I made a wheat beer kit with half Dried WME and half sugar. It frothed over when I made it but I cleaned up and it seamed ok. I left it in the FV for 2 weeks or so and just come to bottle it. I've racked it into another FV and I'm about to bottle. It looks very dark and has the smell of almost...

I made a chocolate stout using the coopers stout kit, sugar and a tub of Bournville coco powder. It's been in the bottle for 6 weeks or so and had developed almost a white crust round the top of the liquid against the side of the bottle. I've tried lightly shaking to dislodge it but it just...

Well as the title says. I have been putting off bottling 3 brews for a good 4 weeks now. I have racked them once after first fermentation and there is alitttle sediment on the bottom of each of them. My question is are they ok to be left as they are or do I need to pull my finger out and bottle...

I recently made my best TC to date. It was as simple as a DJ full of princes apple juice with a cinnamon stick dropped in it and left for the entire duration of the fermentation. I racked it into another DJ without the cinnamon stick and left it for a month or so. Primed it with 1 tspn sugar...
