What's your tipple ?

stinka · 01-02-2013, 22:30

I'm a bitter/real ale man, but also love cider

Used to drink only lager in my youth but when I was about 28 I had joint problems and after much investigation, which was inconclusive a consultant advised me to change from larger to bitter, sorted my joints and I got the taste for it after a couple of months

7 years later and I love the stuff

Like dark milds tbh as a regular drink, but I do like a nice strong hoppy bitter too

Recently really got into cider. Some of the westons stuff is nice but I prefer the more home made stuff. Although hennys is worth a serious look if you like proper cider ( not that chemical shite like bulmers/kopprrberg/reckorderlig etc)

How about u ?

Really would love to try home brew, but its just another bloody hobby/thing that I'd have to add to my list

Would love to press my own cider ...

its really easy or really hard, depending on how accurate you want to be, some experiments go sooo wrong but some good ones! free apples and just add a flavour and wait......

You are in your prime ffs, stop being gay

My dad introduced me to larger age 14, used to get me a 6 pack of 'beur d,Alsace' on a Saturday night that I used to drink with him whilst he had his wine and prepared tea

I can distinctly remember getting the taste for it and how I loved having a few bevvys with my old man

Nowadays tho I'd rather have a corona ice cold with a lime in the top, or a nice crisp pint of peroni ... CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER

(My knees make me pay tho, next two days

)

Can u link me some cheap starter kit please mate ?

I can scrump some apples

makeitfit · 01-02-2013, 23:01

ah ha yes to cider

we've got a few trees out the back and squash them into cider. Also got plum trees and the wife likes a bit plum wine.
Then we've got shed loads of sloes, they're a pain in the arse to pick but pay off is when they've been floating around in gin for a few months, just ready for crimbo

Mostly though on friday I'll be testing budwieser

Closely followed by copious amounts of red wine, shiraz or merlot usually

puddle hoppers inc. · 01-02-2013, 23:04

will do, apples and pears was my best last year. i will pop some on tomoz matey.
in a totally unscientific experiment we reckon we are getting around 12%, but avoid the "turbo yeasts", quick yield yeasts take it to 24% in 7 days, did my liver in! all good now tho!
