UPDATE Well I finally got around to bottling. It had finished fermenting last week and was down to 1.010. But, we have had family staying so had to wait a bit longer before bottling. 1.010 is the lowest i have gotten any of my brews so far. So, with the priming sugar (which i used golden...

I've made this a month ago, added brew enhancer. Nice and clear, strong and a good head, but sadly lacking in flavour. Wished i'd added hops.

I certainly will!!! It smelled absolutely gorgeous when brewing it, malted biscuits, and toast sprang to mind. It's bubbling away really well now, can't wait to give it a go. 1.30am was a bit OTT, i'll know better next time. I think i'll do a few more of these extract kits though, then move...

Well, first off a big thank you to the site and the Home Brew Company, as i won this kit in the recent competition. This is the first Extract brew that i have done so i was a little unsure of what to expect. As others have mentioned on opening the box, the first thing to note was that the...

I did mine slightly short at 21 Litres, brew enhancer and a goldings hop tea bag. I have to say i'm proper chuffed with the outcome. i might have to stock up on a few wherry kits whilst Tesco has them on for £16ish. Bargain!!!

Hi Dave, I have to agree it smells and tastes fantastic. This really has the makings of a great beer. The best i've made so far. Although, i really liked the Woodfords Admirals reserve and the Coopers Stout (with additions!!), this one seems to be a winner. :thumb:

Well tonight's the night. Brew down to 10.10 so is going to be about 7.5%. Its a completely different animal to a wherry. It smells fantastic and tastes really really good even straight out of the fermenter. Far better than the original wherry as far as i'm concerned, Its still a bit cloudy...

Blue Monday - New Order

Cheers Andy, I've ordered a few hop tea bags, one of which is 20g of Goldings. So i will make a tea and chuck it in. This brewing malarkey is all about experimenting, and finding out what is good and bad for you. The brew is slowly bubbling away in the corner of the kitchen. Once its finished...

Well tonight i thought i'd give something different a go. I'd just bottled up a Woodfordes Admirals reserve and thought about what to do next. I hunted through my bits and bobs and found a wherry kit, a kilo of beer enhancer and a packet of Gervin GV12 yeast. So at Sg 1060 its going to a bit...

Fantastic!! I will leave it alone until the 10th then bottle it, 2 weeks in the warm (24th) then into the beer fridge for a week. Then it's a Happy New Year

Hi, I've just had a similar thing. I'm brewing a Coopers stout kit. I added 1kg of beer enhancer, a tin of treacle and 300g of golden sugar. Started at 1.052 within 3 1/2 days it's down to 1.010!!! I used the kit yeast but also added reactivated yeast from a couple of bottle of Coopers pale ale...

Right Guys, Advice needed. As i posted earlier, i set this kit away on Wednesday evening with a SG 1.052, today less than 4 days later it is down to 1.010 is that right. I used the kit yeast and added i some re-activated yeast from some Coopers pale ale i had. Does this sound about right...

It said in the instructions that the optimum temp is 21-27 degrees. I've moved it into the garage and it is now sat at 22 and bubbling away quite nicely!! It smells fantastic too!!:grin:

Got up this morning, bubbling away nicely. Frothy head almost touching the lid. Brew belt has it sat at 26 degrees C. Jobs a good un!!!:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Well this is only my second kit after a Woodfordes Admirals Reserve (which is Fantastic!!!) and have started it off tonight. I have set away the original Coopers stout kit with 1kg of Muntons brew enhancer a 454g tin of treacle and 300g of Tate & Lyle Golden Granulated. I have brewed it to 22...
