    APPLE WINE – initial SG measurement accuracy

    I’ve often wondered this, and suspect that the OG as measured would be an underestimate. But I wouldn’t dare let the fruit hang around for so long without adding yeast.

    Fig Leaf Wine

    I’ve had some success with both oak leaf, and walnut leaf wine (using the CJ Berry recipe). So I’m wondering about using fig leaves. Has anyone tried this?

    Is that true? Very interesting if so!

    Sorry for the delay. I haven’t felt like drinking so far this year. Anyway this Dark Rock Espresso Stout is delicious. Little or no head, but tasted great. Nice body, noticeable but subtle coffee flavour, and bitterness. Very drinkable indeed. Thank you!

    Bonus points for home grown hops!

    I enjoyed this American Pale Ale. Nicely carbonated with a decent head. Bitter hops predominated and it was clean and crisp. Thank you!

    @AJA and @andyb13 Thank you so much for your very generous reviews of my Baltic Porter and Norfolk Belge. I am so pleased you liked my beers. Your praise is all the more encouraging because I am very much a beginner. I have only been brewing for a year or so, and I use minimal equipment. Happy...

    I remember those weekends, all too clearly. We could expect very little support from the consultants on-call in those days.

    I adapt templates from the Beer Labeliser website, print them, cut them out and stick them on.

    Rules on free bar social club

    You have hit the nail on the head. The issue here with HMRC is duty paid (or not) on alcohol. With supermarket booze, duty has been paid. With home brew, duty has not.

    I remember losing lots of money in faulty machines!

    Two more new kits from Mangrove Jacks

    I’d like to try this one. What did you use for the “extra fermentables”

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    The Walk-In with the always excellent Stephen Graham is well worth watching.

    Yes, it is still available. And I think is undergoing a mini revival. I’ve started shooting film again. On my 1980s era Pentax. Second hand 35mm cameras and lenses sell cheaply on eBay. But the film and developing are quite expensive!

    Had a summer holiday job driving this van for Verrechia in the early 80s.
