Beer

I’d be more worried about getting the cuts right...

 

The volatiles of the brew distil off at different rates and times, so you split the distillate into various “cuts”... the first off are likely to be the likes of ethanol and risky to drink, the end cuts are the more oily liquors and again not wanted (though they will go nicely into the next brew) what you drink is a blend of the “middle cuts”

 

My beer making never recovered from the foaming gloop that leaked under the door during my oh so brief university career. I think there may have been a link

More recently my Cassis has been well received.

 

Only used kits and 2l plastic bottles after having issues with glass 745ml bottles blowing with ginger beer.
Quite enjoyed the process and the 6% product was popular for fishing trips
Best wishes for your outcomes and taste tests

 

Quiet day today.... so I’ve just put 15 litres of parsnip and ginger wine on to brew and racked 5 litres of tart cherry wine off the fruits...

 

I had a go a brewing me own beer back in the day. Had a modicum of success, but found it much easier to get it from the off licence

 

Tier 4 and this was all I could find to share the bar

 

Mother in law and her sister? (Like the Kat btw)

Just packing the sleeping bag as we speak. See you soon.

And if it wasn't for covid we could have walked to the CAMRA national pub of the year which is only a 60 minute stroll across the ridgeway (more like 3 hours on the way back Lol).
The pub is The Bell at Aldworth.

 

Richard Goss.
Only kidding mate. I don't drink so it would have to be tea or cola.
Joe

 

I have you covered as I have Diet Coke on tap as well

 

Richard Goss
Well that's it now I have to pack the sleeping bag again.
Joe.

 

Ah but I have run out until the new year when I can order some more post mix syrup. But i do have loads of cans LoL

Joking apart once all this is over we will have to arrange a few meetups.

 

Richard Goss
It's a done deal. Lets bring the good times back. Boy do we all need it after this year.
Joe.

 

I brew beer but only the cheats way out of a can. Only cost 60 quid to start and after the first batch its about 30p a pint.
You ve got a much more professional set up. I'm all plastic buckets and old Magners bottles.
The results are nicer than the bought stuff all the same.

 

Tried home brewing when I was a kid, it was a Geordie beer home brew kit, Gawd it was vile , never ever brewed again.
