Thanks for the reply. I think I will have to up the amount I brew to 8 litres for my 10 litre barrel in that case. It probably makes more sense to do that. If I ever do less than that, I'll bottle them as it just seems safer. If I do a 15 litre brew, I'll carry on doing what I did once before...

I have a 10 litre pressure barrel (like the standard white plastic barrels but mini). I've been thinking of doing a small all grain, 5-6 litres something like that, so I can test out some beer ideas, would this be ok in a mini 10L barrel or will there be problems with there being too much space...

Thanks the baron. That sounds ok, I had been wondering whether it would still taste alright. 4% sounds ok, if it comes out at that I would be happy enough. Ok yeah I will keep them in a cooler part of the house. Do you think it was because of the yeast that came with it?

Hello All I just have a couple of questions I haven't been able to find the answer to by Googling. I've done a couple of beer kits and have also done a SMASH all-grain brew, which was great but time consuming. I don't have a lot of time really but I've got some Fuggles hops left over and at...
