I've got the Bulldog four finger jack craft beer kit and there's no priming sugar included although the instructions say to add some. Have they left it out due to personal preference or does it not entirely require sugar adding? Does anyone know how much sugar I would need? I've done the...

So I was looking to move on from kit brewing to AG and didn't realise I would now need a mash tun as well as a big stock pot to boil in :( What does everyone use for mashing in? I've seen those large cooler boxes with a tap on that I guess are custom made or done yourself if you trust your...

Think I am going to try the brewdog dead pony club but I can never seem to find a website that stocks all ingredients at the same time - Can anyone suggest a good online store or perhaps I should check on ebay? I don't want a huge brew so I'm looking to half all of the recipe as it will be my...

I'm eager to try a Brewdog recipe from the DIY Dog sheet but they never say how long the fermentation stage should take. Has anyone done any of these before? There is a short note about not touching the beer for at least 3 days once the yeast has been added - is this because the recipes use...

I'm half way through my Young's APA kit and need something new to try. Right now I am into my craft beers and hoppy west coast ales - Can anyone suggest something similar to the Young's APA? Thanks!

I'm 8 days into my first ever home brew and guess I'll need to add the hops in a few days and then prime a few days later. Is it possible to add the priming sugar to my fv with the brew in it? Or do I need to pour it all into a newly sterilised bucket and then add the sugar, stir and then...

I've been in the fermentation process since Sunday and it looks like my plastic airlock top piece needs to be topped up with some water. Am I ok to do this with some cooled down boiled water? I guess it won't hurt if the air lock top is off for a few seconds? p.s. this is my first brew...

I started my first home brew yesterday and am struggling to keep a nice temp. On the LCD thermometer strip the colours are lit up on 16/18/20 at the moment and it's in the living room but it has to be moved (blame the Mrs!) I've seem some other threads on here about the immersion heaters and...
