Have been drinking Victoria cervesa this afternoon but am moving onto this cheeky number when the sun goes down. 9% good job I don't have to get up for work!

Update: Just tested and down to .996! giving an approx ABV of 10%. Bit of advice as I've never done it before please lads, if I want to halve it to make 20l of hooch before bottling (instead of keeping one for a wine) is it as simple as just adding the 2 demijohns plus water to a FV for batch...

Last 2 of my Cwtch followed by my black cherry cider whilst I listen to my lemon creations bubble away behind the couch :0)

Buggers are bubbling already!

Will give it a sample when fermented and then may sweeten with Candarel or similar. Trial jar was super sweet (and lovely) so hop it may hold on to a bit of sweetness.

Nope! First time and just winged it (with a little digging on the forum of similar recipes)

I've done 2 demijohns today to the following recipe: 20 lemons 50g Fresh ginger 1500g Sugar Zested 10 of the lemons and added zest to a pot with the juice of the 20 lemons, about 1l of water and 50g of finely grated ginger. Warmed it up a bit and added sugar to make a syrup. Meanwhile...

Would love to hear your recipe for both please mate :thumb:

Anyone into their chillies? Never used to be but some ghost/ Naga challenges have converted me. Currently growing some scotch bonnet but want to do some Naga jolokia or Carolina Reaper next year so where do people get the plants? Also ordered a taster pack of Carolina Reaper nuts, Bombay mix...

Unfortunately it is the wife, 12 yo and 10yo menaces. Oh to have hefener worries instead of henpecked only man in the house ones!

Have been recommended the sv before with being only 5' 9" and I do like the look of them but also have a workmate who has an Er6 f and can't fault it. I quite like the look of the KTM 390 too but not sure how a single cylinder bike would hold up as a commuter?

Currently supping Brewdog Kingpin whilst getting the last of the sun whilst putting the memory of holiday shopping with 3 women to bed

One way is motorway other is town/ A roads, would probably go the twisty way if on a bike. Money not a big issue if I found I liked doing the commute on a bike but probably looking sub £2k for a trial run commuter

Sorry if this is a hijack but I have been thinking of a bike too, I travel to work on what is soon to be a toll road (Runcorn bridge) or via the Mersey tunnel which will both add �£�£�£ to my commute of between 25 miles to the former or 20 miles (ew) to the latter but are...

Orangeboom for a quick one after work, followed by and totally outclassed by my homebrew Cwtch

Just an update, Rose is a roaring success and will definitely be done again, the raspberryade is now bottled after waiting an age for the OG to come down but now if the hydrometer is to believed it is circa 10% ABV! The black cherry turbo cider was bottled using lowicz raspberry to prime in the...

Let us know how you get on. Just drinking first bottle, added 1 tbsp of sugar free Vimto to bottle to sweeten as was quite dry. Mrs had a shop bought Rose chilling so poured both at same time, blind taste test was a clear winner for the homebrew.....result. Cheers Chippy

Done now and finings in, how long before trying? F.G was .990 on both and they smelt very alcoholic, does this mellow when clearing? Also read something about "back sweetening" if dry, how much sucralose sweetener would be an average to add and when? Ta

Beginning to think this degassing is like sending the apprentice for a long weight! Arms are hanging off haha

Following on from my recent experiments it wont be long until my juice wines and raspberryade have finished fermenting. Problem is I dont know what to do now properly! I have secondary's for racking, I have stabiliser, when should I do these? Is giving the demijohns a good shake after racking ok...
