This was my fav too along with bee mead which perhaps was same business, every time I try another cider nothing compares. It wasn’t particularly strong flavours. Can’t buy it anymore sadly, Dan Murphy and bws deleted the line, not sure if supplier issue, hasn’t been restocked since 2020.

I did take in a couple of the bad beers and the 3rd year viticulturalists tasted them during a class when I wasn't around, so I wasn't able to warn them the beers weren't any good for drinking as my verbal instructions were misunderstood. So I found myself explaining to those students why my...

Lol, that was the best. I think a drooled more than 10 times when Hugh was mixing the food up. Can't wait till next week. Even without tasting the home brew, I would think a little less spruce and maybe something to take away what I suppose would be an alkalinity from the carrots whilst...

River cottage home brew with carrot peels

Last week there was an almighty bang, went to kitchen and noticed liquid dripping from upper kitchen cupboard (it was a warm day outside even had the aircon on), I have a flat roof so maybe this contributed as this cupboard door is solid. I was so scared as I had previously read this post and I...

how did you arrive at 60%? I want to add that calculation into my excel brewing spreadsheet.

Ok DazDog. I will try your solution next time as no dextrose unless someone with dextrose lives near sandra street melton.... ummm...alright. I'm not under-carbing with just 1 in a 450ml bottle though, am I?? I had thought it would be nice to have some grolsch in some grolsch bottles, even...

Yeah, so how many carb drops? 1 and half a teaspoon of white sugar?

That one I've been cleaning numerous times with all sorts of stuff trying to get rid of the stain around the bottom. Well I bought some keg and line cleaner recently and had just rinsed out the windex that didn't seem to make one once of difference to the stain. I'd boiled the kettle and...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have only 1 or 2 bottles left from this brew after last night...I might need to stash them in a hard to reach place so I let them mature awhile, to benefit from the matured flavours.

Not sure what you mean by oxygenation, it has one of those airlocks that seperate i.e. external with internal sleeve that consists of the lid. Yeast was just the standard coopers sachel that comes withthe brew tin, more details below: Brew no.: 3rd Coopers lager Yeast code: 22808 Temp...
