The Eco Cuppa – Eco Friendly Kettles

Nobody can deny that in Britain we love our tea. Each year a staggering 229 million cups of tea and coffee are drank every day which means enough water is boiled to fill 22 Olympic sized swimming pools.

However, that is unfortunately not the case, as most people when they ‘put the kettle on’ tend to fill it with more water than they actually need. And even if we try and put just enough water in the kettle for our cuppa, it will either still be too much or worse still not enough, meaning we have to refill the kettle and boil it again.

Fortunately a range of eco Kettles are available that are specially designed to help you avoid this unnecessary waste by getting the amount of water just right.

These eco kettles, whist holding up to a litre and a half of water, only heat the amount of water required, from one cup to the whole lot.

Some of these eco kettles are even optimised for the perfect temperature, delivering hot water at 80°c for speciality teas, 90° for coffee and 100° boiling for regular tea.

These intelligent eco-kettles mean that we can save a third of the energy every time we turn the kettle on. Not only does this mean the kettle will boil quicker and we get our tea sooner but we can make quite dramatic savings on our electricity bills.

An eco kettle is not expensive either and is comparable with a regular kettle, however, the savings in running the kettle will soon pay off because an eco kettle will save you money every single time you put the kettle on.

What should you look for in Chicken Houses?

If you want to purchase some chickens for the satisfaction of gathering your own fresh eggs everyday you will need to find the right chicken house to house them in. Chickens are very easy to care for and do not require a lot of roaming room in the yard so they are the perfect farm animal to keep in your own back yard.

Chickens need to get out in the fresh air every day so you need to provide them with a chicken yard that is safe from any dogs or cats that may try to dig up underneath the pen in order to grab a chicken. The yard should be a safe fenced in pen that will allow them to get out of the pen and get some fresh air.

If you have a small back yard to keep the chickens in you may want to consider chicken houses that are on wheels. You can wheel the chickens around the yard as they wear the grass down in their chicken yard. These are the most convenient chicken houses that are available today. You can easily wheel the chickens around your property, reset the outdoor yard fence, and open the door and let them out. You will give the grass a chance to grow back before moving the chicken pen in that area again.

You want to find chicken houses that have egg laying boxes inside. You may just need one or two boxes depending on the size of your flock. Most hens will lay eggs in the same area so you can gather up everything in one or two boxes. Chickens will mainly lay eggs in the mornings but they can lay eggs in the evenings, it depends on the chickens.

You can build your own chicken houses if you can’t find the right one for you. You can purchase the lumber and all supplies and search online for the best chicken house plan that you like. Most of these plans are free and they fall into the do it yourself category on home improvement sites. They will provide step-by-step instructions on how to put your chicken house together. Because there is a variety to choose from you can create the perfect house for your back yard.

In the end you will have chickens in your back yard and fresh eggs on the table every morning. You can purchase as many chickens as you need to so you can have enough eggs for your breakfast every morning.

Simply visit www.gogalilee2009.org/ for more detailed information regarding chicken houses.

Basic equipment guide for making cheap homemade wine

November 18, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

There are many many different types of wine-making kits available on the market, but how much of this stuff do you actually need?

Obviously if you are going to start mashing your own fruit there will be extra (and more complicated!) chemicals and ingredients you will need, but for THE MOST BASIC WINE, this is what i would recommend.

A demijohn (To ferment the wine)
An airlock with rubber bung (To stop contamination whilst brewing)
Campden tablets (To kill the yeast at the end)
Yeast (To turn the sugar into alcohol)
Yeast nutrient (To feed the yeast and help it ferment quickly)
Steriliser (To make sure all your equipment is totally bacteria-free)
2 metres thin syphon tube – with plastic tap (To bottle the finished product)
A plastic funnel (To put the juice into the demijohn)
A measuring jug (to dissolve the sugar before adding to demijohn)
A solid rubber bung (for the end)

This list is kept to the bare minimum, and is all you would need if making wine from basic fruit juice ingredients.

The only other piece i would add to this (for a beginner) is a hydrometer, which is what you use to measure the amount of sugar in the mix before it starts fermenting.

The amount of sugar measured by the hydrometer is what will determine the final percentage of alcohol in your finished product.

With that lot (which would probably only set you back around £20) you could follow my recipe to make my Cheap Homemade Strawberry Wine.

For all my future recipes i will assume that you have at least this basic equipment.

There are many other ingredients you could buy if you decided to go into wine-making as a serious hobby, but the main thing i would add after this is some more demijohns!

A gallon of my cheap wine is likely to be drinkable after a month, but it always tastes better if you can leave it for two months or longer. If you leave it in the demijohn to clear naturally before bottling (recommended) then you will want to start your next gallon before that one is ready.

Personally i have six demijohns. I suppose i would make two gallons of winea month, and always leave a spare empty demijohn or two to syphon the wine away from the lees before leaving it to settle and mature.

And don’t forget you will also need an extra airlock and bung for each demijohn, and also a few solid rubber bungs for when they are maturing.

So take a trek down to your local home brew supplier and get this basic selection of equipment back to your house, and then try one of my recipes.

You won’t regret it!

How to make a gallon of cheap strawberry wine

November 16, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

I like to make many different types of homemade wine, but this is one of my particular favourites. I have made this with real strawberries, but they are very very expensive when out of season, so take note of my very cheap ingredients, but the taste is exactly the same as with real strawberries.

So here is you shopping list:

2 litres of red (or purple) grape juice. Make sure it is pure. We hate additives!

1 small (500ml) bottle of strawberry sauce (You know, the type you squirt over your ice-cream)

1 kilo of sugar

That’s it!  At my local Asda or Tesco that would normally set me back about £3.70. If you pay more you have been ripped off.

Now i am going to assume that you have all the necessary tools for the job. i.e. Demijohn, steriliser, airlock, funnel, yeast and yeast nutrient, etc. If not then see my recipe for apple wine that i published earlier.

You would have sterilised the demijohn in preparation of course, so first of all you place the funnel into the demijohn and pour the two litres of pure red grape juice into it.

Then you take the sugar and fill up a measuring  jug and pour on boiling water. You must stir it vigorously. This is called changing it into inverted sugar, which is what the yeast feeds on. When it is totally dissolved you pour it into the demijohn. Repeat until the whole kilo of sugar is added to the juice.

Next comes the strawberry syrup. This also needs to have boiling water added to it, and stir as if your life depended on it. Add the resulting solution to the demijohn as well, and you should have about 3.5 litres of liquid in there by now. Don’t worry if it is more  or less.

Now you need to cover the top of the demijohn and give it a good swirl around to mix it up well, and to take the heavy sugar off the bottom.

You are nearly there now. Add enough water to take it to about 4 litres, give it another shake, and then add your teaspoon of Super Wine Yeast. Stick the airlock on top and leave it in a warm place.

In a few days, when the initial ferment has calmed down, you go back and add a couple of teaspoons of yeast nutrient to the solution. It’s probably best to do this in the sink or bath as occasionally it can bubble like hell for a few minutes. When it has settled down again, top up the demijohn with cold water up to the gallon mark, give it a shake, and then put it away again for at least a month, or until it has at least stopped bubbling. (Don’t be so impatient!)

When you can’t handle the suspense any more (and it has stopped bubbling) the sensible thing to do would be to siphon it off into another demijohn, leaving all the lees in the bottom. If you don’t have another one spare, don’t worry. Add a crushed Campden tablet to the mix to kill off any active yeast that is left, and then leave it in a cupboard somewhere out of the light and heat.

You COULD bottle it just a couple of days later if you wanted, but i recommend you leave it as long as possible. After a week it will be nice. After a month it will be excellent. But leave it for three months and you will be amazed at your work of art.

Generally i want to use the demijohn again quite quickly, so after a week i would transfer it to plastic bottles (and have a sneaky glass!) then let it mature in the bottle(s) while i am brewing my next gallon in the demijohn.

There you are. You have made a gallon of strawberry wine for around 60p a bottle. You can’t get better than that!

How to make cheap Apple Wine at home

November 16, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

Hi everyone, i have to tell you that i am the absolute expert in making cheap wine. I live in England and the price of a bottle of cheap wine is extortionate over here, so if you live in a country like this you need to take careful note of what i am going to tell you.

You can read many articles that tell you that you need ‘this and that’ and all the general paraphanalia that wine-making stores tell you are essential for the job, but from years of experience, i know otherwise. Follow my simple guide and you will have success. Yes, if you are looking for perfection then you can buy all the recommended stuff, but for a simple successful home brewed wine, this is the way to do it.

The basic tools you will need are:

A Demijohn (or two! I have five myself!)

Campden tablets

Yeast (Preferably Super Wine Yeast)

Yeast nutrient

A bottle of bab-bottle steralising fluid

A cheap plastic funnel

An airlock and rubber bung

This lot should cost you less than £10 if you just get the one demijohn. This will be the best investment you have ever made!

Now for the ingredients, which are extremely basic and can be bought from any big supermarket.

For one gallon of Apple Wine you will need:

2 litres of white grape juice

2 litres of cheap apple juice

1 kilo of sugar

Total cost around £3.50 (usually less, shop around)

Now for the hard part (Only joking!)

First off all you sterilise the demijohn with the beby steriliser. Put a cap full in, fill it up, and wait an hour. Rinse it out with cold water and its ready.

You use the funnel to put the two litres of white grape juice into the demijohn

Fill the kettle up, boil it, and (using a container like a measuring jug) pour it on top of the sugar and stir with a fork until it is fully disolved.

Pour sugar into demijohn….. and add another half a litre of boiling water afterwards to raise the temperature a little

This is the time to give it a very good shake and let the sugar mix in with the grape juice

Then you get the Super wine yeast and put one teaspoon into the demijohn. put a little of the sterilised water into the airlocs, and leave it in a warm place for it to ferment. (If you have a starter yeast then follow the instructions on the packet.)

The next day it will have started bubbling. When it is very rigorously bubbling away, add the two litres of apple juice

Give it another good shake to make sure it is well mixed. Replace the airlock.

That is all the preparation finished. Leave it somwhere warm (but not too warm! The rules say around 25 degrees but it’s not that important. The colder it is, the longer it takes. The best rule is if you are comfortable, then the wine is too.

Wait about 6 weeks, or until the wine has stopped bubbling, and it is ready to drink, but the longer you leave it the better it will be. Crush one Campden tablet and add it to the finished wine. In 24 hours it will be ready to bottle.

Use the plastic tube to siphon the liquid into some bottles. Being a cheapskate i use old lemonade bottles, but that is up to you. Just make sure that you are very careful with the siphoning and don’t get too much of the lees from the bottom into the bottle. It is always better to forget about the last half-inch rather than get in into your drinking supply.

Taste it to assure yourself you have made a masterpiece, but no matter how good it tastes, always remember it will be much better after setting in the bottle for a few weeks, so try to be patient.

And that’s it. You have a gallon of excellent wine for just £3.50. And you are an expert at making cheap homemade wine!

Now make another one after you have cleaned out the demijohn.

I am a very experienced home brewer and make many different types of beer and wine, so have made my own homebrew website called http://justhomebrewtips.com.
And i also have a Website Reviewing site called http://justwebsitereviews.com
I hope you like my writing (and my wine!)

Tips For Beer Making Recipes

November 15, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

An important part of successful beer making at home is using the proper equipment, ingredients, and keeping all of the equipment sanitized. Everything used in, on, or around your brew will affect the taste and flavor. So, it is important to keep all equipment sanitized when making the ingredients and using the mixture that is required to get the flavor that you want.

Many websites have different beer making recipes. Currently a person will find over a thousand beer making recipes on different websites. The recipe that a person selects can create a light beer, lager, or heavy ale. The mix and type of ingredients used in the recipe will impact the way that the beer comes out. When you have a flavor in mind for your beer, it is easy to change malts, grains, or hops in a recipe to create a unique flavor.

Some people feel that using malt extract is best for a beer recipe. Other people prefer to make their malt from a grain other than barley. Malt is used to activate the yeast that is key to fermenting your beer. By using different types of malt a person will be able to create different and unique tasting beer.

Water is a big part of the beer making recipe. Using filtered tap water that has been boiled is very popular with home brewers. This water is more affordable than other waters and the minerals in the beer add to it’s unique flavor. It is important to use water that has not had its minerals removed such as distilled water.

Grains used in beer can vary greatly. Most beer recipes use barley. However, a person can get a lighter tasting beer using corn or another grain. There is no rule about the hops, malts, or grains that make a good beer. The taste of beer is purely personal so you will want to experiment with the ingredients to find the recipe that works best for you.

Once you have found the recipe that looks like it will fit your taste and flavor requirements, make a small batch first. This will allow you to experiment and see what flavors will be best for your brewing efforts. Many people find that using a kit to make their first few batches of home brew is a great way to gain confidence in the effects of the beer making recipes that are available.

Specialized Restaurant Supplies - Kitchen Gadgets You Never Knew You Needed

November 13, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

Even the most experienced professional chefs sometimes overlook the value of specialized restaurant supplies. If you have ever inherited a box of unidentifiable kitchen contraptions from your grandmother, you have probably seen some strange-looking, specialized tools. Decades have passed since these gadgets were common to the majority of households, but do not throw out your grandmother’s treasures. A lot of these tools are just as useful today as they were then, and other specialized items have been developed that you can purchase from a restaurant supply store. These utensils offer a great addition to both residential or commercial kitchens. With a little creativity, you can find all kinds of ways to use them.

Melon Ballers

Using a knife to cut a melon is messy and time-consuming, and the end result is lacking in presentation. Melon ballers offer the perfect solution. They resemble a small spoon with a hole in the middle to allow air and water through. Simply twist the baller to scoop out the melon flesh. If you believe that you do not prepare enough melon to merit the purchase of a melon baller, think again. They are perfect for forming a spherical garnish out of just about anything, including the following:

• Papaya
• Pear
• Ice cream
• Butter
• Cooked potato

There are a variety of other potential uses, including scooping out the cores and/or seeds of other fruits and vegetables. When making stuffed cherry tomatoes or mushrooms, use a melon baller to remove the unwanted cores. Just be careful not to go too wild with your baller, or you might find yourself serving little spheres of every food imaginable.

Baking Mats

Anyone who does a lot of baking, whether at home or in the commercial kitchen, should invest in a baking mat. If your grandmother knew you had one, she would be jealous. Baking mats are reusable, non-stick pan liners made of laminated silicone. They are oven-, freezer- and microwave-safe. Since they can be used thousands of times, they are cost-effective and good for the environment, eliminating the need for greasing the pan or lining it with single-use parchment paper. The mats also serve as the perfect non-stick surface for kneading and rolling dough. They are an essential addition to your restaurant supplies, but make sure you store your baking mats flat or rolled-up, rather than folded, since any creases will ruin their functionality.

Potato Ricers

Although rotary models exist, a simple potato ricer looks like a giant garlic press and functions similarly. It processes food by forcing it through tiny holes about the size of a grain of rice. Originally, potato ricers were designed for cooked potatoes, producing creamier, more velvety mashed potatoes than a mere potato masher could ever achieve. However, they can be used to process a huge variety of other foods, including the following:

• Roasted garlic
• Pumpkin
• Grapes
• Spaetzle
• Liver

You can use a ricer to puree any cooked vegetable, like cassava and carrots, or to make baby food, chopped liver or pumpkin pie. It is also perfect for creating butter dots to cut into flour, squeezing the water from thawed or cooked spinach, cutting eggs for egg salad, and, of course, making hair out of Play-Doh.

Pie Markers

Everyone wants a fair share of the pie. Using a pie marker will guarantee even slicing. The metal teeth on the tool “mark” the pie so that it is easy to cut into uniformly sized pieces. While pie markers represent one of the most specialized tools, they are not just for dessert pies. You can also use a pie marker to evenly slice the following:

• Cornbread
• Cakes
• Quiche
• Pizza
• Flat breads

Pie markers are available in restaurant supply stores with as little as five cuts or as many as twelve. Any pizza place or bakery should have a variety of pie markers available at any given time for slicing pizzas, pies and cakes of all sizes. Pie markers are also useful for creating perfect slices in the home kitchen, and they are always a good excuse for the houseguest that “just wants a little piece” to take a temporary break from dieting.

China Caps and Chinois

China caps and chinois, which is French for “Chinese,” resemble their name-sake: a conical Chinese hat. A china cap is made of perforated metal and is suitable for straining seeds or large chunks out of sauces, juices and soups, while a chinois is made of mesh that is fine enough to strain custards, drinks or sauces into a smoother texture.

Use a dowel, a matching cone or a small ladle to apply pressure on the mixture and force it through the strainer. For the smoothest possible consistency, you can use a cheesecloth in conjunction with the chinois. This is perfect for making smooth drinks, like almond milk. The chinois or china cap can also be used to evenly dust food with a layer of powdered sugar. Just make sure any children lurking nearby know that it is not actually a “cap,” or they will have a finely powdered mop of hair.

Corers and Slicers

A modern day food processor simply cannot cut with the accuracy of a traditional hand-held slicer or cutter. When it comes to cutting fries or coring an apple, there is no substitute for a manually powered utensil. The following kitchen gadgets can save a lot of labor in the kitchen:

• Tomato corers, or “tomato sharks,” and tomato wedgers
• Melon peelers
• Onion wedgers
• Egg slicers
• French fry cutters
• Apple slicers, corers and peelers

These tools speed up the process of coring and slicing, and they are also safer than using a knife. Whether you are preparing food in a commercial kitchen or at home, specialized corers and slicers will save you a lot of time, and maybe even a finger.

Reasons to Purchase Specialized Supplies

Specialized restaurant supplies open up new opportunities. Without an onion slicer, you probably would not realize how much time you waste cutting onions, and you certainly would not consider serving a blooming onion. You never thought you needed one, but if a melon baller is not available in your kitchen, you may not even think to add spherical cuts and garnishes to your menu items. The more specialized tools you add to your residential or restaurant supply, the greater your opportunities for culinary creativity.

Learn The Best Extract Brewing Recipes

November 12, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

Making beer for home consumption is legal in most Canadian provinces. One of the earliest, modern attempts to regulate private production that affected this era was the Inland Revenue Act of 1880 in the United Kingdom; this required a 5-shilling home brewing license.

Extract Brewing Recipes

States remain free to restrict, or even prohibit, the manufacture of beer, mead, hard cider, wine and other alcoholic beverages at home.

When prohibition was repealed, home wine-making was legalized, however a clerical error omitted the words “and/or beer” from the document which was eventually passed into law so home brewing remained illegal until 1978 when Congress passed a bill repealing Federal restrictions on the home brewing of small amounts of beer. In 1920 the United States outlawed the manufacture and consumption of alcoholic beverages “for beverage purposes”.

You do have the option of purchasing the expensive kits for home brewing, some which run as high as $100-200 dollars!. In the United Kingdom, well-found pioneers were home winemakers owing to the greater availability of information and ingredients.

Mass production of brewed beverages began in the 1700s with the industrial revolution. In the United Kingdom one may produce an unlimited quantity of fermented beverages for domestic consumption only.

The goal these days is to build a good beer brewed from fresh grain and hops, one that is pure all-grain wort, made the same way as those very good commercial micro brewed beers, otherwise what is the point of brewing your own beer, right? Either brew some good stuff or just go buy it.

Primary fermentation of home brewing takes place in a large glass or plastic carboys or food-grade plastic bucket, nearly always sealed. Home brewers can select from ingredients identical to those used in commercial brewing, in addition to a wide range of post-market customization as well.

Brewing by utilizing beer making kits may allow the home brewer to avoid the need to boil the wort. Beer making kits are frequently pre-boiled with the hops. New innovations, like thermometers and hydrometers, allowed increases in efficiency and attenuation.

The advantages of brewing your own fresh batch of beer from the comfort of your home are quite obvious, one of which is saving money. You can work to master beer brewing skills that will blow away tasters of your home brewed batch.

Quit spending your money on poor tasteless commercial beer from the local store! All you home beer brewers should have the very best start practical for a great beer making face. Having a high quality beer making guide that will enhance and support you complete the beer making endure is paramount.

All Grain Brewing Recipes-Brew Your Best Beer

November 12, 2009 | By admin In Home Brewing | Comments(0)

The concise art of beer making at home is enjoyed and experienced by beer making enthusiasts everywhere. In 1920 the United States outlawed the manufacture and consumption of alcoholic beverages “for beverage purposes”.

All Grain Brewing Recipes

Brewing on a domestic level has been done for thousands of years, but has been subject to regulation and prohibition. One of the earliest, modern attempts to regulate private production that affected this era was the Inland Revenue Act of 1880 in the United Kingdom; this required a 5-shilling home brewing license.

While legality of home brewing varies from country to country, most allow home brewing, some countries limiting the volume brewed by an individual, and even fewer countries allowing distillation of hard alcohol. There is a majority of people who fail to brew a successful batch of beer (over 75%), try to avoid being a statistic.

Some important factors for making a great beer include, gentle handling and using fresh grains. These remedy preserve flavors and have the beer come through fresh. Fresh beer is the result of fresh grains. Knowledge of brewing beer and wine was passed on from the Egyptians to the Greeks and finally to the Romans. The goal these days is to build a good beer brewed from fresh grain and hops, one that is pure all-grain wort, made the same way as those very good commercial micro brewed beers, otherwise what is the point of brewing your own beer, right?

In recent times, home brewing has increased in popularity creating a subculture that usually follows most hobbies. Mass production of brewed beverages began in the 1700s with the industrial revolution.

Sometimes known as beer in a can, no-boil, and hopped wort; beer kits contain liquid malt extract that, when reconstituted with water, produces wort. Home brewers can select from ingredients identical to those used in commercial brewing, in addition to a wide range of post-market customization as well. Wort is typically boiled for an hour to two hours, which allows the beer to be infused with hop flavor and which also has the effect of sterilizing the liquid so that it will not be contaminated before the addition of yeast.

Sometimes referred to as “craft brewing”, home brewing has developed various home brewing clubs and competitions. Primary fermentation of home brewing takes place in a large glass or plastic carboys or food-grade plastic bucket, nearly always sealed. New innovations, like thermometers and hydrometers, allowed increases in efficiency and attenuation.
