In the Lab today, we’ve achieved the impossible: a crystal-clear, 4.2% ABV Strawberry Sparkler for exactly 10 pence per litre. By utilizing "Time-as-a-Fining" and a controlled low-temperature ferment, we’ve turned the last two teaspoons of a jam jar into a crisp, sessionable drink that looks and tastes like a premium supermarket product.

This isn't just "hooch"—it’s a verified protocol for the cost-conscious brewer.
