I bought a refurbished corny keg so assumed it was all ready to go. Sterlilised it and filled with a brew and priming sugar and left it to condition (this is my normal process rather than force carbing). Left it for several weeks and tonight I decide to pull some beer off and taste the brew. As...

This may have been covered before, I did do a search and couldn't find anything. I am doing a brew for New years eve to take to a party. it's a bit last minute and due to other brews I don't have a spare corny. I could put it in a pb but it may have a leak if it does I am considering putting it...

I have lager sat in a pressure barrel it's been in the barrel for a couple of months. I could see something on top through the barrel and opened the cap today. As you can see it's got some mould on top. Now I took a sample of this before opening the top to see what it tasted like and although...

I was in my LHBS the other day wanting a kit that was very hoppy. They suggested the Festival Razor back IPA. I have done a few of the festival kits and all have been good. Anyway while discussing the best kit for the style I wanted the shop guy suggested that for a hoppier beer, instead f...

Hi, Does anybody know if there is a Trade Association for Homebrew Shops in the UK? I would like to get some figures for Homebrew Sales figures and the general trends in the industry. I know that there are shops closing and a lot of businesses are online, however I think there is still a...

I got a Cony keg setup for Christmas and have made a Festvial kit which is now in the Keg. I am having a few issues with the CO2 regulator and these could be down to me but I am concerned it may be faulty. The kit was brewed and racked it into the keg and added the priming sugar that came with...

Hi guys. I am making a bottling bucket with a bottling wand. My question relates to how long to leave in the bottling bucket after priming, before you bottle the beer? Gut instinct says too long and and you loose some of the co from secondary fermentation but I need to leave it long enough for...

I called in at a home brew shop to pick up a kit and ws talking to the owner. She mentioned that Wilko's are now sourcing their own malt for their own brand kits and no longer using Muntons and the quality was not necessarily as good as previously. No idea if this is correct or not but I...

Not sure if this has been covered before (I did a search but couldn't seem to find anything) I have started brewing again after a lay off of 15 years or so. I did to ag back in the day usually using a recipe from a book rather than making my own up. At the moment I am making kits but want to...

I barrled a woodford wherry last week that had been fermenting for about four weeks (I did it before my holiday and decided to leave in secondary fv rather than rush it). Can't remember the fg as I am in work so don't have my notes but it certainly wasn't high. Added priming sugar a per...

Came back to home brewing after a lay off, with a Festival kit which is now in the bottle and maturing. I decided to do a Wooford Wherry kit thinking it would have finished fermenting before I go on holiday. The kit was started 10 days ago and was slow to start fermenting but then got a nice...

Hi, Come winter I really like JW Lees Plum Pudding beer. Having just re-started home brewing after a long lay off I am not up to date with all the kits available so does anyone have any recommendations for a good winter ale with a taste of Christmas pudding? Plan on doing one in September and...

I was in my local home brewshop yesterday, while getting some other stuff I as admiring the grainfather but mentioned the price put me off. I was shown a leaflet for these which are currently on pre-order to arrive in August. Has anyone pre-ordered one and what are people's thoughts? BTW I am...

I am returning to home brewing after about 20 years. I have a batch of Festival Golden Stag fermenting away at the moment. My question relates to whether it is safe to re-use commercial beer bottles such the Banks Bitter sold in Aldi as an example. I seem to recall that back in the day this was...
