I've been brewing for just over a year and I guess my bottles have been reused maybe 10 times and just in the last month I've noticed that when I've bottled my beer and left it in the warm for a couple of weeks there has been a slight leakage from the bottles. Is it the caps that need replacing...

It's one of the premium kits made by Muntons, I think. The wine has fermented and has been stabilised with the finings having been added 5 days ago. The wine smells fine, but it's brown in colour. It looks more like an ale than a white wine. Is it infected and should I just pour it down the drain?

I put it on yesterday and the airlock was bubbling within a couple of hours, but over 24 hours later it's still going at the same rate, a bubble every 30 seconds. All the other wine kits I've done have been bubbling away the day after the ferment starts. Should I be concerned or is this fairly...

I've been using VWP since I started brewing last August but I just got tired of all the rinsing out so I decided to try Chemipro oxi instead. I'll tell you how I've been using it and I would be grateful if someone could confirm that I'm doing it right. Or tell me what I could/should be doing...

The wine has fermented out and I've just racked it off the sediment and put the stabilizer in. Should I add the bentonite now, or should I just forget about it?

I've just bottled a muntons conkerwood ale that stuck at 1022. I tried everything to get it going again but it was going nowhere, so I bottled it. I'm assuming if the yeast couldn't keep going to get the brew down to a lower fg, then it won't get going on the priming sugar in the bottles...

I bottled 21l of white wine 3 days ago and now, after a little taste, SWMBO is saying it's far too dry. What's my best option at this stage? Should I pour it all back into an FV then back sweeten the lot and re-bottle. Or, could I back sweeten the bottles individually?

I bottled my Wherry on the 10th of this month, so it's very nearly had 3 weeks in the bottle. It's the first time I've used PET bottles and I'm sure I added the sugar to the bottles, and I'm pretty sure I tightened the caps on the bottles until I couldn't easily tighten them any more. Now as I...

I bought one of those stick on strip thermometers which I stuck half way up my fv. The 16 deg is showing up blue and the 18 deg is showing up green. :? I also have a more precise old style thermometer which is laid on the fv lid. That one reads 20 deg.
