Hi Can anyone recommend a beer kit i can adapt to taste like Bombardier Satanic Mills? I tried it for the first time recently and now absolutlely love it. Its like a Porter with a VERY smooth taste to it. I've drunk a few bottles of it and would really like to adapt a kit brew to something...

if its any help i was in a shop called Wing Yip the other week and they have a really big selection of massive cooking pots... 15l would be the middle size! They are online if you google them but they've quite a few shops around the country i think. I can't remember how much but i do know they...

Thanks Wez!

Hi Last Sunday i started my second kit brew (Woodforde Nelson). On Friday the fg was 1016 and today its still 1016. The instructions say get to 1014 before kegging. However, is 7 days sufficient? If i don't keg today then it will need to wait another 7 - i think that might be too long. There...

thanks for that. At the moment i only use a cheapie keg but i prefer cold beer and i can't chill a 5g keg. I guess this isn't really what i need. I woudn't know how to force carbonate as i though it would work like the bulb gas you can plug into the cap of a normal keg. Cheers though

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CORNELIUS-DEJONG- ... 240%3A1318 what do people think of this?? I like the idea of something small so i can fit it into a fridge. This is the first time i've seen something like this and wondered what general feeling is. Thanks posting.php?mode=post&f=23#

Parva, no worries, thanks mate should have seen the mess i got in!! i still wonder what the temp would have been. vossy1, i'm in Kent and don't know any shops around apart from Wilko's. There are 2 boots but they don't sell homebrew anymore. edit Just found this site.... seems to be pretty...

cheers for the pointers! Will check out the books now

nice one! thanks for the advice. I better drink the ales i bought so i could re-use the bottles! i would like to get a book actually, but there are quite a few out there... any you would suggest? I don't anticipate brewing from complete scrach for a while yet until i get the basics right...

do you think i should bottle now? Sorry but i'm totally green here. in the instructions it says to aim for 1004, do you think after a week mines as close as it will get? Whats the longest you would expect this stage to take? What would you do? (bottle now, or leave another week?)

Cheers Bru would the Youngs beer enhancer you can buy in Wilkinsons (thats half sugar half spray malt) be as good as the light malt you said about? Or does the light malt completely replace the sugar?

Thanks for the reply... i bought a thermoter today. Cleaned it. Sterilized it. Dropped it into the fv expecting it to bob back up but it sunk!! I thought it would be like the hydrometer. Anyway, I've left it there as didn't think it was worth retrieving. I already made a mess trying to...

Hi There This is my [first] brew but i think its gone horribly wrong. Its been in the fermenting bucket for 6 days now. I followed all the advice i could find on the web and also the instructions that came with the kit. The brew looks more or less ok, judging by the pictures i've seen online...
