Most brewing yeasts are capable of about the 12% ABV level, most wine type yeasts will do more.

Hell, even bread yeast can do about 12%.

It's actual ...

PostForum: Recipes, Preserving, Homebrewing   Posted: Sun Oct 28, 12 2:53 pm   Subject: Making a ginger beer type-thing from jam
there's a number of recipes for making wine from jam, so I'd presume that would be similar.

The trick, as I understand it, is to use enough of the "jam" to be watered down so that you get a good fr ...

West country cider is all "cider" apples i.e. bitter sharp/bitter sweet, whereas Kentish cider is a mix of sweet/sharp apples (eating/cooking).

Any wine yeast could be used, though the one that com ...

Bread yeast can indeed be used, but it would depend on the recipe and method.

The problem with bread yeast is that it doesn't flocculate very well i.e. settle down and pack tightly at the bottom of ...

TVM for the ideas and guidance. Those recipes etc, give me something to work from.

I did have a good look round Tesco's last weekend and the local one keeps clear, uncoloured pickling vinegar that ...

Those damned jars of mixed pickles that are to be found in the supermarket. The cauliflower pieces are always at the bottom of the jar, there's never enough of them and you have to virtually be a mine ...

The reason for that, is so it's balanced in ...
