Fantastic, if mine is anything like the one I had last night I will be chuffed. How long did yours take to condition?

With it being my first home brew, I initially could only hold out for 3 weeks and it was drinkable. I left some for 2 months and it improved massively like.
 
Think i may have done something wrong, my blueberry TC had a starting gravity of around 1.070 maybe 1.080, i used to much sugar. but i just put it into a secondary DJ and tested the gravity and it was 1.000, it smell a bit funny as well should i just start again? or is that normal.

iirc it normally drops to about .996 (ish) How much sugar did you use?
 
200g but once I put it in I realised my scales where sicking so not really sure.

Should be ok unless the juice had stupid amounts of sugar in it. Just prime them, stick it in bottles and forget about it for a few months. If its fucked its fucked. No harm in sticking them in the back of the garage marra.

I primed them with 2 teaspoons of sugar and they turned in to bottle bombs, also think they hadn't finished. Took me ages to de gass them so just stuck them in the garage and will leave them maybe the new year.

Only got 275ml bottles so am probably going to use 1 tea spoon at very most.


Ive got some Cranberry and Raspberry juice to make another TC its got "water, Glucose-Fructose syrup, cranberry juice from concentrate(7%), raspberry juice from concentrate(4.5%), apple juice from concentrate(4.5%) Sugar, grape juice from concentrate(4%), citric acids, flavouring, vitamin C."

Is this ok to use? or does it have to many things in? :?::?:

Should be good, what is the sugar content like?
 
Holy crap I am a moron. My IPA is too red, my Ruby Red is not red enough. I've mixed the fuckers when I made them. 2 can kits both have one can of each in ffs. Well it's surprisingly drinkable. I have 80 pints of my own mysterious concoction now. Where is the window licking smiley when I need it.

I reckon so, it's not the greatest although it's only 1 week conditioned. When I was drinking the shop bought ruby yesterday I thought I recognised a flavour in it. It's the flavour that is sat in the background of my IPA. They are identical colours both batches. :lol:

Ya daft bastard! :lol::lol:
 
Not sure whether or not I might need to put some more brews on for xmas, the flavour explosion in this glass is making it quite a slow drinking pint. :oops:
