Yes! As long as the fermenting bucket has been cleaned completely using steriliser. We use Richies Steriliser that can be picked from Wilkos or the local home brew shop.

Peach Schnapps Home Brew – Results

Posted on November 16, 2011 by mark

Here is the the final result of the Peach Schnapps, the kit made about 6 wine bottles in the end, I half filled some bottles so I could give a couple of bottles to friends.

The taste is very sweet and takes a lot like peach schanpps you could buy in your local supermarket, although not quite as nice and definitely not as alcoholic. I’d certainly do this kit again, but with the range that is produced by Prohibition I’ll try some other kits before coming back to this one.

The last process was fairly straight forward, I cleaned my equipment and used a large bucket -

Moved the liquid from the demijohn to the fermenting bucket
Added 500 grams of sugar
Added the peach schnapps flavouring
Syphoned the peach schnapps into the wine bottles

Brewer Bill Coventry

Posted on October 28, 2011 by mark

Popped into Coventry City Centre last weekend and made it to the market to see Brewer Bill in Coventry Market. Been there a few times now and its great to pick up brewing bits and bobs including a decent range of beer and wine kits. Its a bit easier to call in on Brewer Bill than travel out to Solihull to see Brew Genie and saves money on postage and packaging if ordering online.

To find Brew Bill it is best to enter Coventry market from the Sports Direct entrance and go into to the market through the doors on the left. Brew Bill is down the first aisle in-front of you.

Adding Chitosan – Prohibition Peach Schnapps Part 4

Posted on October 10, 2011 by mark

Its been one day since I added the kieselsol and it was time to add the Chitosan to clear the liquid. The demijohn was starting to clear after 24 hours, with the liquid a grey colour and black sediment at the bottom.

The chitosan comes in a packet and you just add it to the demijohn and gently shake it for 20 seconds. Nothing happened but now I need to leave it for 3 days . Will see what happens!
