has anybody done a finlandia beer kit, im just wondering because the reviews seem few and far between.......as in none!!!??? :cheers:

For a tenner!!, it wont be long before you get a return on that...about 1 1/2 hours i would of thought :D :cheers:

just tasted my first done by my fair hand all grain all i can say is that it was worth the hours genning up on here, its the dark side all the way now (a big thankyou to all who helped with what may have seemed silly questions), and who gave the the most important thing...the confidence to do...

Well today it finally happened...the dark side...my first ever all grain 23l.....and god did i love it...sorry threre are no pics, as you can imagine my brain, mind and outer self were miles away....did an irish red ale..thanks to a sponser above for all that i needed, and a big thanks for all...

keep it simple to start, go with 500g of brewing sugar and 500g of light malt extract make sure your wort is well airated before putting in the yeast and have the big thing...patience :cheers:

i bought one of these, and to be honest i wasnt impressed with the build quality, and like you i wanted to top up in the fv so i bought this http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/specialist ... 897e5ca35a good build and holds the heat well, ive also used it for a mini BIAB it says 18l but i think its...

+1 for sanitise then use as soon as...if nothing its peace of mind as well :cheers:

Is there a set formula for scaling down recipies from say a 19ltr batch to a 12 ltr batch, mainly for BIAB? :cheers:

Worzels Orange Wine...type that in the search area...its easier than explaining it all :cheers:

here in sunny Oxford, Greene King IPA is in alot of pubs.....and thats where it generally stays...the dishwater after a sunday roast would taste better :sick:

Coopers stout....tastes great and is madder than a broadmoor outpatient in the FV :cheers:

nope wont work well with the injector best bet like will said is to bottle it same with any lagers really :cheers:

fair shout...get Graham wheelers British real ale book....its a real good start if like me me want to go to further than just can extract :cheers:

coopers stout does have a reputation of going mad (mine did second day), so be ready for some leakage!! the lid just resting on the top is fine as nothing can get in with the gas escaping....also no need to add finings as its a stout so it wont be clear and most stuff will drop out of suspension...

its very addictive and the scope seems endless!!, i only started just before christmas and now im already thinking extract :cheers:
