Hello, does Anyone have any tips about turning our veg into booze? We grow Beetroot, carrot, rhubarb. Lots of recipes online, but they just say 'yeast' and yeast supplement; aren't there different types of yeasts for brewing?
I have very little knowledge of brewing, used to help neighbours make scrumpy as a kid and made a good apple brew with a friend 10 years ago. We used champagne yeast for this, and it wasn't cider, more like sherry. But he did the maths on sugar, dates for racking, etc., so I have a basic understanding, but don't really know what I'm doing, how to achieve different strengths, clarity, flavour combinations, etc.
I'd like to develop a product or line of products for farmers markets, etc. Plan is to follow some different recipes and see what they all turn out like. If anyone can offer me any advice or tips, or direct me to some good sources of information I'd be very grateful, and maybe one day I can send you some finest Scottish Beetroot wine, fizz, liquor..?
