Really? 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit = 4.5 - 10 degrees Celsius Seems low, or have i worked it out wrong? lols. As its currently closer to 70s = 21 degree celsius i've read about lagering on that site and it all talking in time scales of between 3 -6 weeks for totally process. The instructions...

I've not tried any home brew lagers before so i took a guess at what might be okay. Has anyone tried Coopers Mexican Cerveza? If so what commercial beer does it slightly remind you of if any. Its currently in my shed with a brew belt. Is their any thing i should watch out for when making...

I put a cup of sugar then added water to melt it. Then added it straight to the wine brew. after transferring it to secondary and within two hours fermentation restarted.

Ive been making cider and wine in 1 gal batchers for a while. I've been thinking of getting a starter kit for 5 gal what are a good one to get in your view? (in the uk) Also i was considering going for a keg but with more thought it seemed i didn't have the room to cool it and no one likes...

I was wondering how often you hear.. I just cleaned that yesterday! When ever you make a mess.. On a serious note, How often have they really cleaned it... :P

I that start before you add yeast. Then at the end to clarify fermentation has finished. (final gravity around or below 1.000) If it is a little high at the end leave it a couple of days do another test, If it is the same number then fermentation has stopped. If it is low but still not low...

Okays thanks for the confirmation :)

I thought i'd ask here rather then posting a new topic, Did you boil the raisins first or just add them to water with sugar and yeast? thanks

I was wondering if this is advised, Finishing fermentation then adding more sugar and letting the rest of the yeast do it thing again?? or would i need to add a more yeast? (Basically I've worked out i didn't add enough sugar in the first place. And doing this, Would it effect the...

I'm looking at starting going from ciders and wines to beers. Always had cider uncarbed. and made in 1 gallons batchs. So now i'm thinking of heading to doing beer/ales, I've find this start kits ( yes i do have most of the stuff, all i really need is fermenter and keg to hold pressure...

Its started with joes mix just added pears :) One orange, Three pears, Clovers and fives spice. And honey (340g) At that point i boiled it, then i tried it and it taste like lem sip cough stuff, so i added one litre of orange juice. then topped up to the gallon with water. :)

Just made mead. As couldnt tell what the hydrometer was saying. Wel after a couple of chaps helped me sort this. I've worked out my reading is only 1042. whats really low for a mead/wine. so should i put more honey in? Its already has yeast in it. Yet, its not start fermenting. Thanks.

Ohh thank you yooper :) thats good news! haha! Hope this will taste good :)

LOLS. never less. With alcohol as I've added yeast :P ...Im thinking if this dont fall in to a categorise this could be very bad :(

Hmm i've not got one of them not started to ferment yet. So I'll try with Siphon one a tiny bit right now. Thank you all for your replys! :)

Just put some random fruits together :) Strawberries (box of .. 300g?) of market so unsure of weight. Two banana's 3 apples. 700ish grams of sugars. basically i just added all the things i liked :) To see what it would come out like. Is it actually classed as a wine as all recipes...

Im estimating around 1080 as i've added 600ish grams of sugar lols. Plus the fruit to one gallon. Ive already added the yeast so it was more of a question of what should i of done. :P Hehe
