RE: Homebrew - cully - 21-10-2012 well the medium selfcarbonated cider is a FAIL watch this! i didn't shake the bottle at all and the remaining cider tastes rank as the co2 stirs up the yeast at the bottom RE: Homebrew - cully - 28-11-2012 revive an old thread time well how is everyone doing that had a go at getting pissed on homebrew Ive had a few nights pissed and a few days with alcohol poisoning throwing up till the next day ![]() i think my brews are quite strong Ive liked some and some are wank favourites are Tesco value apple juice (still) Polish raspberry (sparkling) Polish cherry (sparkling) my next brew I'm going to attempt is Alcoholic Cola (sparkling) the base for this is another Polish syrup Ive found ![]() RE: Homebrew - lolsteve - 29-11-2012 Tried the value apple juice (asda) tased like bum, had a bottle with the metal lid action opened it up over day and it blew the mechanism off so some fierce pressure in there. Going to try again soon now the 45p per unit thing, thinking of trying the student wkd again does the sugar make much difference to the tase? Been using the supermarket white sugar and all my brews taste terrible RE: Homebrew - cully - 29-11-2012 think its the yeast that makes it taste terrible filtering and settling is the key to removing that sugar before furmentation only increases the VOL strength i dont think it changes the taste unless you bottle early before the yeast has converted all the sugar to alcohol im trying a different yeast to see if it does effect the taste RE: Homebrew - Willo - 29-11-2012 I've just had the first lot of the lager I brewed tastes very nice took 4 weeks total for 40 pints at around 4.7% on gravity conversion it's cost £31 all in that was Barrel Syphoning tube Brew kit and yeast Bottles Capper and caps Hydrometer All in well chuffed and in doing for 2 reasons 1 saves a sodding fortune 2 I can make it to my own strength and taste Homebrew - THE_Liam - 29-11-2012 I've had to quit for the winter, no central heating so my house is too cold for it to ferment! Got a wardrobe full of stout and lager to see me through, about 90 pint bottles... RE: Homebrew - Willo - 29-11-2012 Get a heat mat or belt or cheap trick a very experienced home brewer gave me a fish tank heater put the heater in your brew and put a hole in the lid for the cable silicone the cable in to seal the hole and use the heater to hold your brew at a nice steady temp Homebrew - THE_Liam - 30-11-2012 I've already done that mate, the bulk fermentation isn't a problem, it's the secondary fermentation in bottles that's the problem ![]() RE: Homebrew - Willo - 30-11-2012 Oh right have you tried asking on any homebrew forums if they have any ideas Homebrew - THE_Liam - 30-11-2012 Yeah, all they say is get central heating ![]() RE: Homebrew - Willo - 30-11-2012 Helpful then lol RE: Homebrew - cully - 02-12-2012 Heat mats and a centraly heated house FTW! they do take a lot longer to ferment now its cooler though Cola has started fermenting the polish raspberry is still going too after 2 months RE: Homebrew - samass - 02-12-2012 well, i da some of Jonny's homebrew this weekend, needless to say, it's potent!!
