Tried a bottle of my Caxton Lager and it's well carbonated but it has a slightly sour taste and smell, I think it may have been fermented too hot. I've stuck it away in a cupboard, hopefully it'll improve with age. It's mostly bottled in glass now, I bought a bottle capper so I can recycle used beer bottles
I've got an empty demijohn so I thought I'd try a new recipe off the homebrew forum...
3.5L apple juice
1L boiled Vimto
1 sachet wine yeast
1/2 tsp tomato puree (yeast nutrient)
1 stp pectolase
juice of a lemon
half a cup of super-strong tea
Looks and smells like alcopop but it's fermenting away, apparently it tastes like Kopparberg mixed fruits...
