Just taken gravity readings for the toffee apple since it seems to have just about stopped fermenting. 0.98 - that gives me around the 13% mark. Way stronger than I'd like but hey ho! Gonna leave it in the primary for a bit and let it clear down before I do anything else.

Cheers buddy. I was keeping a lazy eye on Evilbay but its good to know I can get the bottles for less than the magic £1 each locally. I would just buy and drink Grolsch but Im not overly fond of it (its ok but I dont like it enough to drink enough to get enough bottles enough with the enoughs!)

I live in Northumberland. I have zero social media presence (deliberately). Now, where can one obtain swing top bottles (the cheapest I have found is £1 each)... And where might I find large quantities of apples? At the moment I brew with supermarket juice, but I am looking at...

I would LOVE an orchard. It's RIGHT up there on my wish list.

Cheers. And now I have to type stuff to make it more than ten characters. That should do it... :D

May have to give this recipe a go, I have a toffee apple recipe on the brew right now but it's very different to this one.

Slowly gaining experience here and still learning (aren't we all?), finding recipes that work, recipes that don't, and ones that every now and then make you go "WOW!" - hoping to scale up production slowly with a view to eventually selling (yes I know it's not straight forward, believe me I've...

Well, I've brewed a few batches of cider and dandelion wine in the past, steadily ramping up production. At the moment I have 12 litres of toffee apple and 12 litres of honey and ginger in to brew (they will be split 50/50 into still and sparkling when I bottle them). SG of the...
