So a further update, They have been in the fridge for nearly a month now, had a little taster D&B made with the fizzy pop is pritty tasteless but drinkable I wanted the D&B flavour to hit me, but it dosent maybe use 2 bottle or some apple juice, the D&B made with roots has improved but again...

Im sure it was Dan Star but that number looks familiar, good to see that i should be ok, thanks

Hi I had a Sasion stove topper on the go (all grain) been fermenting for over 2 weeks now, there was some bubbling that i could see in the demi-john small bubble, with the air lock not bubbling, however the air lock has seem to started going again last night, Is this normal , I thought 2 weeks...

so after being in the bottle for a little while (i know not long enough) i cracked one of each open last night the D&B made with the fizzy pop was fizzy a taste less fizz with the slight flat D&B after taste this might improve with time. the One made with roots was awful not that fizzy (due to...

thanks for the input its always reassuring to get others opinions, think i will use 3/4 of the tropical juice and prime with the remaining juice, the once i get the first one on i can start tweeking it to suit my tastes. its all panic panic panic until that first one is under your belt then its...

I like sweetish cider (old mount) but looking around the forum it seems if you add tropical juice for example, its turns out dry with no or not much flavour, so could you make the TC with apple juice, then add the tropical juice to prime the bottles to make it fizzy and add flavour? or do...

I have got 2litre of tesco 100% apple juice 1litre of tropical juice 1litre of raspberry syrup I was thinking 2litre of apple juice and tropical juice in the demi john (should be about 300g of sugar in the juice) so put another 100g of brewing sugar in, top up with water to 4.5 litre add...

Ok guys bottled both experiments last night and tasted them as well, the one made with the D&B fizzy pop was pretty tasteless although you could just Taste the D&B, I think maybe do it with apple juice or 2 bottles of D&B instead of 3litres of water, but it might taste better when left in the...

My Wife loves old mount cider as do I, has anyone done a kit or got a recipe thats quite like it? thanks

I found that i couldnt get the bung out when the tyre valve is in, and did have to push it into the barrel to remove, luckily i have girly small hands and got valve out (still took awhile) but could tie some string to it to get it out. the valves i used were car tyre valves and most co2 pumps...

another little update i still havent got any 2 piece bungs as the price of posting a 70p bung is crazy (im such a tight ass) so Im still using vented bungs with a bike valve and then put a metal compression olive like the ones you get in the plumbing section of a d.i.y store, this seem to stop...

just an update, that fermenting is about finished so looking to bottle this weekend I will keep you all posted

either 34 or 35, since my 30s i have blanked my age from my memory,

I have that coolbox which i use as a fridge when camping, the thing i would say is after a few days cooling our food I found it produces water in the the box, whether or not this would infect your brew is anyone guess, just thought I would add that if it helps at all

this is the tool to use to remove and refit the inner part of the tyre valve http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Silverline-Tyre-Valve-Core-Remover-Tool-ideal-for-Van-Car-Bike-tyres-/272271930663?hash=item3f64abf527:g:DcUAAOSw0OJXLxqw i see you mentioned it takes 16grm of co2 to empty a MK, and you...

i was just going off a few different recipes that i saw, they seem to all say roots, the worrying thing is i saw someone in the forum ask about using D&B pop then thats the last thing he posted :-?. So dies the vimto not work i was thinking of doing that next but the no added sugar one if they...

update I had a better vent bung which i used i managed to get 20lbs of pressure in it but it leaked slightly from the grommet over the valve, and the empty one i put pressure in last night only had a small bit of co2 left in, so im thinking that the 2 piece bung will be better which i will order...

I tested it last night with water and the co2 pushed the water out,so im thinking if there is enough co2 in it it will come out? before i put the rubber grommet over the valve, the co2 was leaking out of the vented bung as it has that tinny vent hole in it, I just pulled the valve to one side...

I got the tyre valve from a kit of tyre slim for when you have a puncture, got again of ebay (im not affiliated with ebay:lol: just buy lots of stuff from there) yes i thinks its a shchrader valve but normally bike tyre are attached to the inner tube arent they? My co2 tyre inflater does both...
