In the Brew Room this Week

     This week has seen us bottling the first of our Sweet Meads, using 500gms more honey than the Medium Mead this Sweet  Mead is living up to its name with a finishing gravity of 1.040 there's plenty of body and sweetness, and  with 14.5% alcohol quite a kicker.
     The Blueberry Melomel has been racked off the berries and is tasting pretty good with a great purple colour, another month and it will be time to bottle.
     The two Stouts are now conditioning in the fridge for a couple of weeks prior to bottling.

We are now on the hunt for fresh apple juice and are waiting to hear back from a couple of orchards, we are looking to make a cider with no sulphides or sugar just juice and yeast. We will keep you posted.

Also we have just put down a ginger beer kit and it is bubbling away nicely. We made a starter yeast for this and were amazed to see it go so hard after just 4 hours.
