Hi all I've made the wilko wheat beer 2 can kits a few times and enjoyed it. They now only sell a 1 can kit. Has anybody who made the 2 can kit made the 1 can kit. What are your thoughts. Is there another 2 can wheat beer kits you would recommend? Cheers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi all I'm a kit brewer I've made about 20 kits. Some have been nicer than other but not had a bad one yet. Touch wood. I'm quite happy knocking up a kit in 30 mins bottling 2 weeks later. It is so easy, I don't see the need to move on. But there is this nagging feeling that I don't know if it...

Hi all I'm looking for an idiots guide with shopping list for a cornelius setup. Im having a problem with searches. It's for a keezer. Could somebody point me in the right direction. Cheers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi all I haven't been brewing very long but I've made a few kits. I've found what I think is my perfect beer. I'd be interested on people's thoughts. Have you found your beer? Or are you seeking something better? Always looking to improve it. Do you think you will ever only make your perfect...

Hi all After a bit of reading I thought I'd make a farmhouse beer. I wanted a refreshing cloudy straw coloured beer with a nice thick white head. I wanted it to be a spicy floral dry beer. So this is what I came up with. Wilko pilsner 1 can Light LME 1 can Wilko wheat beer half a can Danstar...

Hi all Has anybody had any experience with these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232192565943 There are a few different makes available so if you could recommend one that would be great. I could see this being far more acceptable on the kitchen work top but no point if they aren't up to much. Sent...

I made this about 6 weeks ago and bottled it over 3 weeks ago. It's a very nice pale ale. I think a nicer pint than their golden stag. Hopefully will be at its best in time for Xmas. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I bottled this today and couldn't believe how good this tasted. Good colour nice aroma and smooth taste. Definitely going to be an easy drink.

Normally I try and keep the sediment in the bottle but yesterday I chilled a couple of bottles in the freezer and left them in too long. When I poured them the icy slush disturbed the sediment and went in the glass. To my surprise it improved the beer. I will be disturbing the sediment every...

Started this yesterday 500g light DME and 500g sugar. I'm not going to do anything to it just to see how it turns out. Will let you know how I get on. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

Hi all I made some turbo cider in a dj about 2 weeks ago. 4.5 litres of lidl apple juice and a splash from my mangrove jack starter bottle. It fermented quick and on Monday I put 25g of citra hops in and tomorrow it's getting bottled. Might have put too much hops. Can't wait to taste.

Hi all I popped to wilko today for some bottles and the wheat beer was down from £23 to £10. So bought all 3. I'd like to dry hop these but don't know which ones to use. I really like festival golden stag so does anybody know which hops they use. Or have any other suggestions of what...

This is probably a silly question but when does cider become apple wine? Is it simple higher abv or is there more to it?

I have a bin of tc nearly finished and want to flavour it strawberry and lime. I'm planning on using lowics strawberry but not seen a lime one. So I'm going to use a lime cordial, boil it and add when priming. Can anybody suggest how much lime to use? Going to use 2 bottles of strawberry that...

Hi all What is the highest ABV you have fermented and how did you get it?

I made this as my second kit. Brewed 28/5 and bottled 11/6. I'd tried it after a few days and a couple of weeks it was ok. Tried it today it's really good. Wish I hadn't drank so much of it before. It suits sunny afternoon's in the garden. Will be on my next shopping list.

Hi all I made my first turbo cider with wilkos wine yeast and it turned out really good. It surprised me how nice it was. So now I'm going to make a 23 litre batch. Will mangrove jacks cider yeast be better than wine yeast or just different? The recipe will be 18 litres lidl apple juice 4...

Hi all I used the recipe calculator to work out fermentables for my Xmas beer. I was aiming for an og of 1080 ish so I'd have a 8% ish beer. Checked og once made and it's 1110. Do I need to dilute this or will it ferment ok? The yeast is WLP545. Cheers.👍

Hi all I've convinced myself I should make my own xmas beer but having only made a few kits and a couple of tc's I need some advice. This is my plan so far 2 tins of dark LME some mulled wine flavouring Candied sugar So the questions are What yeast should I use? What hops would suit this...
