So, I'm going to make myself some nettle wine, and would like suggestion on what else to add. If they're a common foragaable plant that would be brilliant, but I do not mind using shop-bought produce. Thank you and God bless

Simple question; should I add some tea to my mead? I am making a gallon of wildflower honey and orange (Using whole orange segments) mead. It will be fermented dry and then back-sweetened. Should I add tannin / tea? Thank you

I'm putting on a gallon of lemon and orange mead today, and have just been doing some last-minute reading and now have a question. Is it okay to use the actual flesh of the orange? Most recipes call for zest or juice, though I assumed using segements would be fine. Now I see people talking of...

My cider is in its secondary fermentation vessel, though fermentation ended probably a month ago and I am wanting to age it. I don't like the idea of it sitting on the lees for such a long period of time and so want to move it, minus sediment, in to a new vessel. I have one question, however...

Hey guys, hope all's well. My cider, as of about 4 days ago, has stopped bubbling. It spent about 2 weeks in primary and has probably been in secondary for a month now. I want to let it sit and to fall clear, but I'm worried that leaving it sitting on all the dead yeast and sediment may perhaps...

I've been making a hard pink lemonade and recently put it in to secondary and added rosehip, hibiscus, raspberry. It's been bubbling away nicely. Only trouble is, it smells. It's not a strong smell, as in I need to put my nose to the airlock to smell it, but when I do it isn't pleasant. I'm...

I'm moving my hard lemonade in the secondary today, with the addition of rosehip, hibiscus, and raspberry (Only 300ml of raspberry juice). I'm just wondering, for a 1-gallon brew, how much of rosehip and hibiscus would you guys recommend?

Morning guys, hope all's well. I racked my cider in the secondary yesterday, where I introduced to it 190g of sugar in the way of 2Lb of peach puree. Now it's been 16/17 hours, and I am seeing no signs of fermentation - No bubbling in the airlock, but also no bubbling in the demijohn, it is...

I've been reading and reading and can't get a definitive answer in regards to adding black tea to cider. I'm about the move my cider in to secondary, where I ill be adding peach. Should I add some tannins in the form of black tea?

When racking my cider in the secondary, I am going to have perhaps 2 pints of excess apple cider. I was thinking of attempting to make some apple cider vinegar? Could anyone give me a quick run-down? I've tried googling it, but I can't find any resources that answer all my questions. If it...

So I'm planning on putting on a gallon of hard lemonade sometime this week. I've found some recipes which look good which I will be working off. However, I would quite like to try a hard PINK lemonade, as I absolutely love it in its non-alcoholic form. The recipe for the hard lemonade (No pink)...

I have a gallon of apple juice brewing. It will soon (By the look of the bubbling, I'mt thinking 2 days) be ready for racking in to the secondary vessel, where peach puree will be added for an end result of apple & peach cider. I have ordered an auto-syphon though I do not think that will be...

Morning guys. I'm looking to buy the syphoning equipment I need to rack my demijohn in to secondary and also to bottle in when ready. I want to get an auto-syphon, and would like one with an in-built filter / sediment trap. Is this what I'm looking for? If not, could you point me to something...

Afternoon guys, hope all's well and you're all keeping safe. So, my apple cider is coming along nicely, bubbling consistently and looking good. Turns out I added too much sugar and I've been told that, chances are, my apple cider should ferment to about 12 / 13% ABV. I will then be racking in...

Hey guys. So, I've just pitched a 1-gallon batch of apple cider which will, in secondary, have 1kg of peach puree added. I've used: 1 cup Dextrose Monohydrate 1/2 cup caster sugar 1.5g Nottingham ale yeast 4.5 litre cloudy pressed (Not from concentrate) apple juice Is there any way to...

Evening guys and thanks for having me. Now I have brewed a couple of times in the past, though never seriously - Merely chucking loads of mixed fruit juice in to a demijohn or two, adding sugar and yeast, and leaving it - Syphon out in to bottles, and drink. It got me and friends ******, but...
