Got this one on the go yesterday...

These 3 arrived today, my first venture into partial mash, looking to get started on Saturday hopefully with the Timothy Taylor Landlords kit. Any tips or advice more than welcome! :cheers2:

Hi, decided I’m going to make the jump to extract/partial mash kits like the one above, just a couple of things I’m wondering, what would be the best style of thermometer to use, just wondering how easy it would be to read one of the glass ones when the liquid is boiling hot! Also how easy is it...

Been off the scene for a couple of years and got a couple of kits back on the go, keep wondering about these “Partial Mash” clone kits though, I like the sound of these as some of my favourite beers can be cloned, Proper Job, Punk IPA etc, I understand that there’s a little bit more work...

First kits for a couple of years, I’m back on it! Started these today, Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA and a Festival Razorback IPA, going to throw a few extra hops in both just to liven them up a bit more.

Just wondering if anybody has had much experience with these kits, I like the idea as you can choose your malt extract, hop strength, hop varieties and yeast as well as adding other interesting flavour options at the end, looks like they use Muntons Extract, anybody ever brewed any of these and...

Had a break from home brewing for a couple of years now, brewed quite a few kits before and always used my king kegs to store my beer, I’ve just bought a couple more kits to get going again and I’m really tempted to go down the bottle route this time as got fed up with leaky taps and beer not...

Hi, I've been really busy and a bit lazy recently and have had 2 kits sat in the Fv's I brewed them in for over 3 months now! Just wondering if they'll still be ok to transfer over to pressure barrels or if they'll have to be chucked? They're still airtight, one is s bulldog cider and the other...

Hi all, I've just bought 3 of these kits, 2 of the IPAs and a pils, my question is has anyone done these and if so how did you go about adding the hops? I've always dry hopped in the past but these kits have a strange method which I've not used before, I'll insert the instructions below, I like...

Just wondering if anyone has tried mixing kits before, for example I've got 2 Endeavour Pale Ale kits ordered and was thinking of using one of the malt bags from one of these and maybe the second from a Razorback IPA kit, just wondering if anybody's tried mixing kits up before and what the end...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit? It's just come back out as a limited edition, I've ordered myself 2, anyone done this one before? 🍻

Started this last Monday with a Sg of 1054 and by Friday it had slowed right down on the bubbling front and dropped to 1010 so I added the hops, it was still on 1010 today (3 days later) so I was going to transfer it to a PB but at the last minute decided to throw a few Citra hops in for the...

Are there actually any decent taps out there that don't drip?! I've got 4 pressure barrels (3 standard and a King Keg top tap) all with different taps and all of them drip, not massive amounts, don't get me wrong, but enough to be a pain in the ****! It's not all from the barrel/tap seal either...

I've just made a Festival Old Suffolk Strong Ale kit and after I'd added the yeast I realised I hadn't checked the temperature which was showing 26c, it specifies that the yeast should be added when it's below 25c, I am using one of the stick on thermometers though so not sure how accurate it...

I need to get another pressure barrel tomorrow and was just wondering if it was worth paying the extra £18 or so for the King Keg? I quite like the idea of having the tap further up the barrel so I don't have to move it every time I pour a pint but not sure if that reason alone warrants the...

Hi all, I was pouring myself a pint of my first ever brew, Nelson Reserve earlier from my PB and I'm sure a small amount of air got sucked back up through the valve into the PB, as soon as I'd done it I gave it a blast of CO2, have I ruined the lot or will I get away with it? If it is nakkard...

I was in my local home brew shop yesterday asking about sugar to use for priming and can't for the life of me remember if the owner told me it was ok to use granulated beet sugar to prime PVs or if he said not to? I bought a bag of sainsburys granulated sugar which it says is beet but don't want...

Bit of a query about this one, it's my first kit I've brewed, it was in the FV for about 2 weeks with a slight temp variation but nothing too much, it's been sat in the PB now for about 12 days the last few of which have been in the garage where it's been pretty cold overnight, I tried 1/2 a...
