Just a quick update on the brewing for 40th Birthday meet at Brownlow arms.I have bottled 35 pints of a Newcastle Brown Ale clone.I made fewer pints than should purely to get a darker full body to it also should be a sweeter taste to it will have to see how it matures in the bottle.I have also done a few bottles of Blueberry vodka will make some apple next week.In the fermenters i have 30 pints of ginger beer added extra cup of raw sugar to it to bring ABV to about 4% as normally comes out about 3.5%.Also have 40 pints of a wheat/white beer on the go i made this with 500g of light spray malt and 500g of dextrose and its bubbling away nicely.Will probably stick some orange peel and corriander seeds in over next few days for a nice refreshing flavour.So all in all we should have plenty to be drinking come the meet also planning on doing a Guinness clone over next few days as well

There is a preview post thing if you click "visual" bottom left in your posting box or "bbcode" it will toggle between what the post will look like and what code is in it to produce

Well bottling up the ginger beer and wheat beer over next couple of days with 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar to allow the secondary ferment and carbonation.Forgot to mention in the demijohns i have a gallon of apple and raspberry turbo cider as well as a gallon of apple and black current turbo cider have the ingredients to get an apple and mango started as as soon as.I added enough sugar in these to make up to about 8-9% had an O.G. of 1.075 so should be strong
