Nope. Need more equipment etc...hence my other order.

Did you spot a hydrometer for sale?

Did you spot a hydrometer for sale?

Yep, part of my order.

 

[biometrics]

Don't you mean ice cold or boiling water?

Don't know. I could Google it or just ask here and wait...

 

[biometrics]

Yep, part of my order.

Of course I didn't have one to start with so not sure it will help with this batch.

 

[Papa Smurf]

As I said im sure they cut it with meths or something this doesnt just happen

Fucking White Trash?

I placed an order with beerguevara.com. They say it will be delivered tomorrow. Let's see.

That server is under strain.

So if I pasteurise it will stop the yeast and I can store in outside the fridge? So how do I pastuerise, can i put them in the bath with warm water?

Yes if you pasteurize you can store outside. Heat water in pot to 82C, turn off heat and then put bottles in to sit for 10min.

Edit: Water should sit above the level of the liquid in the bottle

So not plastic bottles then? Mmm.

Let us know how it goes, I am very tempted to buy a kit.

Maybe not at that temp but apparently PET bottles can be pasteurized at temps of 65C perhaps leave it in for longer at lower temp

 

[biometrics]

That's a lot easier than the video I watched. Of course, I don't have a straw. Meh.

Will rather buy one

The 5L won't fit in a pot, was hoping I can do it in the bath with geyser water.

You should decant to glass bottles or jars; plastic bottles can get weakened by heat and you may end up heating a grenade.
Many white wine bottles have screw caps, similarly valpre glass bottles, also glass tomato sauce bottles, pickle bottles, etc.

Compared to @Spizz's that looks very cloudy.

Didn't filter it through a cloth.

Mixed reports... Here he tried Coca Cola, Fanta and Mountain Dew... the only 1 that worked according to him was Fanta; but then in the comments there is a suggestion that by heating the soft drink on a medium heat (but not boiling) will remove the preservatives and allow fermentation to occur normally once it has cooled down.

the Ginger Cola one you boil for 10 min maybe thats why it works

 

[Snyper564]

Bottles on the left are 5 day fermented and 3 day bottled conditioned apple Liqui Fruit just pasteurized and cooling down. On the right cranberry apple Liqui Fruit fermented for 8 days and to be bottle conditioned for 3 tills till pasteurization. Both tasted before bottling and both delicious. All bottles are 750ml, used brewers yeast not bread yeast

 

[Snyper564]

So my 20L apple beer is definately developing a bit of an alcohol smell so I guess it's working. I'll bottle into 4 x 5L plastic bottles.

I only have space for two in the fridge. So if I pasteurise it will stop the yeast and I can store in outside the fridge? So how do I pastuerise, can i put them in the bath with warm water?
