Has anyone come across these. Having just purchased a TAD system I googled around and came opon these tops(Caps)
So far I have started a Apple(Cider) and Red Grape(Lumbrusco) They have been fermenting for about 4 days.
The caps have a pressure release membrane. The idea is to ferment to the desired sweetness and ABV then refrigerate to stop the yeast and let clear.
I had to taste the Cider after 2 days and I was pleasently surprised. I like a dry taste and it should take about 8 days for the yeast to consume the sugers in the Apple juice.
I used the no preservative 2 litre varieties. I have a recipee for "Ye Old Ginger Beer" which I will try also as the caps are pressure release I shall use the high pressure ones(40psi) with a 2 litre Coke Pet bottle to test the recipee.
One of my favourite tipples is a "Whiskey Mack" with Stones green ginger wine.
I plan to add the right amount of sugar with a high ABV tolerent yeast and brew untill the yeast gets drunk and quits. I think this may take a while but in this case an airlock will surfice. I am looking forward to this journey
The TAD system. Best thing since sliced bread. I now have beer conditioning in the 6 litre bottles and all I have to do is place them on ice for a day and apply the dispenser. Place a flexible ice pack around the bottle and take it with me anywhere. $2aud / bottle I can live with a daily paper almost costs that much. I have made room nin my shed and need to install shelf's to accomodate.
So any recipee's for the OZtops would be most welcomed.
Cheers
