Hi Guys Hope you are all well. Was just reading around on how to reduce foam when kegging. And saw this, not sure if anyone has any thoughts http://myadventuresinbrewing.blogspot.com/2009/07/too-much-foam.html (I don't like having too much line and I struggle to get the beer cold...

Hey Guys I currently have a king keg and although it can carbonate beer quite well, it does not seem to allow enough pressure. As the safety value just goes off. I am looking a doing quite a lot of force carbing and then botteling. Thinking maybe metal kegs could be the way forward? I...

Drinking my Graff... mmm it is good. :mug: Anyway when I make it next year would like to make it slightly less tart. What is the opposite of tart and how do you do it? The recipe says maybe darker crystal malt, would this help? Would not like my cider any darker if possible, not sure it...

:tank: Been aiming for this for a while but think I have finally achieved it :ban: A cider that is similar to the sweet ciders you buy in the shops. What I did was 1) Apples from my own trees 2) washed and pressed 3) Added Camden (kill natural yeast and germs) and pecitolase (eats...

Hi Me Waffeling I have just finished drinking my cider mark III made using home grown apples and Graffs great recipe. Anyway of course the cider has always improved through the stages and this time I want to create a really grade cider where I don't have to have a few drinks first for...

Hey Graff cider has been much much nicer than my first attempt of just slamming turbo yeast in DJ with home pressed apple juice... Now I don't think it will take long to get through 42 pints ;) Just want to make it even better next time :mug: The taste is still not quite as clean as store...

Hi I made cider from home grown apples which I pressed my self. I used youghs cider yeast and did a 2 week primary, a 1 week secondary and then bottled it for 2 weeks. I knew it was not going to taste great after only 2 weeks botteling but it really was horrid. Tasted like gone off apple...

Hi I have just brought a job lot of stuff (2 King Kegs, Heaters, corker and more!) The only problem is the fermentation bins have solid lids so I would need to fit an airlock to produce my turbo cider in there. Is it possible to buy lids (in UK) for them with airlock holes or is there...

When do you plant hops in the UK and where do you buy them from. I have plenty of space could even start growing them in pots inside if that is what works best. Sorry if it has been asked before everything in the stickys seemed to be about US hop growing...

Made this in photoshop - is not as good as I would like and need some ideas for improvements so if anyone has any post them here :mug: The lable is currently designed to go round the whole bottle but I am thinking of changing this to one on each side - any thoughts? Also what other...

A weakish (3.5-4.5%) bitter with not to much of a stong taste. Kind of like larger but nicer. If anyone has tried "Stones Bitter" from Yorkshire or Abbot Ale from Kent then they may have an idea. There are many recipes on here - just not sure which to choose! Any ideas would be insane...

With bits of wood plastic and metal from round my house (Plus £1 worth of bolts I had to buy) I managed to make a cider press. After pulping the apples (2 buckets worth) I put them in a sterilized old pillow case ready for pressing. In the end from 2 buckets of apples I got one bucket of juice...

Hi Guys I have been doing a lot of Google research and reading round the forum as I wait for my apples to be ready for harvest but I still have a few outstanding questions. If anyone could answer any of them I would be very happy :) So far I have brought some Youngs cider yeast 5...
