Brewed this short to 36 pints with 1kg BKE and 200 grams demerara sugar. O.g 1048 F.g 1014 Just had a quality control taster of this, only been in the keg 4 weeks but developing into a very drinkable pint If i was to do it again i would probably add more malt and less sugar :cheers:

After more bleating from Alex Salmond about Scotland being better off being independant, i think we should call his bluff stop all their subsidies and cut them loose! What do people think?

Can someone please help settle a disagreement i'm having with a friend. He drives a small peugeot van and has recently bought a trailer i think the max laden weight of it is less than 1500kg, he is only 21 so only been driving for 4 years. I'm convinced that they changed the law regarding towing...

Never done a lager kit before but now the colder weather is here, i'm thinking of getting one on the go. Can any one recommend a lager kit that comes with lager yeast rather than ale yeast? Thanks :cheers:

Hi, i only do ales but have been given a wine kit as a present :thumb: It's a Youngs Definitive medium red 6 bottle kit, as the process is a bit different i'm a little unsure about when you take an sg reading is it before adding the yeast like beer making or is it later when i've topped up to...

Where i live we're on a well for our water supply. I've never had any problems with my brews but was wondering if anyone else uses well water? Is there any problems that can arise from using it and do they treat it with anything? :cheers:

Sorry to the moderators if this is in the wrong place, i'd made over 130 posts by the other day but all of a sudden it's showing only 60 or so. Why have over half my posts disappeared?

I have brewed mainly 2 can kits since i started brewing at christmas, and have always done them as instructed ie nothing added. Increasingly feeling the need to tinker :roll: Have just bought a Milestone Lions Pride to brew at the weekend, i have 500grms of light spray malt and brewing sugar...
