Got one sitting in primary now, probably kegging nxt week! Aroma ia s wonderful!

Has anyone out there ever tried using the light syrup from canned peaches to enhance the OG, in apple cider, while imparting an peachy flavor?

I all, been busy as of late not much brewing going on but I am getting my christmas batches on... Just bottled a festa brew pale ale. It actually sat in secondary, 3 weeks after having been on yeast for 8 days... Bottled tonight, used enhancer, muntons... Questions, it actually tasted...

Oh, i wouldn't hold it! Build a base, lexan shield, clamp down co2 spigot with rubber sealing gasket, and possibly sit it on a rocker plate.... The tough part will be explaining to my wife, why exactly it's worththe time and basement real-estate.... Champagne and swing top bottles are rated...

Thanks, think i might have to jerry rig something!??

Is there any way to force carb swing top bottles?

Sorry, typing on an Ipad!

He only thing bette then hime made fish and chips is home made fish and chips with homebrew beer batter! Wowtastic!!!

So, it's bottled and primed, i had one with a leaky seal due to an old rubber. So when i heard the hissing, figured I might as well not waste time with that one and taste the product. To my surprize... It was already much better. So i re stoppered it and put it in the fridge and several hrs...

Great to know... Just thought it was a little funny!

Happily married, and have a wonderful son. I do that when they are in bed...i only sleep a few hrs a night, so lots of time to do these odd things.

M i the only one who does this, i go down to the basement and can just stare a the bubbling airlock for an hour, hypnotized by the gurgling and bubbling of the little yeasties working hard for no other reason then to produce my beer! Thanks yeasties!!!

Thanks, how did it turn out.... Did you use whole fruit, mashed fruit or juice?

F i would like to make a raspberry brown ale, or a cherry wheat ale.... When do I add the fruit mash?

His is sort of two questions... I am pitching a festabrew wheat tomorrow, now when it's done fermenting should I add a clearing agent as wheat ale is often served cloudy... Amd second, what is best for priming for bottling, dextrose, kreamix etc...? Thanks in advance! Bodo!

Thanks! I will read the sticky on pasturizing!

Well, 4 days away does good! Down to 0.020 and 4.6% abv. If I like the taste as it is can I kill the fermentation with campden tabs?

HI, i have a muntons brown ale on the go. It's pretty well fermented out but the sample was a little weak in taste. Will it improve with more time or are there any tweeks that I can do now? It's not bad, just a tad watery tasting. If nothin else, i will make black velvets (poor mans). with cider

Thank you!

Yes, 5 days to be exact. However, there is no activity. I am away for a couple of days so my upitiness is not as tried! I will check when I get home.
