I bottle, not against aquiring a pressure barrel though

That sounds a great tip. i usually lay cap on top then crimp batch before clean up. im gonna try this way with next beer

Hey Dutto, Looking at the Wilkos Mexican Cerveza kit just now. Think that will be my first 'beer'

I enjoy bottling too, I think i'm a bit weird

I usually do ciders and wines with the odd dabble in sloe gin and bramble brandy etc. I am seriously considering a tentative footstep into beers for Christmas/New Year drinking. I am not a beer drinker myself but hubby, brother in law, Father in law and Dad are. We are in Scotland so Dad...

TY to you both... I think i might try both, the delights of living in Angus at this time of year means there are always berries to be had

I do.. and there could be, i have some worktop to be fitted in it too. The insulation is more for me, its bloody freezing in winter, I used to make glass beads in it but i've sold off my kit as i had no time and december/feb was icy icy icy

I've managed to acquire 2kg of fresh from the farm local berries, does anyone have a fail safe strawberry wine recipe I could borrow, making jam with them is boring and it was originally 3.5 kg so we have eaten loads

My dad used to go like that when drinking Caffreys Irish Ale in the mid 90's. He never did find out why and just avoids it. If it is one specific batch thats giving the issues I would just chuck it. As you make a decent cider just make that instead

I'm 35.. I prefer making wines and ciders to beers. TBH i am not a big beer drinker and neither is my husband. I dream of going commercial one day but its pie in the sky stuff i'm afraid

I only have crown tops... :( best not get any ideas, ive already asked the husband to insulate the summer house for me for winter usage ;-)

looks good. I fancy doing this for the Chrismas season, How long does it 'keep' for? I am assuming not all that long.

Hi Mick, could you please explain what a session beer is please?

Don't worry about brew uni.. I've a masters in food and drink, I can distill quite happily for days and days. I made a mean raspberry and cream vodka for my final project but brewing daunts me. I'm new too, my plans are more modest though, supply husband and father/father in law with drink.

you should its awesome. i have 2 things come damaged under normal amazon then one of their reps was rude on phone i complained they gave me a year of prime for nowt so i use it lots ;-)

Thanks for the welcome.. Joe 90 I'm just outside Dundee, its quite nice here today. I'm now scouting Amazon as i have prime so it means i can get going tomorrow and it be ready for fathers day ;-)

Evening everyone.. I'm sneaking in nervously. I am a newbie pretty much, I have made fruit wines and liquers in the past (sloe gin etc) but I have gave in to requests from my dad and husband to turn my hand to ales and/or beers. quite difficult as I do not like the taste of them but i will...
