2 posts to day. 1st is Vimto wine and bambeer #2

Right, just keeping you informed as i have done a few things since last time i posted. cuz i have been lazy and not posted

1stly i attempted vimto wine. using instructions from the homebrew forum.

VIMTO WINE

750 grams sugar
1 litre bottle vimto
mix sugar with vimto and boil gently for 15 mins in a pan to allow any preservatives to boil off and then skimmed scum off.
allow to cool to room temp
add to DJ, add cold water to shoulder only
Then add
1 teaspoon of youngs yeast
1 teaspoon of youngs nutrient

Nothing happened. just could not get it to start fermenting. :(

2ndly i started Bambeer #2. using a caxton cask ale homebrew kit. 
finished fermenting and is now ageing in bottles.


another post will happen soon


BaMbEr OuT!

Hewiian headbanger #2

started this about a week ago. a day later had mum shouting saying "homebrew has gone moldy" nope i have just never used a clear demi-john before.



the cider seems to have brewed even though i thought i didn't have enough yeast!



will change djs within this week i hope.



by the way what do people think of the logo for the brewery???



BaMbEr OuT!

Bottling and sugering pineapple and apple cider

Finaly found change to bottle and suger the pinapple and apple cider today due to the fact of not walking because of my gammy ankle. has a sneaky swig of the cider and tis tasting good. when it wasnt suggered it tasted very sour but its alright now. just needs a name! 

In a charity shop yesterday i spotted to clear Demi-johns so i bought them. bringing the total up to 5.

Gran has also offered to pay for the apple juice for my turbo cider in return for some. so i am on my way now. with 5 DJs. hopefully full on cider soon.

will keep you posted

BaMbEr OuT!!!!

sneeky swigs and tasty experements.

just had a sneeky swig of the pineapple and apple cider. it was very nice. you can rili taste the pineapple. will bottle it soon as i have just transfered it to some more holding bottles thats how i got the swig (from the siphoning tube) 


names for it anyone?

Pineapple and apple cider/wine

Experamenting time. 


4 cartons apple
1 pineapple



i wounder how it will taste. its an ace colour. very golden yellow. much darker that the normally turbo (hot goblin). this one is unsuggered and only took 6 days to finish fermenting. i have kept it an extra few days to age then i will bottle it into glass bottles.


I have put it in some plastic bottles to let it age a little. small wholes in lids so there isnt much pressure. 


the smell is very nice though. much nicer than the normal turbo (hot goblin)


will keep you posted on how it tastes


BaMbEr OuT!!!!

Next hot goblin

My 2nd hot goblin cider (turbo) is now complete.) it tastes very nice but i havent suggered it. i think it needs it

because it is quite dry atm. not as dry as the one i used Champaign yeast in (i used notingham ale yeast this time) but it still was a tad dry for my liking. but some people enjoy a dryer cider. 

Bamber Out!!!

New Apple juice.

Plastic bottled apple juice from morrisons. i wunder how strong it will be without sugar. will post results later. stukk git a cupple of bottles of cherry tree left. and the DJ with hot goblin in is nearly done. its all gooood
