I'd consider adding a row for additional flavour characteristics. Like Citra hops (among others) add a grapefruity flavour to beer. I know that some of them are a bit subjective but I think for some people (certainly myself) those flavours can be a reason for trying a hop (or beer) out

Set up an insect home ( the ones with hollow bamboo canes)near anything at risk from aphids. Should mean you get a lot of hungry ladybirds, too sleepy to fly, crawling all over your garden looking for food when the aphids start to make an apperance this time of year.

It was tucked away from the fruit juice in my one down by the freezer section in the Luxury range stuff, Ive been in another one nearby and it was in the same place in there.

It's also alot darker in colour than carton juice hopefully that'll carry through into the wine.

Just checked 17g per 100mls and 0.75 litres. so 127g a bottle

Bottled for me. Just that tiny bit easier and you end up with all the sterile (if you time your brews right) plastic bottles or cheap demijohns you will ever need.

Just bought a 4 bottles of this and opened one up to see what I'll be working with, definately tastes more "winey" with much more mouth feel than the carton RGJ. Think I might have a go at brewing this straight (well with just water and a bit of sugar if needed). I would definately consider...

Had a bit of a knock on the learning curve before christmas 2 beers back to back got infected. The first (a coopers lager) I believe was when I dry hopped possibly the bag wasnt as sterile as I thought :doh: . Then second a chocolate stout I made (took a reading to check it was done because it...

Yes the Benny was lovely with that piece of eccles cake and the cheese. (didnt think the eccles cake and cheese worked together though).

Yes, it was truely awful, the guy asked me what I thought, I just said "sorry" and walked away. it had zero hop flavour. It tasted like slightly malty water, it was really flat. If the guys demonstrating it cant make it taste good not sure anyone can without somehow modding it. It was...

I went to the BBC good food & drink show this weekend. Had a good time. Some thing worth mentioning, they had a stand doing those brew your beer in a bag. Have to say if the professionals cant make that stuff taste drinkable theres nothing down for anyone else. made me feek good about my brews...

Back to full price :sulk:

Unles you stabilised to make a flattish cider the sugar in the AJ will ferment. So keep an eye on the sugar levels of the AJ or you could end up with a lot of sediment and/or gas. I'd aim to make cider stronger than I wanted using as much AJ at the outset as possible (or is viable) so I could...

I meant manufactured in Germany. I googled it but it all seems a bit cloak and dagger.

Can you buy German beer kits online anywhere? And if so are they any good?

I used to work in the industry for a bit (although mainly making burglar alarms). The simple answer is yes they work and put off burglars (No matter what you've got they will still break in the trick is to make your house more of a challange than the others around you so they go there instead)...

Better quality ingredients. Homebrew used to be about making cheap beer. the rising price of commercial beer because of taxes means homebrew compannies could raise their prices and therefore use better quality ingredients while still staying cheaper than shop bought or pubs. Because people...

All those hops might get a bit expensive. Maybe pick one or 2 that give the characteristics you really like and go for them. I've not tried the couple of brews I've hopped yet. Maybe someone might tell you which are best and how much to use. What vflavours of the punk do you really like?

Learn something new everyday. I would have thought the heat of them would be enough to put off anyone from trying in the first place.
