fruit

Hi all, Planning on making a blackberry/raspberry porter (haven't decided which yet), by adding 1.5kg of pureed berries to the 23L batch in the fementer. Does anyone have any experience, or tips for adding berries during fermentation? How much fementable sugar can I expect from the berries? Cheers

Hi there fellow brewers. I’ve got a batch of hard lemonade that’s almost ready for bottling/secondary fermentation. This is my 3rd ever brew (1st Coopers Heritage Lager, 2nd Coopers ginger beer + fresh ginger and other goodies). My homemade recipe including pretty much whatever was at hand...

hi, I have a 20L of apple juice which had 10g of safcider yeast added. it bubbled and fermented out to around .999 in a weekish... I transferred this to another fermenter and there it has sat for 6 days. (was going to bottle on the weekend) my wife loved the cider & blood orange brew I did in...

Hey there guys, I've got a few beers under my belt now and the missus has expressed interest in a cider and for her continued tolerance of my hobby I think it best to make one for her! I have picked up 20 liters of Aldi apple juice but I want it to come out as a sweeter cider with a fruit...

Hey Sup. After many years of putting it off I really want to give home brew a try. I've always been interested in home brewing fruit wines, meads and to a lesser extent ciders ever since one of my first girl friends introduced me to her parents (her father made excellent fruit wines that would...

I have 21L of woolworths brand apple-juice currently doing some nice bubbling away So I've been doing some googling and some aussiehomebrewering and have come to the understanding that letting cider sit in a PLASTIC secondary fermenter for longer than ~6months is not ideal. Can anyone comment...

I've been having a go at making wine for 5 years now and whilst is getting along just fine, it's time to get together with like minded people and start to perfect the art. A relatively cheap process but hugely rewarding when you produce that aromatic and flavoursome wine that energises you to...

Hello and greetings from Guildford, England. I have made a post to the Welcome Forum. However, two of your good countrymen have suggested that non-beer-brewing is where i should be, so here goes again. Please have a look at our short YouTube video, Cider making made simple at home. . Yes...

Hey gang, Sorry for creating another cider post, I see there are a million here already, but I figure one more can't hurt. I'm still very new to this whole brewing gig, so I'm a tad confused and don't want to stuff this up. I want to make the batch at around 5% to 8% alcohol content. I was...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it seemed the most fitting, feel free to move it mods. I've recently gotten started in winemaking and brewing in general. I've been keeping fairly good records as I want to be able to repeat and great successes and obviously avoid repeating failures. I've...

Hi All, Looking to buy pressed apple juice in South East Queensland. I'm in Brisbane but happy to travel to say stanthorpe to buy it. Does anyone know of any suppliers in SEQ for bulk apple juice?

I've gone into my latest batch of Cider a bit casually. I am planning on halting the fermentation to get a sweet cider (by kegging and fridging). I didn't take an SG - I figured I could calculate it. But now I see there's 11 grams of sugar per 100 ml....which would be 1.110 SG unless I'm...
