hi everyone , i have just started my first lager kit , i opted for a muntons gold continental pilsner lager . The kit says to carbonate it add half a teasppon of light spray malt but i have seen you can get coopers carbonation drops , what would you suggest is best as im about to order a cider...

hi there ,was wondering if anyone has made the Beaverdale Pinot Grigio kit before , i was looking for some assurance as i have made this up and its fermenting fine but it appears to be almost a creamy colour and was wondering if this was the norm . the other kits i have made have always...
