thanks all, may have to try and be a bit patient with the apples...Keen as to get goin Cheers, Hazz

Hey all, keen for a go at a cider and would love some feed back. I've got access to an apple tree which has green apples, and I've been told they don't have as much sugar as the red ones so I may need to add some sweet stuff. Green apple juice about 20lWine or champagne yeast?100 or 200g LDME...

Thanks again guys, will do that next time round Hazz

Thanks guys, og was 1050 and fg was 1010 will the carapils affect the flavour at all, or is it just purely head retention/mouthfeel etc? Also as this was a wheat beer recipe would other grains be ok, ie. crystal? Hazz

Hey all, just a query about mouth feel and body. I put down this... 1.5kg coopers liquid wheat 1kg light malt 25g saaz hops @ 60min dry weizen yeast 18 litres 20 degrees After only two weeks in the bottle it tastes pretty bloody good, apart from the mouth feel which is a bit watery/light...

What size are the PET bottles you guys use? I've only ever used normal glass stubbies with carbo drops. Can you make a straight swap drops for cubes? Hazz

You *******....my time will come soon

You guys are makin me thirsty, still got a good few weeks before i can even think of tasting one!

All is good guys, action at last, bit slow but we're off and running. Didn't do a starter so that may explain the slow start. Thanks again guys, Hazz

Thanks flash, might need a chill pill, or two. Having said that almost 24 hours on and there is no action in my fermenter. I use the glad wrap method and there is no krausen or froth or bubbles or anything at all. Is it worth giving it a stir up or something? I pitched wb-06 at about 22 degrees...

Thx for the advice peoples, had a crack at the brew tonight and had a few issues. Long story but my thermometer was out of action and i thought my wort was cool enough to tip into my fermenter but it was still high twenties according to the sticker on the fermenter. I covered it with glad wrap...

Thanks guys, will check out said software. Hazz

sorry guys, meant 1.5kg coopers wheat malt, d'oh! hazz

Hey all, looking at doing my first wheat beer for a bit of a change... 1.5kg coopers LME 1kg DME 25g Saaz @ 60min Dry Weizen Yeast 20 litres Not sure about boil, maybe 6 litres, pretty new to this still. Will I have enough fermentables? Any help or suggestions would be great. Cheers, Hazz

Thanks heaps all, brilliant as usual Hazz
