Usually pubs chuck them in a blue bucket. Would need chainmail gloves to dive through that. Might ask the pub down the bottom of the hill next time I'm in.

I'm already grabbing all the glass bottles I can from mates, family, and work colleagues. Also drinking my way through a few as well, my poor liver is suffering for my needs. There isn't a local home brew place here for me to peruse, the nearest being Edinburgh which is an 8 hour round trip...

1 and a bit weeks in and the living room is starting to smell faintly yeasty despite the fermentation happening in the airing cupboard. I take that as a good sign. Now I need to start sourcing bottles and I've run into the problem of not getting enough glass bottles. I'm going to have to...

Fair enough. I'll continue to ignore those steps and bottle with my siphon. Thanks.

My turn for the newbie question :D. I've seen a lot of mentions of secondary fermentation and bottle buckets. Can someone explain these please? Probably been asked before but I'm on the app, and the bus heading home.

Ignore the foamy head, it's still settling.

Ooft I've just measured the OG and it's 1.080. Should be a fairly high abv. I shall prepare my liver while it ferments.

I wasn't planning it since the original recipe didn't mention it and I've just scaled it up a little and added raspberries to the mix. I have artificial sweeteners if needed though, just in case. Oh I was also going to pre roast the lemons to get more juice from them, draw out the natural...

I've managed to find 100% stuff in Aldi. I've now got 12 cartons of it waiting patiently for this lot to be done fermenting. :D

Wasn't quite sure where to stick this since it's not really a cider, beer, wine, or mead. I'm planning to make some hard pink lemonade based on a recipe I found online in a different forum from 8 years ago. Wondering if anyone had any experience/tips on making hard lemonades. I mean, it's...

Ok I'm home now and I've had time to do a reverse image search. Unfortunately there are not really any similar images for it to work. The best I could get was Granny Smiths, which is possibly rubbish from your description of flavour as I've never associated sweetness with Granny Smiths apples.

Google reverse image search and there are sites that will search the web with your image for you.

Have you done a reverse image search on Google?

Well I'm not too worried about it being too cold for the yeast right now, we had a record temp today at 30C. For Inverness, that's unheard off. Scottish water even had to put out drought advisories, which I've never heard of in Scotland. Thankfully raining now but my flat is built to Scottish...

Will do.

Soon find out in two or three weeks.

I'll be making an 80/- soon. Get that racked up for the winter months and I'll be good :D Gotta get all my other planned brews done first. Need so many glass bottles first.

Ok here goes, this is the only writing on the package. *Edit* The company got back in touch. Very prompt, which was nice. The answer is: The strain of yeast is saccharomyces cerevisiae, the alcohol tolerance is 18%

I can, but it'll be a while before I do. Currently doing the dishes/cleaning up after dinner.

I've used Youngs multi purpose brewers yeast. It doesn't say what type but I've emailed the company to ask.
