    Equipment For Sale Cider Making Equipment for Sale

    A friend of mine is selling the stuff in the photo. It was left behind by the person he bought the house off last year. There’s a number of apple trees in the grounds so I assume the previous owner made his own Cider. Current owner has never used it so it is all sold as seen. Open to offers but...

    Brewzilla Silicone Tube

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn’t find anything in a search. I’d like to replace the silicone tubing on my Brewzilla 3.1.1. The one that attaches to the sparge arm. Does anyone know what size diameter it is?

    Low Carbonation - Can it be fixed?

    I’ve just tried a bottle of a lager I made on 13th November. It was packaged on 2nd December (one keg and 4 bottles) but I’ve obviously under done it with the sugar in the bottled ones as the carbonation is really low 😥. Apart from that, it seems very nice. This is really frustrating as I was...

    Benfleet Brewery Brewdays

    28th December 2022 Intrigued to try to make a MM Ghost Ship clone but with a difference by using the ingredients I had (should be close enough 🤔) and not using quite as many hops as suggested, I set about this on 28th December. Malts should be close 🤞, yeast is similar but CML brand, and I...

    Jarrylo Hops

    I’ve just picked up 100g Jarrylo from WHS as they were on special offer. Just wondered if anyone here had used them before and had any suggestions? Thanks.

    Finding out water profile when using more than one water source

    Ok, probably more a maths question than a water one but this somehow has me stumped. I often use a combination of RO and tap water as a starting point for my brew water then adjust as required. So, as an example, The way I work out the starting point when using 50% RO and 50% tap water is to...

    First go at Wine kits - But I did make some alterations.

    Having had two attempts at making Rose wine from supermarket fruit juice as explained elsewhere on this forum, my Son bought me a Wine Buddy Cabernet Sauvignon kit for Father’s Day. However, as I prefer White wine to red, I went through the Amazon returns process to try to swap it. To cut a long...

    First ever Rosé wine

    Having taken some inspiration from this forum I started the process to make Wine for the first time yesterday. I followed a recipe on CML website for an Easy Rosé but replaced the suggested blueberry juice (which seems to be about as accessible as Rocking Horse s**t) with apple juice. Very...

    Diluting Wort

    Just finished brew day, pitched the yeast and cleaned up but when I went inside to check the OG reading of the sample I took to write up my notes and realised I’ve overshot my predicted OG by quite a lot. Brewers friend predicted it to be 1.050 but it’s ended up at 1.060. I really don’t want a...

    Torrified Wheat and Carapils?

    I recently ordered 3kg Torrified Wheat and 3kg Carapils with the intention of using the Carapils with Pilsner malt for lagers and Wheat with MO in recipes for ales. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding and I’ve ended up with 6kg of a Carapils and TW mix. They have offered to replace the...

    CML Cali Common - Back in Stock

    I see that CML have their Cali Common yeast back in stock. I used this all the time for Pseudo Lagers but they stopped doing it a while back. I think it is the same as Mangrove Jacks M54 but a fraction of the cost. I’ve just ordered 5 packs for a little over a pound a pack.

    How long will RO water keep in 5l water bottles?

    I’ve drawn off 20l RO water in prep for brew day tomorrow calculating for a pale ale profile using 50% RO, 50% tap water plus additions. However, it has only just occurred to me that I'm adjusting this water to a sulphate/chloride profile not too dissimilar to my tap water so I may as well just...

    Best Beer Names

    I think I’ve seen references to this in other threads with people mentioning the great names that some beers have. A couple of examples I recall seeing on this forum are an NEIPA called “Juice Forsyth“ and a Brut IPA called “Brut Reynolds“. What prompted me to post this is that I’ve just seen...
