I've had a Woodfords 'Headcracker' kit fermenting for seven days now. The instructions say 4-6 days to get down to 1018, but mine's still sat at 1030 after 7. My wife inadvertently unplugged my fermenting cabinet one afternoon and I didn't realise until the next day. The cabinet is insulated...

Thanks for the input, folks. It looks like the scientific method of bunging some in and see what happens looks like the way forward to me :)

It varies from blistering high alcohol mouthwash to incredibly smooth and beautiful! Some of the homemade stuff is extremely good.

Whilst walking over the bridge in the village where we have a house out in Bulgaria just last week, I noticed some wild hops growing around the bridge railings. I pulled off a couple of cones and had a good sniff - smelt lovely! My question is this - I know I can just chuck a few in as late...

You certainly shouldn't eat/drink grapefruit whilst on Amlodipine (which is used to lower blood pressure) I know this from personal experience...... My BP was up to 190/100 at one point, so I was put on a fairly heavy dose of Lisinopril and Amlodipine to try and control it. I was told to take...

I've just ordered 2x Woodfordes Wherry and two Milestone kits off Wilko online. They're doing a 25% discount off the RRPs of £19 and £23 respectively. :thumb:

I hear the UN are sending in a team looking for WMD's* *Weapons of Mass Drunkeness

Looks like you can use a drill to power it....interesting.......

Hope you nail it going round Healey House bends between Netherton and Meltham before laying it up. Or over Holme Moss to Woodhead :thumb:

A Navy one for when you've got a good thing going and then idiots join in and ruin it. TWATO. Work it out yersels'. ;)

That were taken on the track to Maiden Pap (the pointy hill in the picture) and Morven in Caithness winter before last. The GS now has scrapes, scuffs and rust blemishes, but what the hell, I ain't flogging it - so don't care about resale or owt :grin: This November will see me piling off the...

Get yersel one of these:

Get some wine bottles and flog it as this: http://www.sinclairbreweries.co.uk/spec ... serve.html Living in the Far North of Scotland and on the Northern Isles, I've scuppered a lot of Orkney beers......and our local trading post up here on Yell has just got some bottles of this in. :shock...

An excellent write up and a good reminder that brewing doesn't shedloads of fancy kit. :clap:

Hi Jeltz. Yup, in a nutshell you've got it. I've done a few batches but am a relative beginner at this, a couple of suggestions: El cheapo 'value' apple concentrates give decent results, no point in lashing out on expensive stuff until you've got the hang of it (I've only ever used the cheap...

I take it there's no problems storing wine long term in PET? I've got a load of 1ltr PET that I bought off the HomeBrew Shop and never used for my beer, been thinking about using them for rhubarb wine.

A shed within a shed :grin: :cheers:

Well, been a bit of a gap due to a trapped nerve rendering my left arm useless for the past few weeks but finally finished! Rigged up the STC1000 to the 120w tube heater and found that with an ambient temp of around 12C in the byre it was struggling to maintain 20C - so a second 120w tube...

Well, I sat outside me house all night and no bugger flew over and waved to me.

I have a criticism. That red and cream leatherette pouffe: it's awful. :mrgreen:
