Apple Wine and Fig Sherry

Posted by on No comments

So I completed the Apple Wine and bottled it up into a Demi John, but a little of it wouldn’t fit in and had to leave it in Fermentation bucket that I have and bottled it straight up into Wine Bottles. I think though that this has now turned up Vinegar, but nothing wrong with a bit of vinegar can cook with it after all.

The fig sherry was started on the 2nd of October and sat in the fermentation bucket for 3 days after this it was split into two demijohn’s with air vales on the 8th of October, this should be ready to bottle in 21 days. After that it will stay in the bottles until Christmas time when it should hopefully be ready to drink.

New Brewing Equipment

Posted by on No comments

On Saturday 24th September I bought some new equipment for brewing. I bought two Demi John’s and Air Valves which are going to be very useful for brewing as I can use these Demi John’s and Air Valves will allow me to leave my beers, wines and other forms of alcohol to brew unattended, previously I had to keep an eye on them as I had to brew in 2 litre bottles without air valves.

I used my two new Demi John’s to siphon some Ginger Beer which I had two brewing in 2 litre bottles the yeast was still active so these bottles were expanding and every day or two days had to let the gas out. By using the Demi John I can leave the Ginger Beer too it.

My new process for brewing Ginger Beer will be to add all the ingredients in the 2 litre bottle then transfer it to a Demi John. By using a 2 litre bottle I can make sure the measurements are correct.

Been using and reading up on http://schema.org/ a lot lately and it has allowed me too organise my web content a lot better and make it easier for search engines to crawl the content.

Schema.org is really simple to use all that is required is to add a few extra attributes to the HTML code, Google, Bing and Yahoo search can all understand the attributes and help understand the content better.

Yesterday (23rd September 2011) I picked the apples from the garden, got a full buckets worth and used 6lbs for the brew.

This is one of the simpler recipes that I am going to attempt brewing.
