Duff yeast in TC - what now?

[DREADSKIN]

Thanks for the complements ladz! the experimentation hasn't ended here yet tho. up next apple juice, bramleys and maybe maple syrip?

as for the golden syrip, i would stick to honey for that lovely aroma and after taste it imparts to the bru.


let us know how it tastes!

Dreadskin, you are a bloody genius. After a full six days in the bottle (I think that's quite restrained, to be honest), I cracked one open. Well, two. And it's bloody lovely. Dry but nicely fruity. Probably about 6.5% alcohol if my maths is right. Drinks easily but takes the legs from under you. Perfect. I just hope I can keep some long enough to see it mature properly.

Only thing is it's still completely flat at the mo. It's a bit on the chilly side in the cupboard under the stairs, so I might shift it somewhere a couple of degrees warmer for a few days to see if it starts to develop any fizz. I'll maybe give the bottles a little shake at the same time to raise some of the yeast sediment off the bottom.

STICK YOUR BOTTLES BESIDE (i some times put the along the top) a radiator for 5 (or more) days. it may be cheating but it works for me. then leave for as long as you can keep yourself away from it.
enjoy!

I couldn't agree more. I can feel a compilation coming on... ATV, Ruts, Damned, Stranglers, Banshees, Clash, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Wire... that ought to do it.

Green Day and Elvis Costello are my suggestions.

I would wait 3 weeks for carbonation. One month is better.
