To add to this it tastes better to bottle with it rather than just putting it in when it's in the glass.

I bottled the beers and I added 15ml (1 tbl sp) per 500ml bottle. Now they have finished I have had a couple of each, the Scottish heavy and whisky work very well together and give a hint of the whisky oak, smoke,peat but don't overpower the flavour of the beer. The IPA is a bit too nice as the...

I whilst bottling opened an IPA I added 16ml (1 tablespoon) to it and it was pleasant to drink and not too overpowering. I will see what it turns out like when it's sat for 2 weeks as both the Jura and Dalwhinnie are strong in flavour.

Ooh that's pricey, I Morrisons have an offer on at the moment, £20 for the Jura and £25 for the Dalwhinnie. So it should work out at 78pence per pint. I made a honey based mild with mead yeast that was nice 6% and smooth that with the local honey cost £1.22 per pint.

Yes i get what you are saying, but i like to experiment to get different flavours and strengths of alcohol then i have a varied selection of beers for all occasions. I bottle so i dont get bored of the same thing.

Morning All, i brew from extract and i am looking at having a go adding whisky to some of my beer at bottling. I am about to bottle an IPA and a Scottish Heavy, what quantity of whisky per pint should be added to enhance but not ruin the beer or whisky? I am bottling so I dont ruin the whole...

Irish moss would be ideal but packet finings contain a whole lot of nasty that I wouldn't want in my beer. Substances used as finings include egg whites, blood, milk, isinglass, and Irish moss. These are still used by some producers, but more modern substances have also been introduced and are...

Hi, please look at the contents of finings as these are nasty. I think finings were originally used to clear beer in barrels that hadn't travelled well, breweries would call to the pub add finings to help clear. Hence pubs advertising fine ales. If you keep a constant temperature with the wort...

It comes with quite a few fittings, I have an outdoor tap in the out house which it fits straight on to.

Attached are the bottle washers I use. Got the tap pressure rinser which will remove the most stubborn of bottle residue. The second is the one I use Milton sterilising solution in which sterilises the inside and the outer of the neck. I then put the bottles on a bottle tree to drain. I have...

I bought this bottle washer off eBay for a few pounds and it is very effective

Thanks. I also use a stock app to keep my tally and I also use the abv app to calculate the %

Hi All, I like making beer and I like drinking beer. I really enjoy when someone else drinks my beer and likes it over beer from a pub. Been brewing beer for about 20 years mainly from extract kits and I play around with yeast,sugars,volumes of water to alter flavour and strength to suit. I...
