Hi, Does anyone use a yeast nutrient in their beer wort? I've been reading a bit about yeast nutrients and wondered whether it might help in preventing stuck fermentations? :wha: Cheers Erl. :drink:

I've been brewing for just over a year now, mainly kits and extract, but I've just bought myself another FV/bottling bucket so want to give batch priming a go. I've got a Muntons premium gold smugglers ale kit on at the moment that'll be ready to bottle in a few days but I'm not sure how much...

Hi, I'm pretty new to home brewing (started my first kit Nov 2011) but love it! I've just finished my 3rd kit; first was Muntons Connoisseur IPA, which is a very nice drop although I feel could do with being a bit more hoppy and maybe a bit stronger. Second was a Mangrove Jacks British series...
