stout once before bottling and the flavour didn't come through at all in most of the bottles. The wedding is going to be mostly bikers anyway...so no...

    What are you drinking tonight?

    Had a bottle of IPA from the Deeside brewery , not bad quite a traditional tasting sort of IPA. Second was a bottle of brewdog Elvis Juice. Never fails to disappoint.

    Cherry stout

    So the mother in laws wedding is due next April and I'm making a couple of brews for it. One is a cherry stout. I'm using a St Peters cream stout kit for it and adding cherries. I was told that sour cherries are best to use , but I can only seem to find dried ones in supermarkets or online. Any...

    Retaining fruit flavours in TC's.

    Say I'm doing a peach cider, would racking off into a couple of tines of peach halves( with juice/syrup) and doing a secondary work?

    Retaining fruit flavours in TC's.

    I've made 3 or 4 different turbo ciders with mixed results. A common thing I've found is that if it's a flavoured cider ( I've done raspberry , mango , and peach, passion fruit and mango. ) the flavouring from the fruit juice has not really come through and the cider can often have quite a tart...

    Alcohol taste

    I've got this with a vimto wine I made, and it's pure rocket fuel... One glass and it's bedtime. I suspect it's just due to the high amount of sugar that's in the recipie that gets converted to alcohol. It doesnt go away either...my vimto wine is over a year old and the alcohol taste is just as...

    Small Batch Experiments

    Before I built my kit up a bit I used to do small batch brew. What I found was more, maybe not beneficial but certainly worthwhile, was doing a 10L batch instead of a 5Litre batch. Split the batch, keep 5L as the recipe I'd brewed and then expiriment with dry hopping the other 5L. I just found...

    Coopers Original Stout Review

    Bottle a whole batch of this Last week. I made it a chocolate stout. I also did 8 bottles with 1.5ml of Salted caramel flavouring. And 8 bottles with 3ml of cherry concentrate. I was impatient so I cracked open a bottle of the basic choc stout last night. It's a good pint already... So come the...

    Raspberry TC

    i used fresh raspberries before and the outcome was way too tart. I had to add a bit of syrup to the glass when pouring to sweeten. if i did it again i would just use the syrup in the cider instead of fresh raspberries.
