What is the best homebrew i could start with? i really want to have a go at some but dont want to try?
something to elaborate for my first time? and what percentages please?
Answers:
Mead is not easy to get the fermantation started. The high levels of sugars and low levels of nutrients is not a favorable environment for yeast. You are prone to stuck fermentations.
Both beer and wine are pretty easy. Wine will have less ingredients and you don't need to heat anything. Go to the local homebrew store and get some grape concentrate, and they will have a recipe on the back of that! It is pretty simple.
I can't stress enough, do NOT try mead for the first one. I tried it on my 4-5 time, and it was a lot of work.
Have fun!
EDIT*
You'd NEVER ferment something in stage one for 3 months. After a week or so you'd switch it over to a carboy for the second stage fermentation.
Mead is the easiest in my opinion and the tastiest
you need a demi john (glass bottle with a vacum seal that holds a gallon)
3/4 of a pound of honey (get the good stuff from a health food store.it'll be in block form rather then a bottle of syrup)
boil the honey in the water untill it reaches a full boil, then let it simmer, you'll see a scum float to the top, get a sieve a scope out the scum (its all the impurities in the honey) then bring it up to a bopil again untill theres no more scum on top. at this point you can throw in a few berries to flavour it but if you do you'll have to repeat the scum boiling part. once thats done cool down the liquid as fast as possible (big bucket of ice works well for this) now poor it into the demi-john and add 'formula 67' yeast (you should be able to get it online or anywhere that sells yeast, there will be instructions on the pack *** to how to activate it, by adding sugar and water) then you leave it to ferment for few months, think its 3. After that check to make sure the liquid is clear and pour it into bottles preferably glass, chill to the temp you like it and drink it. Its a very old Irish/viking recipe, hope you enjoy it.Any more questions on it feel free to get in touch with me
