quick question guys, under this excel spreadsheet what would you put a Mexican Ceveza Under or Corona Style? American Lager?

thanks guys, perfect, looks pretty easy actually will get sparky mate to double check. Make brewing all year round easy as...

Nice many thanks. What else needs to be bought from Jaycar? Casing or wires?

I assume just buy the 220V one from China, $23 + free postage not bad. I am not very good at wiring stuff up, I have a mate who is an electrician so I am sure it will be easy for him :)

I am looking to buy a device that controls my brews as in summer its too hot and winter is tough for porters and ales so for all year brewing I was looking for a heating/cooling therm control. I found this one that doesnt need to be hardwired by an electrician, looks ok with a 240V plug not...

yeah i have used this, not bad. I would swap out the dex and add LME possibly wit a decent yeast. www.thebrewshop.com.au/corona-style-recipe-pack.html I have just purchased this one to try an alternative, http://www.thebrewshop.com.au/cortes-cerveza.html, comes with a good 15gm lager packet...

nah, thanks for that. I wanted to use this smaller 5 litre demi to produce random experiments. For secondary fermentation do you transfer into bottles or can you add sugar and keep it all in the demi with a secure lid ? I have never used glass and the thought scares me a little due to over...

as well as the choc malt?

Hi Guys n Girls, I have about 15-20 homebrews under my belt and looking for some kickass porters. I have made some before that consist of the Thomas Coopers Bitter along with 1KG of choc malt and fuggles hops and tasted insanely good. Does anyone have anything else they have tried that is...

Nice one, I like it. Anyone got a good place to buy a 5 litre demijohn setup with airlock and rubber stopper?

one other question, I assume you are just using the sugar from the juice to ferment? I gather adding dex it will make it more dry and seriously alchoholic.

Has anyone heard of SN9 yeast, would that be ok for this cider?

going to bottle.

Cool, did you do 14l or 23l? would you recommend back sweetening like you mention with lactose? I have not done this before and used cider kit yeast which is probs why my ciders have been crap.

Hi Guys, I have made a fer ciders in the past and all way to dry, could hardly drink them and heavily alchoholic ;) Anyone have a trusted blackcurrant cider recipe they have made? Maybe it is the yeast I have been using, most people are using the Wyeast in all ciders, I have been only using...
