OK - Hay guys can we go back throu this thread and check to see who has made it back to the BYC coop and who has not??????? - Older hens and roos may have trouble getting their heads round the new site and we all need to be minful off the missing. Can we all make a special effort to go through...

Our Peach wine is really strong ! He He!!!!!!!! The beer needs longer though! Hope it will be ok for new year!!!! Oesdog

Quote: yeah, that's why it's called "Tanglefoot" in the south west of England. You can go to many a pub there, and the barkeep has these big ceramic jugs on the top shelves, provided by the local farmers, and those drinks sure make you sit a while! I'll dig out the recipe. It's a bit...

Quote: So, was the blackberry the one that was too tart - did you sugar/ Is that what fixed it? I'm glad it turned out well. Let us know how you fixed in just in case we need to do it too. Got to get me some parsnips and make some more "Tanglefoot" - now that'll make one giddy Tanglefoot ...

Just finished Bottling - Peach wine and strawberry wine. Had a sneek taste lovely! Also have bottled 60 beer!!!! Should be great for christmas. Have no idea of the alcohol content ? Not very into the science just the outcome of drinking a bottle or two will give me a better idea!!! Oesdog

Quote: Hmmm, I've had that problem too, and I THINK it is the high level of acidity in not quite ripe berries. Have you tried adding some glycerine? That sometimes makes the mouthfeel a bit softer. You might have to blend it with a "softer" wine if you can't get some syrup and restart it...

Bottling today!!!!!!!!! Not sure why we didn;t do it earlier but we didn;t have time so hopefully it will taste even better? Oesdog - 2 Demi-johns of wine and 1 beer keg my arms will ache tonight!!!!!!

Quote: I've never made beer - I heard it's harder than wine, got to pay close attention to the temps or it goes wrong. Is that true? I'm a newby at beer making, we've made exactly one batch, but it was summer and the house we were in doesn't have airconditioning - so temp control was just not...

I am not entirely sure about temp in Beer making, we were not that careful? - We just did it from a packet! Last time and to be honest with you we thought it was horrible because we opened one of the bottles and it was flat and nasty! We put more suger in the bottom of each bottle ( re bottled...

My beer is a monster animal !!!!!!!!!!! Fermenting like mad!!!!! Oesdog -

moonshine is - Poitín over here!!!!! Still illegal in the North but not in the south! Oesdog

I am so getting lost in all this science stuff! All I know is the two Demi-johns now have clearing stuff in and are standing on the floor in the Dinning room to settle - then we bottle!!!!!!!! Yuppie!!!! I just hope they are good !!!!! The Beer is doing well too - its a monster rammed back in...

Thanks but sadly it is the only time we will make it - the rest went round the dinning room floor!! I was gutted! Oesdog

Oh - we had exploding elderflower. It was sooooo scary but then really funny for a bit as we had to clean up the entire Dinning room after two bottles exploded and litterally shot the ceiling and covered the table and walls and floor. The top came off and shot out. Even though they were screw...

Yeah - I posted that DH didn;t use the same yeast as for the bread he bakes - I stand corrected - he says yes you can and he does. He only used stuff in a different packet he got from the wine makers store - Sorry!!!!! We only started brewing wine and beer this summer so I don;t know what I am...

I don't think you can - DH doesn't! He bakes and makes wine and never uses the same yeast!!!!!! Oesdog

I know when making Rhubarb wine it is good to freeze it first because it helps to break the fibres down? Though I have mine in the freezer right now we have not started to make the wine as yet! Oesdog
