Yeah I was sure that you steeped the grains at around 65C, then sparge, then boil. Anyway, me being a total beginner I just followed the recipe method. I'm going to make up a started using a spare coopers kit yeast that I have - should be able to manage the 1020. thanks for your input...

Hi, I made up the following recipe and it's been in primary for 2 weeks. The OG was 1050 and it's been fermenting at between 18 and 24C. The G has been stuck at 1020 for about a week and it's cloudy and orange in color. I pitched it without a starter using Muntons Ale dry yeast. After 24 hours...

Just drank a long neck of Graff - it's only a week in the bottle so it's not carbed too well and I can taste how young it is, BUT I'M ADDICTED!!!! :super:

Cool - I've had quite a few emails from guys saying the same thing. Glad to know I didn't waste my time. I went out to my LHBS yesterday and bought in enough new ingredients for my next 4 recipies - each recipe uses a different brewing method so I'm thinking I'll get the camera out again LOL...

Hi Verbyla - my mouth is watering just thinking about the combination of apple and ginger mmmmm... I use honey in my Somerset Gold recipe and it adds to the character (and ABV) - it's a subtle flavour but it there for sure. I put together a YouTube instructional on brewing Brandon Os Graff -...

I'm going to enter 2 ciders - Is there a standard type of packaging required for a couple of PET bottles? Cheers

Hey Franko - I just noticed you're living in Mount Annan - I'm living up in Harrington Park - what's the home brew scene like in Macarthur?

The readings are correct - however, the values in my post are incorrect. I track my brews in a spreadsheet and I posted the value in the cell below the Somerset Gold - doh! Thanks for pointing that out Franko. Based on the gravity readings you would be correct in saying that the ABV should be...

I just posted this in the recipe DB but it's coming out as an American Ale - I couldn't register it as a cider so I'll just post it here instead. This is my attempt at a Bulmers / Magners dry clone. I think it's pretty close (if not better :icon_cheers: ). What I really like about it is that...

If it's the Brigalow kit then you'll need to leave it for a good 30 days before it 'evens out' otherwise I find I get a malty/sweet initial taste combined with the 'offish' taste of young alcohol. When you leave it to mature for at least 30 days, the apple flavor begins to come through and the...

Edwort's Appelwein seems to get a lot of attention too - I haven't brewed it yet but it's on the list of things to do before I die LOL I brewed a test batch (5L) of variation Graham's Old English cider and it tastes great - far superior to the Brigalow and Black Rock kits which I wasn't that...

Hi everyone, I just put together a 3 part video on how to brew Brandon O's Graff Cider - for those of you who don't know what Graff phenomenon is all about then you can find out on Home Brew Talk. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my vids. Cheers, Martin - It's kind of appropriate that an Irish/Aussie...
