Priming Your Drink We have to decide whether we are bottling, barrelling or using a Cornelius Keg. Once the decision is made: Carbonation happens when the fermentation has finished by adding more sugar to the beer. The yeast thinks it's finished converting all the sugar into alcohol (gives off CO2 Gas when it’s doing this) and has done its job but we trick it by adding more sugar which in turn wakes the yeast up which now starts to work again. It will turn the new sugar we have added into alcohol (...

Which is best? A spindle press or a cross beam press? Here, at Lovebrewing we are often asked to explain the difference between the two styles of fruit press. So, here are a few of the things we discuss: Advantages of the Spindle Press The first and most important is the spindle press is considerably cheaper.
