Evening all, I've just moved my current brew from the FV to a PB and wont be brewing another kit for a few weeks, I was wondering if it was safe to use a quarter cap of bleach in my 40 pint bucket with my filters and paddles and everything in it to kill any unwanteds off, last time I left kit...

Heya! I have a festival beer kit that will be coming up to the hop stage in the next week, the destruction sheet says to hop and leave them in there for 5 days, from what I think I've heard that's quite a long time and may give off flavours. Does this seem slightly excessive? I'm sure I read...

Hiya, We started a festival beer kit on the 6th/7th (late in the evening) we've had it sat in the living room as that is currently the coolest part of the house, it has started to ferment but very -very- slowly, wondering if this is normal in the heat we've recently had, it got up to 26-27c a...

I racked off yesterday and made a mistake of allowing air to get into the beer (the siphon was splashing into the 2nd FV) in fear that I may have oxidised the beer, I added 4 campden tablets, the destructions said 1 per gallon but I thought 5 would be a bit overkill. At the moment all...

Heya! I'm fairly new here but wondered what peoples opinion on using tap water for your wort was, is it a no-no? Does anyone use bottled water or filter their water first? I only ask as I've started an Evil Dog IPA kit and followed the instructions using cold tap water, but now that I think...
