cheers guys.

Hi all I put a brew on a week and a half ago I still need to clean the bottles so I have left it to sit I'm aware that some brews require longer periods in the fermenter. Now the fermenter has started bubbling again the gravity is the same as a week ago so it's like it hit FG then sat there for...

I would leave it.

I will try a cider from some decent apple juice (I worked in a orange juice plant once I know what go's on) and see how that go's. I want the fizz and bite that mercury dry has that no other cider has except maybe mercury draught which is sweeter than mercury dry, but I will try a simple cider first

Hi all I was thinking about doing a cider, as the only cider that get's drunk by my mates is mercury dry (why would any one want anything else, like sweet lolly ciders?) I also drink it myself and quite like it especially in a glass with ice. I want to have a go at doing a mercury clone but...

Yea I just returned from an hour on youtube watching stainless mig welding lol.

If only mig's were good at stainless.

This is why I use little creatures pint bottles they have a nice round top, a mate I help uses a mix of twistys and old vb long necks the twist tops just don't seem right when I'm capping them for him.

What is your definition of yonks? I was trying to find some info on my friends work (I will have to ask him) and found some info on x-ray mutilation but the common method seems to be inbreeding or more correctly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis . As far as the DNA manipulation go's I...

I have little knowledge on modern genetic manipulation techniques, but in saying that I have looked into older styles and from my knowledge they are different. As far as I was aware modern techniques came about after the equipment was developed to brake DNA down and reinsert it into other...

What came first electricity or the conductive passage?

I read the packet of the grains and it said you could boil the grains and add them without steeping. My aim was just to try something. I might try hops next brew.

I boiled the grains then strained the liquid then boiled the liquid that came out of the grain.

No hops I have not brewed for too long and this is the first time I tried partial all be it a very simple form, I might try hops later but I don't really know how they will taste so I will get some base tastes without first.

I just want to say something, it is immensely better waking up after two or three days on the piss with a blander taste in you mouth like a CUB beer, the craft beers are heavy with flavour that is not desirable after MASSIVE drinking sessions. In saying that where I'm from VB and Carlton Draught...

Hi all. I just put a brew on using a coopers draught can of LME two 1kg bags of coppertun dark DME and I boiled 500g of coppertun cracked wheat grains and added that. From my very uneducated guess I think I will get somewhere close to 7% alcohol volume is this correct? Also I wanted to use...

So if dead yeast is good for brewing, would that mean if I used water and sugar to culture lots of yeast and boiled them I could add that to the brew to feed the good yeast?

Thanks, do you have to bring it to a boil or do you just throw it in when it's boiling and kill them?

Thanks I will try it.

I will be buying a packet of yeast for the tin that I stole the yeast from, any recommendations? I will be buying over the net.
