Thanks for all the replies. I am thinking of going over to corny kegs so am reluctant to get to carried away with too many spares although I think I will have to sort out the tap on this one as I have another brew ready to barrel. I have not re-primed it, how much sugar should I be adding to do...

Hi all, I am hoping for a little advice although I fear it may be too late for this brew. I have an ipa kit brew that I have barreled. All was going well for a while until it started to leak from the tap. I guess through pressure build up. I panicked and transfered it into a spare barrel. The...

I'm glad to see Brad Ray is coping well with the step up to suerbikes, looks like he will be one to watch.

This past week i have mostly been drinking the coopers ale thats now ready, probably could do with a little more time to rest but still perfectly drinkable ! I have switched the airlock to one of the conventional ones and it would appear there is some action in the mead although inly very...

Stupidly i have not taken a reading

Yes, that's them. I will have to look next time i'm there. If they do have potassiaum on them is there any way it can be recovered ?

Thanks again. The airlock is a boots one, a sort of two part thing but it is properly sealed. There is nothing happening in the liquid that i can see, no bubbles or movement of any sort. The yeast is a mead yeast from crossmyloof brewery, the previous one was a youngs sparkling wine and the...

Well that did'nt work ! I left it for about a week just in case but no joy. This morning I transfered it to a bucket and added another yeast and a teaspoon of nutrient. I left it for about an hour then gave it a good stir. A few hours later it went back into the demijon and is now under cover on...

Thanks for the advice, it is in a demijon. I have poured it into a bucket and then back into the demijon, will keep an eye on it and post the results. Fingers crossed !

Hi, thanks for the reply. I also have two straight honey meads on the go and both are bubbling away, the blackberry one is just sitting there doing nothing. I gave it a shake earlier and now theres not even the light foam that was there before. Any advice on where to go next will be greatly...

Yes, Adrian is doing well but to be fair so is Conrad. Have you ever seen him race ? The sidecars are absolutely unbelievable on the road circuits, you really have to see them to believe it.

Ah, the easy way to get over the 50cc 30mph legislation thing. I went for a vespa, looked like a moped, rode like a wheelbarrow and terminally damaged the school running track !

Thanks, i hope i can show a little more patience and use the forum to do a little more research before just rushing in like usual and then having to use it for help with whatever i've done wrong !

As much as i like all the track stuff,and am glad its back on again (well done 5 for showing motogp), its the road racing i am really looking forward to.

i'm keeping an eye on Brad Rae in BSB, he's local to me and looks like he is making the step up to superbikes pretty well.

Hi all, last weekend i had a go at a blackberry mead. I added about 3.5lb of blackberries to a fermenter and crushed them a bit. Boiled 4ltr water and added about 3lb of cheap supermarket honey. Once cooled a little i added a clove and a teaspoon of allspice to the water with the peel from an...

Hello from the Romney Marsh in Kent. I am new to this homebrew lark having recently been given a coopers real ale kit. So far i have started the coopers kit, a basic mead, a rhubarb wine and a blackberry mead (metheglin ?) Hopefully with a bit of advice i will be attempting many more.
