    How to make Turbo Cider.

    My 3rd batch of cider is now on the go. Much thanks to the op and this forum for the inspiration and education. I searched for labelling ideas on here and was rewarded with a link to the beer labelizer website. I can add my recommendation.

    Curry...!!

    We were able to go to the garden centre the other day, so I bought some chilli plants. I have Carolina reaper, Naga and Jalapeno plants. They were also selling grape vines cheap so I bought 16 and have these planted and staked in our veg plot at the farm!

    How to make Turbo Cider.

    Bottled latest batch today and put another straight on. I have another 5ltr demijohn, so am now doing 15ltrs a go. It meant I had to drink the 5 ltrs of wine, but sacrifices have to be made.....

    How to make Turbo Cider.

    I am also using 5 ltr demijohns with 4 litres apple juice. By the time you have added the tea, and the water you dissolved the pectolase in, and the water you hydrated the yeast, you are close to 4.5 ltrs. I top it up with tap water to get it to around that level. I add about 20 - 25 grams of...

    Curry...!!

    Running out of the gravy, just one meal left then I have to make more. Have you tried his aloo gobi? Seriously good! I found a good web site for making paratha, but of a faff but taste so nice!

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Hello again from Italy! Fortunately, southern Italy - and anyone who knows anything about Italy will tell you that those are three words that do not often get said in the same sentence. We are now into our 5th week of lockdown. Nobody in our village has been affected and I know of only two or...

    Curry...!!

    Bought Misty Ricardo's book off amazon, it arrived 'tother day. Went to a local (lol) supermarket and got some really nice stainless steel serving bowls. Fortunately we thought ahead, and have tons of spices of all kinds. All systems go!

    VAR

    A Spurs supporter. I watched the game and it should have been a red. VAR is awful, trust Premier league to get it wrong. The way video is used in cricket, tennis and rugby is good, why has football got it so wrong?

    Wood burners

    We have a Nordica Rosa L as our only heating. It is good because we can also cook on it and in it because of the large top and good sized oven. We do not tend to get the best quality wood to use because we have to wait for wife's brother to source our supply with his, and he leaves it late. I...

    How to make Turbo Cider.

    My first brew of cider - of anything, actually - is now on the go! I am just doing a tester 5L to start with while I await delivery of my siphon kit, proper yeast and hydrometer. Interested to see what ( if anything) comes out.

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    Agree with all that has been said re breaking bad and better call saul. Gomorrah is fantastic, but no good for learning italian since a lot of the language is a neapolitan dialect and it is shown on italy tv with subs. Nobody has mentioned The West Wing. Never been beaten, simply brilliant...

    Hello from southern Italy!

    I have ordered cider yeast and pectolase off of ebay. I should be able to get malic acid here. I need fermentation vessels and a hydrometer, which I am going to look for today. Nearest town is over an hour drive but it is a lovely drive across the mountains to get to the main road - I am lucky...

    Hello from southern Italy!

    Ingredients for beer are scarce hereabouts but wine is a maybe - although the local plonk is very drinkable and costs 80p per litre!

    Hello from southern Italy!

    Hello everyone, Born in London, lived in Nottingham for 30 years and now retired and loving life in a small village, perched atop a mountain in Basilicata, southern Italy. Cider is non existent here, and my wife is partial to a drop, so I am going to try to make my own. I have sent off for a few...
