sounds lovely i might try making that

I saw that, but since you need 250ml per gallon that works out a tad more expensive

Awesome! I dont suppose you have a tried and trusted recipe to hand? Many thanks

Thanks led so if i put 250g in a litre of aj and blended it together and just added it to the fv I should be good to go? hoping to make a nice pint gringo or sauv blanc type wine

How much water would you use for the first method? Also for the second method do you just add the sultanas to a demijon of water or to the actutal "brew"? and what would you top up with after straining? Thanks

How long did you smoke the garlic for? I have done whole bulbs but was under impressed. ( about 6 hours) maybe i should have broken the bulb apart

Does cold smoking count? I made a side of smoked salmon along with some cheddar and brie for Christmas

Chippy were you talking about the rose? I am pretty sure that was the rose i made but it was very fruity as opposed to dry maybe i didnt let it ferment out enough? JCR sorry I should have said i am making WOW and not from a kit

I have make a few TC now but generally they have been fruit based for my son. I did make a "sort of cider", which when back sweetened and mixed with a dash of AJ is ok but I would like to make a plain cider for myself. I really like Wyld wood cider but generally drink Scrumpy jack. Does anyone...

Mrs S does love a white wine or rose with tonic. I have made a couple of rose wines that are on par with the cheap suermarket rose but a bit sweet for her. Does anyone have a recipe for a good dry rose and a good dry white wine. For the white she like Soave and pinot grigio and for the pink...

I made the original recipe ( the red grape juice one) and although it tastes ok there is no fizz at all. I added a few sprinkles of yeast to each bottle and 1stp of sugar. Put in the fermenting fridge for about 10 days and the bottles (tonic water) are not that firm at all. The TC I made at...

I have some rhubarb TC on the go at the moment. But I used fresh rhubarb I added 500g sugar to 800g of fresh cut rhubarb. and let it macerate overnight. Then I simmered it for about 20min. strained it through a sieve to give me 350ml of juice. Added that to 4L apple juice and 150ml water. This...

Well I was toying with the idea of just buying a cheap sodastream and giving it a go. BUT... a bit of research came up with theses two babies: Mastrad Pure Fizz Fizzy Bubble Soda Drink Maker Drinkmate Sparkling Water and Soda Maker, Carbonates Any Drink, These both claim to be able to...

Kelper Thanks for that. I have left it for a few days so will see what happens. I know that a schrader valve is a tyre valve. is this a direct replacement for the s30 valve or an addition? Thanks

Do you still do this? Have you perfected a method yet? thanks in advance

thanks for the replies. the guy actually gave me the barrels. I had to force some money on him. the pressure lid is new and the seals were greased prior to use. I wonder if by putting in the bulb during the secondary I over pressured it but it let too much gas out. then I took it out the...

Getting hold of the S30 cylinders is a bit of a problem at the moment. Its more the problem of only being able to draw 2 pints before the pressure runs out. That doesnt seem right to me (but what do I know?)

UPDATE So I put in about 20L of cider and primed it with sugar. I left it for 2 weeks but needed room in the fermenting fridge. Before i took it out i used a throwaway CO2 cartridge. It obviously was already gassed as the valve released the excess CO2. I then moved it out to the cold shed...

On the back of making a rhubarb TC I decided to make a peach WOW 3 small tins of peaches in wgj which gave me 87g of peaches and 400ml wgj blended it all together and then added AJ. Got myself into a tizz and couldnt understand why the hydrometer would not read - It doesnt like froth!! syphoned...
