Been brewing beer for a while, and thought I'd have a go at cider.. Always been a fan of Mercury Draught (not hard), so did a few trials.. I'm currently on a small island, that has not many options in regards to brewing, and limited real fruits due to seasons etc, so my only options was a kit...

Hi all, I'm new to beer brewing, and just want to start off with a few kits, before/if, I get serious.. Was interested in trying a mid-strength beer..want to add hops etc.. Has anyone had good experience with "Morgans Australian Gold", or other kits, to make a good mid strength? Thanks in...

Bit of an old reply, but I was going through posts regarding preservatives in juices.. I want to put some lemon juice in a ginger beer recipe I have.. I would usually simply use real lemons and juice them, but as odd as it seems, lemons are difficult to get at my current location..so I was...

OK, thanks for the info everyone.. @GrowleyMonster I am actually happy to bottle, I was just thinking of an easier option, for I am on a small island, and they have no brew stores here.. I can use recycled bottles, but can't just buy a heap of 750ml PETs from a shop (which I'd prefer), as they...

Yeah, I'd be interested in the juice, but most mail comes via ship, and since covid, ships are far less frequent now.. Alternatively most of us get express post mail, which is ok, depending if the store is happy to send that way, but then we have the hassle of bio-security/customs (I'm sure...

Hi Chalkyt, Thanks for your reply. Yeah, in Norfolk, just off OZ. I was mainly just after info on peoples experiences specifically with the 'Mangrove Jack Cider Kits', as that's all I can really try here, for when in season, the apples here are rare and small, and I'd need a heap..there's...

Hi, I am only new here.. I have brewed ginger beer and mead for years, but interested in doing cider.. I'd love to do ciders from scratch, but where I am currently located (Norfolk Island), we rarely get local apples, if so, they are small and not that great, and if we get imported apples...
