Spotted some wilko kits for half price on their reduced shelf. All in date until end of 2022

I needed an emergency FV yesterday so I popped into Wilko. They had several buckets on the shelf but no lids. When I asked the lady if they were kept elsewhere she first questioned whether they are actually supposed to come with lids. After I convinced her thay did by showing her the page on...

My first AG attempt - Saturday 19th September After a few years doing just kits I decided to have a go at All Grain. Mainly because I spotted a chap down the road from me was getting rid of a load of home brew equipment. I chose to get a recipe pack and settled on the Hopback Summer Lightning...

Hi I've done plenty of extract kits over the last few years and have been generally happy with the results. I'm now looking to try BIAB. I've acquied an electric boiler (33L), chiller and other equipment so I'm good to go. To start, I want to try a simple pre-assembled kit bought online, so...

Hi I batch primed my brew yesterday into a bottling bucket, and planned to bottle yesterday evening. However something came up and I won't be able to bottle until tomorrow (+/- 48hrs after batch priming.) How long is it OK to leave the primed beer in the (sealed) bucket before bottling? Is...

The kids are on at me to put the tree up this weekend. I say it's too early. When do you put your decorations up?

Wondering if any one has heard of this idea or have even been along to one. https://pubcrawlsaturdays.co.uk/ Looks like it's only been going for a few weeks but I believe the idea is that you turn up at a set time at your local Wetherspoons, identify yourself to others who have done the...

I'll be having surgery in a few week to repair an Inguinal Hernia. While I'm keen to get it sorted I'm a little nervous of the surgery and also concerned how long I'll be "Out of Action" for. I understand driving is an issue as having to do an emergency stop risks a tear. Just wondering if...

So, I often use a bit of gravy browning when I make some gravy as I prefer it quite dark. However after all this time, I've only just noticed on the bottle label that it suggests using it for home brewing. See pics below. Has anyone tried? What were the results like? Does it affect the taste?

I was watching an old episode of Bullseye on Challenge TV earier. Reckon it was broadcast in about 1986. One of the prizes on "Bully's Prize Board" was Home Brewing equipment. I can see an Ironmaster kit. Anyone recognise any of the other gear from 30+ years ago?

Has anyone had a go at this kit? it's the one-can kit from Wilko's new "artisan" range. https://www.wilko.com/wilko-limited-edition-beer-kit-15kg/p/0468412 I have a can here and am looking to get it on soon so in a few months time I'll hopefully have a nice beer for the Summer months. Just...

What's happened here then? I've just got this bottle of homebrew from the shed and it's sort of compressed. It's the only one I've seen like that in the batch. All the others have been fine up to now. Is it the cold weather? When I opened it there wasn't much fizz. It's a bit like when you have...

So apparently one of the contestants in this year's bake off is a home brewer. "Terry, 56, from the West Midlands is a retired air steward who will be bringing products from his own microbrewery and allotment to the competition in the hope of them giving him a winning edge."...

Hi Can anyone recommend any Italian beer, that isn't Peroni, that I should look out for on my upcoming trip to Tuscany?

I'm not sure if anyone spotted this clip from 1973. Posted by the BBC Archive Twitter account yesterday https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/1004390256790196230

I'm driving down to France at the weekend for a half term holiday. I'm going to take a few bottles of homebrew with me, but can anyone recommend any French beer that I'm likely to find in you average French supermarket? I tend to drink lighter ales / IPAs etc, so I'm hoping someone can suggest...

My wife often gets those small "single serve" wine bottles from the supermarket - 187ml mostly. Her thinking being if she gets normal sized bottles once she opens one she'll finish it before the evening is out. Getting the small ones means she can just have one whenever. Anyway, has anyone...

"Home Brew Expert" on Radio 2's Popmaster at the moment. "John from Bristol". Anyone know him?

What going on here then? As carefully as I try to pour it my beer is producing a massive head. It's a St. Peter's Golden ale kit. In FV for two weeks. Bottled and carbed with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for two weeks at room temperature and has since been in cold shed for coming on three weeks. Each...
