Its going to be a nightmare with packaging crystal_ball so if your going that way makes sence for you to have the kegs.

Have you and feedback on this 10ltr batch you did. Thinking of making this as a step into my first ag normally a kit brewer with hop additions and cider. Also pretty newbie question as to ag but flaked maise is there a diference between flaked maise from a homebrew shop and animal feed...

Looking for a couple kegs to add to the collection. New keezer holds double... may be persuaded to sell old one if i cannot convert my old man from bottling to kegging. In rotherham however happy to pay postage costs to seller.

This is how i do it. Also been of the impatient type :)

that'll teach her :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

when i first started brewing WOW type wines instead of cider SWMBO would drink the wine before i had finished bottling it :x i now have to lock half of it away so it ages a little before she inhales it :drink: i am lucky to see a bottle out of a gallon of each batch :cheers:

looking good so far did you take an sg reading at the start?

i always use the bags with my wines as i serve at family parties and its easy to put in middle of table. after fermentation i rack off to second vessel adding the usual campden tablet per gallon and kwik clear if necessary, then allow to clear and to bulk age for months then a couple of days...

swmbo was nearly very angry with me on one of my batches. i suspect the 9% raspberry pure makes it react like a rocket.. increasingly fun to watch on the second day though as she was running around trying to find my drip tray to save cleaning the cooker :whistle: although made to perfect...

1 ltrs apple and raspberry and 1 ltr wgj, but because the apple and raspberry is 100% juice if you put two in the dj its abit full on. most juice drinks shop bought contain a percentage of water within them and are not 100% juice. i made 2 djs of this one with wgj and one with rgj. i much...

started a DJ of this yesterday and one exactly the same but with blackberries as well, both smelling pretty awesome and fermenting away nicely. cnt wait to try them both out and see how they compare

i have done this before with apple and raspberry juice and with just plain apple juice. Add the blackberries into a pan with kettle water. simmer and mash with potato masher. add pectolase, cover and leave for 24hrs. sieve the juice from the pan into (DJ) via funnel and use back of spoon to get...

slightly jealous is an understatement great build mate looks amazing.

thanks for the reply oldbloke i may try adding it one time if i feel a change regards alex :hat:

well it is truly blackberry season in S.Yorks, i have all mannor of family members bringing me bags and bags of blackberries after last years Christmas gathering. I think they may be hinting at something :wha:

how long after you added the pectolace did you pitch your yeast? i have found leaving the pectolace for 24hrs to work on the blackberry's and rhubarb and then making the yeast starter and adding it means a pretty rapid start to fermentation as the pectolace will slow the yeast down at the start...

what exactly is the purpose of malic acid? i have never used it in any of my brews weather they be from kit form or from using my own ingredients and never had a problem without it. but reading a lot of recipes on here, the more experienced amongst you add a tspn of it for ever gallon in the fv...
