So i was just wondering.. can cool drink like fanta etc be fermented, and how would the outcome work? Where i work i can get lots of free "out of date" drinks, was thinking about doing something with it. The abv wouldnt be any higher than around 4% without adding any extra sugar, so maybe add a...

So I poisoned my yeast with too much sugar. Is a sugar carbonation too much to ask, without adding a higher grade yeast; ie wine yeast? The stout just tastes like stout, with a strong treacle after taste.. but its as black as .. uhhh..... blackness. Cant even see daylight through it...

So what exactly is a mead? I realise its basically a honey wine, does that mean I can just mix honey and water, throw some champagne yeast in and let it go? Add a few fruity flavours, then enjoy? Or is it much much more complicated than that? Toying with ideas of the next brew I compile. Either...

Sitting here thinking and drinking, I thought back to ny creamiest brew to date, which made me think even more.. has anybody made a beer so creamy they decided to call it Satans orgasm, and if so how did that get achieved?

Well, I'm looking for something new. Something light and refreshing. Yet still thick and bodily. Not dark at all, although the opposite of water. Something about 5-5.5%. A good sesh beer, one which can be drunk at ease while telling stories of the time a shark bit my kneecap... Hey, that don't...

I made a stout up the other week, its about 8% which is where I wanted it, just a fairly simple question. If I wanted a less sweet one, without losing any alcohol content, could I stir in say a few hundred grams of treacle after the initial kilo, adding new yeast with each addition? Would I need...

Just thinking I was sitting on top of my broken freezer, only to look up and realise I was entrapped!!1 .. by the room which encounters all the meat and seafood.. way different, but the same height! Guess that's enough these days

I havnt yet made an Apple cider, yet would like to. Just wondering a couple things, would it be alright to just use pure Apple juice? And with that, how would the percentage of sugar compare with the final gravity reading? For example, the juice that's in front of me now is 11.1% sugar, saying...

Well, its finally happened. A so called unbreakable bottle has broken. Just a crack along the bottom, but that alone has caused the beer to go flat. Just a reminder, that even PET bottles designed for brewing and advertised as unbreakable really aren't. Wasn't a very hefty brew either, maybe 6%...

Ok, so a few months ago I made a fruit salad recipe. The recipe said it was quite drinkable early, which I completely agree with. It light and fizzy, with lovely light fruity flavours. Now, it tastes like ****e to be quite blunt and honest. Used amarillo hops and some other hops, can't...

Ok, so I opened a bottle of my wheat beer, and the foam started spraying, so I replaced the lid and waited for the head to die down, then cracked it again with a light push of co2. I know I cleaned and sanitised the bottles correctly, they get filled with the sanitiser outta my tub. Should I go...

I've made a few batches of great tasting beer, and although I still consider myself a beginner, I've started really experimenting with different sugars, flavours etc. Yesterday, I made an Irish stout with dark malt extract, about 1.1kg combined of treacle and golden syrup, (yes I'm Aussie...
