Currently on with stewing some oranges in some apple juice and spices and sugar and stuff on the stove. im planning to cool and ferment this sort of mulled turbo cider in a bit when i think its all nice and infused. Is it a good or bad idea to leave the oranges/spices in the fermenter, or...

I know this was a bit silly really but ive been trying to get my beers as bright as possible a nd thought there might be enough yeast in suspension to carbonate my bottled beer but alas no bubbles. ok so i fined the beer there is 0 sediment in the bottles cold conditioned for 2 weeks at around...

I've got a fair idea of my recipe for this but before i post it just wondering if anyone else has attempted to replicate this weizen dopplebock. This is one of my all time favourite beers and was the first one that really turned me on to seriously good beer.

Wow had a bottle shortage last night. mrsstopholes helped me put a bit of a dent in AG#3, a lovely sessionable pale ale, though freeing up some prcious bottles. suffice to say the day is starting slowly but at least i can clear the FV now and get doughing in. just as soon as i clear the havoc...

I think i could have put this in the 'you know when you've been brewing too long' thread. Just been clearing the cupboards out and found some dessicated coconut and some raisins. yes yes i want to put them in my beer. i have tasted examples of this being done before with-Dogfish heads Raison...

I've just finished bottling AG3 which was a bit of a nightmare brewday what with the cooler leaking smashing the hydrometer and various other calamities. AG3 stayed true to form even during bottling (to be fair she fermented out with no problems) when i ran out of bottles. a complete...
