    is this right? cider

    Time for a new missus. :P Back sweetening in the glass is the easiest method with fresh juice, Cordial, sugar, anything that takes your fancy.. even lemon cello or some other fruit liqueur is great and gives it a bit more punch. If you keg you have a few more option to back sweeten as well...

    is this right? cider

    Beats my current brew 20L aldi juice with a re pitch of 1335 brit ale from a nukie brown. Damn thing wont drop fast enough and it keeps forming a krausen after 6 days and gentle swirling to break it up. taste is really good and its sitting around 4.5%. At least SWMBO is happy so in for a crash...

    Has anyone got Goldings in Melbourne forming burrs yet? First year so I'm not expecting much and I am aware they can be late to the party but I'm starting to get concerned :)

    Is all grain brewed beer 99% sugar free?

    Sugar is a broad term. (Still a tonne of carbs in beer) I suspect that they are honing in on sucrose though for the advertising promotion though.. Which most of it should of been converted/inverted before and after they ferment it I assume.. Happy to be made an arse of though

    Logistics of bigger batches?

    I double batch BIAB and regularly do a double double which takes about 14 hours all up. This is with a 2400w element. This gives me 4 kegs Also I use the 23L cubes and can fit 4 in the fridge at once

    Wyeast Sweet Mead V4184 - residual sweetness?

    With a starting gravity around 1.050 it will still ferment dry with a little perceived sweetness maybe. Its still able to achieve around 12% alc so you will need to either get your sugars up to stall the yeast out (In my mind 12%+ for a cider is too strong) or use the usual suspects for killing...

    Secondary Fermentation in homebrew kits

    Anything over 20 degrees is where you start to get into fast ferment territory and will increase unpleasant undesirable flavours that would almost certainly attribute to all your concerns posted above. Try and keep your temperatures in the 16-19 degree range for most of your ales (some wheats...

    4 pines stout yeast

    To take from your own Signature. "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work" Best of having tried something and failed then to not try at all :P

    First BIAB and No Chill complete. Didn't all go to plan

    Call it an AIPA and a win at the same time. All things considering i think you did very well and learnt a heap of the small issues along the way. I would possibly look at changing your grain supplier if they wont supply a recipe in one bag or split bags into smaller amounts.. Most others will...
