Good morning, Flixon Breweries here, A misread of the meter may have been possible, but it won't be far out. We can drink, and it absolutely cabbaged us to the point that we're now more than a bit scared of it. It's impossible to drink and few glasses and enjoy it. It tastes alright, but...

Good afternoon, Flixon Breweries reporting in. Our latest batch of Sauvignon Plonk we left in and kind of forgot about, for six weeks. We picked it up from our local home brew shop in St Helens, and it was their own country house wine make, that they buy in from Sweden I think they said...

Goodness me, what a night, only partially spoiled by the atrocious display of English football. We brought the raspberry and lime cider bottles out, and it was just great. At about 5% (ish), cold, and fizzy, we both sort of nodded at each other with a look that said 'we can do this'. So we...

Wouldn't hesitate to follow one of your recipes again. We just bottled about 40 pints of strawberry and lime turbo cider last night, came out about 5%. The batch before we added more sugar too, came out at 8%, but it was a bit too strong. I'll divide the recipe down, and we'll do a...

Yes, it's weird, but we are definitely going to put some more in, it was really nice. Again, we gave it much longer to ferment than on the instructions, as it seems to do a better job, and clear up more.

Greetings, Flixon Breweries Here, Just a quick update on our brewing status. In the light of the arrival of children on my side, we've started brewing in a ridiculous panic. Just took out 40-odd bottles of Roddy's turbo cider, tuned towards raspberry and lime, it's clear as a bell, and...

Couldn't resist. We've got an Elderflower wine, a merlot, Woodforde's Nelsons Revenge, a Geordie Lager, and two other 40 pint kits to go in and a turbo cider to go in. Well on the way to being totally self-sufficient. Next Summer, we'll have a list for wild fruit picking and we are going to...

Yup, it came out at 7.5% and cabbages anyone that even takes a sniff. Despite being heterosexual, I tried to get off with my 6 foot 4, 20 stone mate and had to be pulled off him by the belt in my jeans. Make sure you back sweeten it with Splenda before you bottle it, otherwise it's too sour.

Excellent thanks. We'll have a go at that. We've stuck an elderflower wine from Wilkos in one today, and we are just about to put in several litres of Solomon Grundy merlot into the bucket. The Nelson's Revenge is going well and the Geordie Lager has come out like Geordie bitter!

Goodness me it's seems like a long time since we last posted something up on here. We've just bottled about 30 bottles of Wilkos Mexican Cerveza, which tastes OK, but just OK. It was �£12 so... Couple of things we did wrong. We put brew enhancer in it, which has made it a bit too...

I will do mate, it's just bottle conditioning at the moment. We'll crack one open probably Monday, when our next beer is due for bottling, and we'll send you a photo of the cider.

Good Evening - Flixon Breweries Here Time for a quick update we thinks. So our Mexican Cerveza has stalled slightly. We expected bottling today, but we had a bobber and a taste, and it was slightly sweet. We've put some great yeast in and another packet of yeast however, we think the weather...

Flixon Breweries wish you all the best of luck in your new venture.

Hello and welcome from Flixon Breweries. You've definitely found the right place, some VERY helpful, very friendly people on here. We're relatively new at it, so we're not so good for the advice on brewing, but we're incredible at getting drunk, so if you need any advice on that, please don't...

That's absolutely brilliant, thanks for posting. The narrative is bloody genius. 'and not a penny to the Chancellor' 'cultivating the perfect thirst' :lol:

Greetings People and thank you for responding. Russ has bobbed it out last night and I'm just reading from his text. Started at 1.042, it's now at 1.020. We've just been having a chat after work on the phone, and we've remembered something. This has happened before with this EC-1118 yeast...

Incredibly important to have a few jars of your latest creation and name it accordingly. So far we have: Betty Firstbrew - Bulldog Bitter Philosopher's Brow - Roddy's Turbo Cider Chateau Le Cul-de-Sac - Cellar 7 Cabernet Bobbingbong Soon to be named: Mexican Cerveza Raspberry and Lime...

Greetings from Flixon Breweries! I was wondering if someone could perhaps help us. We had a big brew day planned today, and whilst we've got a nice raspberry and lime turbo cider in the bucket, our Wilko's Mexican Cerveza has somehow stalled. We were looking at prime batching and bottling...

My favourite band by far. Thanks for heads-up on Spotify, I've just put it on. I've played them to death that much that I try to stay away from them for periods so that they sound fresh. The remarkable thing is that I still hear new things in their music. If you get the opportunity, take the...

After a great weekend in the Lakes, we can confirm a couple of things. Turbo Cider can make you very dizzy, and weirdly, it makes your wee smell metallic. Anyway, as long as you bung enough ice in it, it's really quite nice. It didn't taste very high in alcohol, but it obviously was, and...
