And I have to say... 'eeurrgh' It's very, err, sharp. I think that the taste is there but I definitely felt the string tugging on my eyeballs... I'm not sure that the small amount of Splenda I added is going to cut it as it's not the dryness but the acidity that the problem. I don't think...

Hi guys, I've got these in the garden. Can I brew with them?

Sigh....

I'm just making a barm bread starter and notice that it's very similar to an ale starter (bar the yeast nutrient). Is it a good idea to sprinkle a bit of of YNB into it, or would it 'taste' the bread? I'd appreciate any advice as this is my first barm bread. TIA :)

I think I'll settle down with a pint and enjoy this one! :D

I'm not sure if it's the done thing but I'd like to give a shoutout to The Cottage Smallholder blog for it's excellent recipes. http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/category/drinks/liqueurs/

Thought I would put this here as this got me into the Homebrew bug a couple of years ago :) http://www.cottagesmallholder.com/gilberts-blackberry-whisky-recipe-422/ Mr R's work premises had some wonderfully sweet blackberries that I first made into jam and mixed some leftover berries with...

Hi all! I've just started my first homebrew (Festival Golden Stag). It's started bubbling ( :clap: ), and is slow and steady but each release is so fierce that it's pushing the water out of the airlock! This has never happened with my wines (I'm sure I haven't over-filled the trap) but I'm...

Well I have started with apple wine, but to keep my husband interested in my new hobby I thought that I tackle my first brew today and so spent a happy afternoon starting Festival Golden Stag (hopefully) in time for Christmas. It looked a little darker in the FV than I expected but I'm sure it...

Hi everyone. I've just found this forum, a great relief as I've 4 demijohns of apple wine on the go and I think I might need all the help I can get! :)
