Thanks guys. Apologies for the slow reply but my daughter hasn't been too well. A lot of great information from all of you I really appreciate it and I have certainly taken it on board. Happy brewing everyone

Around 16-18 Its just the settled sediment that is causing the issues, clarity is fine, until the end of the pour

The wherry has been in the bottles for 16 days. I used s-04

Yeah i know. The sediment in the stout stays in the bottom. Whereas the wherry comes away when poured, kind of flaky

Bloody sediment!! I currently have 2 different brews in bottles, a wherry and a stout. Both have sediment in the bottom of the bottles, not a massive problem with the stout as it stays there. But it is really spoiling the wherry. When i pour it i get a load of **** in the glass. Anything i can...

Never heard of the stuff??

Good idea!! I heard chocolate goes well with chillie, chocolate chillie stout sounds decent!

Went to wilco today and picked up a can of coopers stout in the bargain bin (£5!!) and im up for trying something different. Ive got a stout fermenting with some muscovado sugar. I know vanilla is a good shout, but i wanted to try something completely mad! Any ideas?

Sounds like im on to a winner. I was planning on brewing slightly short, around 20l. I read coffee is a good shout, vanilla sounds interesting too!! Will using. Rown sugar to prime be a good or pointless exersize?

Doing my 2nd brew today, everyone raves about coopers stout so im giving that a bash, brew enhancer 2 and a tin or treacle or molasses! Thoughts?

No i didnt, but what would you suggest?

Im going to start a woodfordes wherry, with s-04 yeast as ive heard that the supplied one stalls. Everything i have read about it is very positive!!

Ok thanks for the advice everyone, i'll leave it where it is for a few days, then put it in the fridge for a couple weeks, then cross my fingers. Im certainly not giving up, going to start my 2nd one on wednesday. Cheers!

Its a coopers cerveza kit with brewing sugar, seemed simple enough to start with. I tried it before i transferred it and it seemed ok, no vinegar taste. I tried it the about a week ago and it wasnt there, however i watched the footy the other day and had a pint and noticed it then. Nothing has...

Yeah it was just a kit not going to be too adventurous just yet. I sanitised everything that came in to contact with it, or so i thought. I transferred it straight from the fv to the pressure barrell. So would you suggest popping it in the fridge for a while, see if it gets better? Im not put...

Hi all, thanks for taking time to have a look at a complete newbies issues! My beer is in a pressure barrel for just shy of two weeks, that is completely leak free, my beer comes out with a good head, and under pressure, its nice and clear, but it tastes rubbish! i would say its a bit...

Hi all i am on my first brew, up to carbonating my brew in a keg, started the carbonation about 4 days ago and it was airtight. Now a have a gentle seap from my s30 valve at small hole on the side of the valve, im hoping this is a pressure releast mechanism, anyone?

Its my first brew and im just finding my feet a bit. I had it as i popped to the shop and had some coppers in my pocket and thought why not! But thanks for your advice, its in the keg carbonating nicely fining free.

Isinglass based fining. I see no reason not to put it in?

Yeah ive just checked for leaks and its fine. Also at what point should i put a co2 cart in? I assume its once the level starts to drop to keep the oxygen out and not as soon as i keg it?
