Great spot, rate Bishops finger also

Started drinking this kit after getting it in a wilko sale a while back and very impressed for a budget kit. Brewed it basic with 1kg brewing sugar to 21litres. Comes out as a very nice session beer without the 'twang' of other wilko kits I've tried.

Cheers for the reply Fil, might just leave the tyre valves on and check more regularly, and of course drink it quicker :lol:

Hello, Has anyone who has a car tyre valve fitted on their 5 Gallon Pressure Barrels managed to fit a pressure gauge that can be left on with out leaking any pressure. I've got the type of valves fitted below on my barrels and would like to fit a gauge that I can have on all the time (this...

Started drinking mine a bit early (couldn't resist a try out), got to say I'm well impressed :D I've recently finished drinking canned Becks and rate this as good if not better. Which after my first disastrous attempt at a wilko cerveza 'lager' has got me keen to brew more of this. Brewed as...

Just had a taste out the pressure barrel after 3 weeks in a cold shed and its seriously impressive :thumb: After a bit of a rank brew result with the Wilko's cerveza my faith in home brew is restored ( the only two kits I've tried so far).Stuck to the instructions and would definitely buy this...

Just bought a Euro lager for £10, looking forward to trying this as its my first lager kit I've tried with a lager yeast. Anybody got any tips for extra ingredients that have tried this kit ? Was just going to add beer enhancer.

Thinking of putting one together as well, but do I really need one? Brewing using water bath method in garage so far, before this hobby gets even a little further out of control, does this help a lot. Might wait until next year when cooler temps are needed for lager brews.But do your best not to...

Only done the Cervaza so probably not much help but that came out really dark when bottling, if the pilsner is any darker than that I'd call it Guinness

Well it certainly looks clear, mine's been cooling for 3 weeks in the shed and is still really cloudy but has plenty of fizz (tried one at the weekend for research purposes :whistle: ).The taste wasn't too bad bit still surprised how dark its turned out.

Yep and when they're older they'll be thanking you for all the hours looking after your beer that they keep drinking

Has anybody got any pics of their brew at early bottling stage.Its my first brew attempt and I'm surprised how dark it looks, almost a treacle colour but the test samples tasted good. Will post a pic once I'm past the newbie status.

Evening all, Just though I'd introduce myself and say thanks for all the great tips & advice on here. I've been planning on trying home brewing for ages but finally gave my garage a good sort out and have converted half of it into a brew lab. Just bottled my first attempt (a wilko's cerveza)...

First brew done & finally bottled today. Started off at 1044 and took fulll two weeks to get down to 1006.Used the recommendations on this thread of using 500g of spraymalt and 1kg of brewing sugar.The trial jar samples have tasted very impressive so far. Brewed short to 21 litres , working out...
