Think this is another one on the list for next week :D

Cool, cheers for that I will give it a go with something :)

The recipe did say to boil first and add the sugar but I didnt have the time as I had my daughter so I had to swop it round a bit, but I thorght raising the temp would make it a bit easier to desolve the sugar a bit. I like the idea of a rose wine, only problem I have is I dont know anyone with...

not posted in a bit, in fact not since the spring thing :( so here is one of my latest brews, went to a party at my mums house and as she was going away for a few weeks she got the kids to pick all the flowers in the garden so she didnt come back to a garden full of dead ones, a lot of which...

Will really try and make this one :D where about in frodsham is the bar?

Tis just my experience of them and I have just used them the once, others might have had more luck

The wilko corks are **** imo, I have used them once and they all disintegrated when you tried to get them out :( half the bottles we had to dig the corks out of :lol: and lost a few bottles that could have been re used because I had to push the corks inside, well worth spending a bit more on...

Not too bad one all the onions were out :lol: did a gravity reading the other day and it is now down to 1.030 after a month of fermenting so thats a drop of 0.100 so far :D

Oh feck, totally slipped my mind :( will try and make the next one

It get racked off the onion after a week and its still fermenting away nicely, havent taken another gravity reading yet but might do it later on this week to see how its going, still looks a murky brown at the moment :lol:

Got a bit of a problem :( so I keged 5 gallons of bitter a while back, left it for two weeks in the warm, and it has now been in the cool for a couple of weeks, so tried a bit yesterday and one of my mates had a couple of pints and all was good :) if anything it was blasting out rather fast...

Once I can get space for a fermenting fridge I am looking at doing one of the lager kits but swapping the yeast over for a lager yeast to see what happens, havent got space or money to go AG yet but that is the long term plan :D

I got it nearly right :D :lol:

I have just brewed the same kit :D but am still waiting for it to condition. The problem I think you will have is the kits use a beer yeast not a lager yeast, now I am still new to this so I could be wrong but a lager yeast ferments at about 15 degrees where as a beer yeast likes about 20...

Bit late in watching it (have had to avoid FB for a while :lol: ) best race I have seen in ages, shame cal had that little mistake and if rossy hadnt have had his mistake I think it could have been a fight for first :D but cant wait for the rest of the season now :D

Will try and get along to this, better still that its just down the road from the train station so I can have a pint without having to worry about the car :D

Think the pouring a beer sounds like the best plan :D it hasnt conditioned yet but I suppose in the interest of quality control I best make shore its ok before I take it to the spring thing :lol:

Ok so I know this isnt adventuring too far but I have tried keging a couple of brews in plastic kegs with SC30 valves, so all is going well, primed as per the instructions for keging and has been in there a week in the warm with a week to go, so here is my dilemma, had a bit of a look at the keg...

There is a place in Northwich too called brew2bottle, sorry cant do a link as I am on my phone

I started with a wine starter set, just depends on what sort of wine you fancy doing, for the kit wines they are fine but I found that if you want to do the country wines with fruit or any lumpy bits then an extra plain bucket type fermenter comes in handy but they are only an extra £10 ish on...
