I need some advice please guys. I've got two demijohns of cider that have been sitting in secondary fermentation since last December. I now want to bottle it but not sure what to do. I presume that adding priming sugar will not carb it as there won't be any yeast left. I don't mind too much...

I don't usually like to add anything that I don't have to especially artificial sweeteners and such, but this time I want to experiment a bit as I have few different batches. I have just bought 70% sorbitol solution but it has no instructions on the bottle and the brew shop didn't seem to know...

Hi, I've got a few demijohns that are nearly finished fermenting. My plan was to rack to fresh demijohns, let them sit somewhere cool for a couple of weeks, rack them again and add carb sugar and bottle. My local brew shop have just told me that I shouldn't rack and let them sit for any period...

I've recently done my first ever brew which is a cider that finished fermenting at 1006. This is the driest cider I have ever drank. It's not unpleasant but mouth puckeringly dry. Out of interest can any body tell me how much sugar or how to work out how much sugar there is per litre when the...

Hi all, I wasn't sure what forum was best suited for this thread so hopefully I've picked the right one. Basically myself and a friend are driving to Belgium soon to visit a few abbeys and breweries and to pick up a load of beer from one of the warehouses. The problem is my friend is a...

Hi there, just wondering if anybody could tell me what the sugar content of Westvleteren 12 or St Bernadus abt is after it has been fully fermented. I was under the impression that all of the sugars are fermented out of these beers but a friend of mine seems to think that they are of a high...
