    Raspberry cheesecake sour

    So i have a recipe for 10L which I am tweaking a little, just wanting some advice to add a hint of cinnamon flavour to it (and possibly some body). With the cinnamon I was planning to soak a couple of sticks in vodka for a week or so, then pour that vodka into the secondary when I put the brew...

    looking for the basics of wine making

    So I thought there might be a generic "how to" for generic wine recipes on the recipe page.. or stickied on the main forum, but oh well. I want to make a feijoa wine (also known as "pineapple guava" I believe) - I have plenty of those around right now. I 'think' I just need to scoop the pulp...

    secondary and keeping yeast

    So, 2 things. The first is that I keep getting my ciders brewed in about 4-5 days (finished fermentation). However I am unhappy with the amount of particulates I am getting also. So - I have a 20L bucket with a lid, and just put ~18L into it - mostly just cider, some particulate, which I...

    First brew, think i cucked it up already. Help and advice appreciated

    I'm sure i am not the first, and probably won't be the last, but I decided to invest in some brewing equipment this summer to stave off the $40+ bill of buying commercial beer or the $12+ pints at the local hole. Hopefully some generous soul will take pity on me and spare a quick glance at what...
