Why do you think we settled in Portugal?

Drawing off the yeast during the crash cooling period. Will rack the beer at the weekend so that'll be 2 weeks from brewday and fermentation.

Have you, by any chance, already sampled the local Brandies ?

I must admit that I thought it was a bit strange for Paul to suggest that the almighty had a Cocaine habit!

I might have.
It's like milk of amnesia.
I can't remember.

If I lived in Portugal I would be regularly drinking Port. I really sleep soundly after a glass.... or two.

 

[Pauljenny]

Good idea.
I put it in Management's breakfast and dinner

I found an interesting article on youtube about brewing. Carton of fruit juice half a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of yeast ,the bloke had 4 cartons going and after 14 days he was testing them ,a double shot of each ,by the end he was slurring his words. So i went to asda bought pure orange juice, apple juice and cranberry juice and yeast. Total cost £7. I`ll let you know.

That reminds me of a small brewery I was doing work for, he was fair chuffed with his cider prompting me to try some. I asked where he sourced his apples , his response was locally, this was in July. Found out later he purchased the gallon bottles of apple juice from aldi/lidle.

One word of caution if you do start making cider make sure the vessels are 316 stainless, I built a brewery for a crowd who purchased old vessels from a company that brewed cider and the acid from the apples had eroded the 304 stainless in places.

Just bottled 40pints of ruby porter and made 30pints alcoholic ginger beer.

It saves on transfer flex hose, just pull on the lever and off it goes. Easier to clean as well. I do a cip (clean in place) every brew
