I've got to try this, simple looking recipe too, thanks!

I can attest to that! Great looking setup :)

I think my combination of store brand orange juice and Welch's purple grape juice are stable but very busy. Can't wait to try the results in time :)

Hi Alex!

I've got my first WOW on the go in a PET 5L container, original wow recipe and goodness what an active fermentation after only a day!

Hey Wasabi, I've just bottled my first brew which is also a Wilko one can kit. Are you looking for reviews of the canned extract or the whole kit? :)

Hydro reading of 1.010 today, thinking of bottling it this Saturday :)

Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll check out everything you all suggested :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Can you please recommend a good starter wine kit that I can show my wife? I thought I was boring her with all my talk of beer brewing but actually she want's to get in on the act! She is interested in a white wine, not a huge yield, 6 bottles or so. I have been buying most of my kits and...

Thanks Darrell and Memit, I will probably bottle it this coming Saturday as that would have given it a good two weeks to finish it's fermentation. I am noting all the things I do on this first batch, I already have a better FV with an air lock for my next brew which will be the Coopers Original...

Just a quick update, I re-pitched yesterday with some added yeast nutrient to see if I could stimulate some activity. Hydro reading was 1.014 before doing that. I also gave the FV a better insulated cover in case it is slightly cold here. Here's hoping :)

Aha that is handy to know, thank you!

My hydro reading this morning was 1.014, still no signs of carbonation either. What do you think?

I know this kit didn't mention adding sugar, the extract was quite thick, the Wilko kit seems to use iBrew cans if that helps. I'll get a stick on thermometer to tomorrow, I'll get a hydro reading when I get back from work today. Thanks for helping!

Hi Everyone, I'm completely new to brewing. I actually got into this from my interest in baking my own bread. I have some questions and I apologise in advance if every newcomer asks the same things. I have been using a Wilko starter kit (Bloke Stuff Real Ale 20 Pint Starter Kit). The kit...
