Thanks guys.... I did put 1tsp pectalose in at the beginning of fermentation... I guess patience is the key

Its deffo stopped fermentation and has been clearing next to 2 other experimental brews that are almost ready to rack.. Used a clear AJ... Does look like its done all of its settling... As its an experiment I may give it a few more weeks to clear rack it into two clean demijohns.. Add vinclear...

Hi guys Ive made a demijohn experimental TC with apple juice and fruit smoothies... Everythings gone well but its just not clearing.. Its a lovely golden orange colour but like I said is just not clearing. I have a bottle of vinclear and wanted to ask if I use this to clear will it still leave...

Ok so I opened a bottle of this the other day & the batch ive done is not very nice at all... In fact its awful.. Very disappointed.. I cant see it improving wity age but im gonna give it a try

I primed my raspberryade with 7ml per 500ml bottle.. Roughly worked out to 4g sugar, same as 1tsp sugar

Just about to bottle this stuff.. I want to prime it with the molina syrup.. Can someone confirm my maths correct as I dont want any bottle bombs. If using sugar Id be pitting in 1tsp/500ml bottle 1tsp = 4g Label says molina is 64.9g sugar per 100ml 64.9/100 = 0.649g/ml So im thinking i...

Having just started a polish raspberryade brew and looking at the posts using vimto/ ribena cordial as sources of flavoured sugar base, I got to thinking about what other syrups could be used and thought of slush syrup... The type used in slush puppie ice drinks There are endless flavours...

I tried some earlier to sweeten a young cider... Made it taste lkke the red Jaques cider... Lovely stuff

I just picked up 3 bottles of this from Tesco... Look forward to getting something going over the weekend

Both sound great.. Im going on the hunt for polish raspberry syrup today.. Hope I find a few bottles

I started one of these off today.. Switched half of the sugar for light dme and brewed a little short at 21litres... First impressions the brew looks a bit darker than I was expecting in the FV.. Smelled great while the can was sat in hot water.. Im hoping this turns out well.. Will be trying to...

Ive got one of these kits to have a go at... Ive got some wilkos brewing sugar and dme.. Do u recommend folowing recipe or swapping half the sugar for DME?? Also if doing again would you brew light to say 20 litres or once again stick to recipe?? What temps did u brew this at also please Thanks

Thanks for reply... I guess ill just leave it for a while see how it goes... Would it clear better at lower temps?? Ie around 16*C rather than at 22*C or doesnt temp matter that much?? Also how long would u leave it in secondary vessel if you wanted to bottle condition to a good fizz

Thanks for the reply. I didnt move the FV at all.. I syphoned it off from where it had sat for 10 days.... I guess patience is the key... Hopefully itll settle in secondary before bottling or if not whilst in the bottle.. I guess only time will tell... What about moving the secondary to a...

hi all Im on my very first cider brew (wilkos forest fruit) and last night racked from primary to secondary last night after 10 days of fermentation at around 22*C.. My question is around colour and clearness.. When first put into primary the colour was a red/ pinky but when I racked it over...

Thanks... How would I ensure that the yeast didnt drop out and stayed in suspension? Would I be best not leaving it for too long in the primary once fermentation had stoooed or would it be better to just bottle it straight away? Or would the cider benefit from 24 hours in a secondary to help it...

Hi there Im on my first cider brew and Im planning to leave the brew in the primary for a good few days after fermantation has finished to give the yeast time to settle & clean up.. I then plan to rack into a secondary and leave for another week or 2 before bottling. First question is will I...
