Thats a great post thankyou, I will try that, its exactly what I wanted. Ive done a few beer kits and have equipment for for wine and Cider home brews. I reckon the stew pot will hold at least 5 litres maybe more!!

Hi there, I'd really appreciate some advice. I struggle when reading about processes, but I generally do well when doing the process, and learn from the doing. So I've saved up some money and want to buy some kit. I don't have a lot of space but where should I start? It will be mostly small...

Hmm living in Devon im always interested in cider ideas... or maybe its just my preference! There is a minimum order of £250 for free delivery, unfortunately I canot remember the conditions for an ac. however the BC wine is bubbling like crazy so im feeling confident :cheers:

you may be right it may well be too strong or to sweet! I only used a standard wine yeast I hope it holds out.... Well the the Rocks is £3.90 ish a bottle in the health food shop, but I got it wholesale from Suma for my cafe and paid £1.90+vat.

Hi thx for that, I have used about 1.5lt of squash and 500 gram sugar from a solution syrup, i am guessing that'll be about 2llb sugar. Sort of a ribena recipe adaptation.. Fingers crossed

Ok ive just started drinking this and its really good, quite sweet and lovely strawberry flavor. It wasnt too pricey to make 4 jars of Tesco jam at about 80p each plus sugar

Hi there well Ive been wanting to try out the Ribena wine but was put of by the boiling, I noticed that Rocks organic squash doesn't have any preservatives in it, its just juice, water and sugar so I was wondering if anyone has tried this as an option?

Well I got 4 to go with the 12 I already have.

Hiya, if you live in or near to Exmouth the recycling center has a bunch say 12+ of Glass clear Demijohns and a few brown ones good for 50p each, all a bit mucky but the ones I looked at were in good nick. Cheers Christian

I would try another yeast next time but i need to add yeast asap and only have access to either the GP or the Alcotec Yeasts available..:-( Serves me right for getting excited about a recipe and not reading it carefully enough before starting the process..

Hiya ok I posted the recipe in the recipe area, viewtopic.php?f=41&t=33514 Cheers Christian

So here's the recipe from my book, 1000 wine and beer making hints and recipes isbn: 0720716462 1.36 kg strawberry jam 3.4 litres warm water 9oz grape concentrate 5ml tartaric acid Pectic enzyme double quantity Sauternes yeast 9 oz sugar 1 Camden tablet Dissolve the jam in the water, leave to...

Of course I shall type it up tomorrow Cheers

Thank you, the Alcotec yeast has nutrient in it already i think so I shall try that and see what happens!

Hi there, I have just made a strawberry jam wine from an old homebrew Recipe book. It's looking good so far but the recipe suggests using a Sauternes wine yeast goof for 16%..I don't have this, but I have got some Alcotec yeast, or I could use a GP wine yeast. I know the Alcotec yeast is good...

Thx for the advice, the guy on the market has a Mexican Cerveza kit for fourteen quid so i might try that tomorrow, anything else is going to take time to get. Kind regards Christian

Hi there, can anyone recommend a lager kit that I could put on now that will be ready for Chrimstmas? I have two son in laws coming over and both prefer lager! I quite like lagers that have lots of taste and a good strength as really i prefer real ale.. Thx

Thx guys, it's true it is underwhelming but at this price I thinks it's ok, I added the stopper a few days ago and have racked it off into a 5 gallon cider keg! Wifey and I drank with it with pizza last night and it was really quite drinkable.. :cheers:

hi there, i have got one of these on the go at the moment, its still fermenting fairly rapidly at day 18, about 1 bubble every 5 seconds. Should i just out the stopper in it or wait a bit longer, advice welcome thx

Hiya, how did you get on with this? I have also just got the same kit for £12!! any tips Thx
