Yep sounds same as me. Its verry nice after a month of aging. If you ever work out how to keep the caramel taste please share haha

Ive always done uk. Though word of warning. As for the abv, mines never come out below 13%

When i bottled it after primary and secondary i would mix the honey in in another fermetation bucket until dissolved ( i did 25l L batches so added 5 jars of aldi clear honey). Then i would bottle and only pasteurise after a few days. I wouldnt leave a few weeks unless only a small amount of...

Are you kegging or bottling?

Hi all Had some used cornys delivered today and all in all they arent in bad condition. However the cornys were used for soft drinks so reek of the stuff. I have new seals etc to go on after cleaning however the posts on 2 of them are extremely shallow or in one case, plated. So my usual spanner...

I have a john guest fitting on the regulator to the hose, then gas line go a screw thread john guest fitting on the quick disconnect. I have tried dunking the system and found 1 leak but will try again. When i say plastic kegs i am referring to pressure barrels, e.g. king kegs. I am obviously...

Hi, I recently started using Corny kegs as I went from plastic kegs, to bottling and now have acquired a home bar set up so kegs are now needed. The main issue I am facing is I have a very slow leak somewhere in my system. As far as I can tell it is between the regulator and the quick...

I've aged ciders for various lengths of time, ive got a 2 year old keg sat in the garage that is still good to this day. Most of them tend to last 6 months tops, the standard recipe I tend to use comes out between 10-13% so one bottle leaves you really knocks you for six

As for it not mattering whether you get food grade or not i do get that CO2 is CO2 but i would rather not run the risk of making someone ill if a new tank is contaminated.

Ive tried all the various places, fire extinguisher suppliers etc. Only 1 place sells co2 and its welding co2 not food grade... Going to go get a big cylinder on monday. A trek every year or so wont kill me

From the first place that is £90 to buy the tank that is the case. Its dated for 5 years and they simply swap it to a new one when you bring it back. Unless i find anywhere nearer I think that may be the best option. Cheers!

Hi, Im in the process of doing my first corny setup, (like most people ive got fed up of leaky king kegs, and bottling large amounts. Ive found a corny supplier, and other suppliers for the various bits (including norm). However finding a CO2 supplier near me has been a nightmare. The only...

Correct me if i am wrong but im sure cold temps only cause the yeast to go dormant which is fine if your cider lives in a fridge until its drunk but if not i think the addition of the honey after fermentation would cause secondary fermentation if the cider gets warm enough.

Dam. Cheers anyway Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This is more experimentation than anything else. Just trying different recipes out right now to see what they're like. If it's trashed it's only a couple of quid. Going to wait a few days and see what happens Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Today I decided to experiment with a vimto and apple juice recipe online. However about half an hour later there was no activity from the yeast whatsoever (In every single one of my previous brews its obvious the yeast are active after about 30 mins). However even after a few hours today...

They haven't even been ageing for a month and it's very popular. However it's turned out as a very strong apple cider with it's abv at 10.5%! Not the result I was hoping for as it's very dry and I love my sweet cider but its still not half bad Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've just had the same. Bottles 2 sets of this 3 days ago, both done slightly differently and one wry table sugar and one brewing sugar. Both taste and smell like beer or lager. No sweetness at all. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
