i dont have a keg! i want to make something like the cascade apple isle stuff

hey guys, was just wondering if anyone had any reciepes and techniques they would like to share with me cheers

well i did it and it doesnt taste to bad at all, and it gets you pretty hammered as well!! it took ages in the fermenter though and I mainly used fresh mixed berries to get the initial flavour with a small amount of ribena, and then just added a heap of ribena when I bottled it. It has a slight...

i served them pretty cold, they were all carbonated about the same, maybe i just need to leave it a few more weeks. I love my booze too much, I should just learn to be more patient!!

i used 2 carb drops to a longneck as per directions, the bottles were the PET with new lids and they were stored at about 20 degrees for a week then just at room temperature for another 3. It was slightly carbonated but bugger all compared to my normal beer

Ive made a ginger beer and an apple cider from brigalows kit mexes, and ive used the carb drops in both of them and they havent carbonated very well at all. so my question is am i better to use sugar for non beers?

I just thought that all the sediment might not mix through all the bottles

cool, so im assuming i dont stir it before bottling either then? sorry for the stupid questions i just dont want to stuff up my first ever brew! thanks for your help guys :beerbang:

Hey guys i know this is probably a stupid question, im about to bottle my first brew of ginger beer and ive never done it before. Do I stir the brew up before i do the hydrometre test to get a more accurate reading?
