GRES'S TIP OF THE DAY: Dont take it to 'bring a bottle' parties - everyone will throw up and think you're a tight bastard! *My Bro did it with Elderflower wine made by my dad* |

GRES'S TIP OF THE DAY: Dont take it to 'bring a bottle' parties - everyone will throw up and think you're a tight bastard! *My Bro did it with Elderflower wine made by my dad* And I was at one once when someone brought a barrel of homebrew so undrinkable it got poured into the washing machine. It promptly exploded and spat out gallons of vile liquid all over their kitchen which even when swept out left a four inch layer of scum all around the skirting boards... As for ruining you cider, I meant no harm; just recommended the Ginsters as a sterilisation agent before you start |

I'm not much of a cider man myself; however, my brother in law made up a crakin' batch of stout last summer. It was simply wonderful!!!   |

My uncle makes superb home-brew, ranging from cider, through wine and into spirits depending on how long he leaves it brewing! He does apple, plum and rhubarb varieties, and I think the weakest he's ever made came out at about 8% and went down like fruit juice. Evil stuff! Then there was what is now referred to, in hushed tones, only as "that batch," which tasted of apples, had a wine-esque kick to it, and rendered any attempts at walking useless after three shots. So you probably don't want any advice off him |

Used to do my own loads but it is full of sugar and not good for the old waistline. Can turn and taste like vinegary piss. Can end up strong or weak so you get pissed quick or not at all. Not bothered for ages but have some bottles about 5-6 years old knocking around the garage. As I am, this week, starting a homebrew. I was wondering if anyone else had any on the go or getting some on soon for zee summer! Post your pics and any tips/shortcuts that are good. Im starting on a 40 pint cider kit happy days |
