Shame it has not worked out as you expected, the joys of home brewing. Keep working on it and one day, you'll have a fine one for sure.

Be sure to let us know the final product. Sounds good, been wanting to make a ginger beer using grains myself but never got round to it.

Yes well next time i'll give that a go, as I was away during fermentation. Cheers.

The taste I can't really describe apart from not pleasant, all the pulp has separated from the apple juice I had put in which I don't want as I want it thick. I have not thrown it out have kept it to see if the taste will improve if it does not I'm unsure what to do with it. The smell though is...

Not sure what went on, came home from camping and syphoned it into a clean demi john the smell of mango is there but the taste is not so pleasant, I don't know what went wrong. I'm going to leave experimenting to the experimenters and just follow recipes from now on. Be sure to let me know how...

Good luck in your brew I also hope it turns out okay for you but I'm a little sceptical on the mango, why because I don't think you will get much mango flavour from it.

Sure thing I will let you know how it turns out, it's been going now for 4 days and the pulp is separating from the apple juice I had put in. I'm going away for 2 weeks tomorrow, I wish I had left it till I came home.

cheers for the reply AircooledAdam. I'm using the alphonso one I decided to use 2 apple juice and 2 tins of pulp as I never made it before I want it pretty thick also 9% abv hey rocket fuel for the win how was the taste using only one tin, also the thickness? Cheers. Thisledome.

I know you can make cider from that, whether it is just the pulp and add water or the pulp and add apple juice I am unsure of. So if anyone has a ratio for a cider recipe using this would be great I am thinking of using 1 tin to 3 litres of apple juice and go with Champaign yeast.

Has anyone tried the KTC sweetened Alphonso mango pulp in a tin? I have tasted some cider made from it and it's very thick and tasty. I'm basically wondering on what ratio to use to make a gallon tin size is 850g. Any recommendations appreciated thanks in advance

I have the same issue I rinsed out all my mini kegs I used drained them upside down overnight and recapped them. I noticed that when I went to use these again to store some barley wine beer that I made for xmas last year they smelt a little tinny and metallic and the hole where the bungs go...

okay, thanks for that.

Hi guys, an old buddy of mine says i should use Tokay yeast he highly recommends it. My question to you is have any of you ever used it before if so what wine did you make and what was your results like? I'm open to any suggestions, happy new year.

I'm wanting to give this a bash, but thinking of using honey along with sugar due to the hooch being a sweet flavour anyway. I just suck at the calculations of how much honey to use also should i be deducting that of the sugar? Bare it in mind i want the sweetness without having to back...

At the moment i'm drinking some peach wine and Strawberry cider.

Sure do eskimobob it was 1010. Also the starting reading was 1045 or there about's. It was stuck at 1010 for 3 days so i assumed they had finished. Never heard of a vat before so unsure on that one 31bb3. I'm in the process of getting the small one gallon kegs that i can put in the fridge. But...

Not a stupid question at all, in fact as it was the coldest time of the year i fermented my beer upstairs. The room was thermo controlled at correct temp and i made sure the hydrometer reading was the same after 3 consecutive days so, i am pretty sure that fermentation had finished.

Lately i have found that my beer is spraying, my beer is creating too much co2 and i am waking up each morning to a mess. Now i have not added extra co2 via bulbs or gas cylinder, the co2 is what has occurred naturally during conditioning. I used the correct amount of sugar and my beer is kept...
