Ok thanks for your replies. Still not sure what do do really.. As a total newbee to all this I think with the cider yeast with sweetener there might be too much fizz to try and de gas it so might just leave it and try it as a cider but would be about 12% :-/ I'll do more reading up in the...

Oh really, not sure what to do now.. Ok I'm pretty new to this so if I wanted wine when and how would I stop it and if I want cider just let it ferment out to 1.00? Thanks

Ok so made a bit of a mistake, made the whole brew up and realised I had no wine yeast so I just threw in the same yeast I used for my strawberry & lime wow... The cider yeast with sweetener, so will this just make it a very strong fizzy cider?? Thanks

Sounds great so I'm going to give it a go next, can you tell me why first you used Tesco and Lidl apple juice?? Which one would you recommend?? Thanks

You know what I like the sound of adding some Malibu I might give that a try, any idea on an amount to try... Half a bottle for 20l :-)

Going to have a go at this one on Monday, just waiting on an order to come in... How are you getting on with it?? Also do you have to filter out the " oak chips " as their called or do they just sit in the bottom of the fv? Thanks

That looks like the easiest way for me, I am only doing kits at the mo so something like this would make it handy for me.. Any idea how much to add for a 20l batch??

So i brewed the St Peters Stout Kit and next time I would love to brew it and add a flavour preferably coconut.. I tasted a Brew Dog stout with coconut and really liked it so would like to try something similar.. Thanks

Anybody able to help me on this?? Seems I have gone to 1020 now defo no sign of it going down anymore.. It was 1017 on the 28/2/17 and 1020 now?? Is there a way to kick start the fermentation again or just prime and bottle?? Thanks

Ok so had an OG of 1047 and a week after it was 1017 so moved it into secondary after 12 days and still had a reading of 1017... I added 300g of lactose will transferring to secondary but there just seems to be very little life and stuck on 1017, should I just leave it for a few days and take...

How did you rate this Roddy?? Looking for a few nice summer drinks to be brewing now to be well in stock :-). Well impressed with your strawberry and lime recipe as it was the first cider I ever brewed.. Not quite sure what to go for next..

Couldn't wait any longer and opened my first bottle after only a week and it already a tastes great :-) Looking forward to it conditioning over the next few weeks and getting even better..

So I tried a BrewDog stout at the weekend and it had coconut essence in it and it tasted very good and thinking of doing something like that to my stout... Could someone tell me how much to put in if I was?? Might try Coconut it Vanilla... Also could someone give me a figure on the about...

Yea GhostShip I totally agree I have realised I need to take my time and just leave them for a few weeks but the twang is just not fading at all, hopefully you will see a difference in the Tesco water.. CWRW666 Yea I only used approx 600g of sugar for both brews so should have been fine but...

So I'm all new to brewing and have since done 2 beer kits and a Strawberry & Lime cider.. My first brew was a Craft Range IPA and has been in the bottle about 6 weeks but I'm getting a kind of twang is all I can call it that I have never really tasted off a beer, some people say it's tastes...

Reviving an old thread but wondering has anyone batch primes this stout and if so how much sugar to use... Thanks

It's at 1010 so I'll leave it for another few days and hopefully see it drop.. Cheers
