Ha ''Homicyser'' thats hilarious. I realise that this is not the most valuable input to the thread but it had to be said.

its a 1 gallon batch with red star champagne yeast. and i used enough water to nearly fill a 1 gallon carboy. Not that it matters anymore i gave up and made a 1 gallon batch of JAOM. and stuck exactly to the ingredients. Needles to say i did not want a repeat of my last attempt

I think my best bet is to toss it out and try joes ancient orange recipe. Glad i didnt have to wait a few monthe to realise the extent of my mistake, could have had some funny results. Thanks hopefully this goes better the second time and I can make a hobby of it

seems like i really made a mess of this. Its about 65f in the room. with a sachet of champagne yeast. and yes it is a recipe from storm the castle. And a 1 gallon batch So if I wanted to try to fix this mess i should add some raisins. could you suggest a quantity? And do you know anything...

I have been waiting two solid days and have yet to see any bubbling in my mead i used this recipe 1lb honey 12 cloves 1 cup strong tea 1 juiced lemon yeast Any ideas explaining the delay? This is my first mead

can anyone recommend a combination of fruits that would go well with edwarts apfelwein. I have not yet made it so can only guess. Im thinking raspberry's but thats just because i like them. Your tips are much appreciated as i am new to brewing

I like the sound of the ''Notty Hard Cider''. Seems like a winner, I'll let you know how it turns out in a few months.

Thanks for the pointers. The help is much appreciated. I found some airlock's that i can get delivered. I'll get to work on it and let you know how it went

i have recently acquired 3 one gallon carboys from a relative and am very interested in brewing some cider. However I am finding it difficult to find an easy recipe which does not require a lot of specialist items. Could any of you recommend me a nice simple recipe that would have the cider...
