For all you experts there was a full head on that ;) I was just slow getting the camera ready. Its second fermentation was only 13 days (so far) so it's got a bit of clearing to do.


For a first attempt I'm well chuffed!

Try doubling the sugar for an even more potent brew!!

6%? Incredibly cheap?

I'd rather not use any sugar and have something that tastes nice!


Was it kit brewed or what? Which kit etc.

It was a youngs lager kit. Tastes good (but it would to me for a first attempt ;)).

Red wine is next on the menu. Then some dark ale :thumbsup:

Any recommended kits?

(I've had a litre and already feel a bit squiffy. Easy on the sugar next time I think:smt048)

This reminds me of when we tried to drink a whole keg of homebrew bitter at university between 3 of us, and then tried making a chocolate cake.


I think it was nice.

Pretty good for a first attempt, never tried making larger myself but cider is so easy, especially scrumpy cause you dont even have to filter it. Been doing it with a couple of mates for a few years now and its got pretty massive on the old scale of things. Ours is 100% natural, 100% organic and has no added anything, not even sugar or yeasts and weighs in between 8.5% and 9.4% depending on when you open it and how long you leave the apples to rot before you press them and yes i do have an alcohol meter at work which means i know those are correct.

Oh and for industrial quantaties like we make you need industrial sized containers
