As above, have a few from a party, are they any good to use with a twin handled capper? Thanks

Got this kit in the Wilko sale, can't find many reviews on this one in the review kits section, was thinking of brewing slightly short and adding dark spraymalt with some sugar, recently did a Youngs Definitive Lager kit with just household sugar and brewed to 23 litres, it tastes ok and came...

Wanting a really good quality and strong kit for Christmas, none of the Christmas style ales seem to tempt me, been looking at the Suffolk Strong Ale from Festival kits. Any ideas? Thanks

Want to order a bottle tree off malt miller and can't decide between 45 or 81 bottles, would the 81 bottle tree be too cumbersome, I guess in reality I would only need a 45 bottle tree, there's only 1.50 in the price, short of storage space also, cheers

Going to be starting this kit off in a week or 2 and going to bottle for chilling purposes, it was a bargain

Brewed a wherry a few weeks ago which has been in PB, since day one it has had loads of head/froth, I used 100 grams priming sugar, I have drunk maybe 10 pints and it still seems to take ages to pull a pint....... Any ideas? Too much sugar? It's in a wilkos PB Thanks

Just been looking on the Malt Miller website at the bottle trees and rinsers. Only just started brewing beer and want to bottle my next brew, I have little bottler, currently shopping for a fermentor with tap and have been looking at bottle tree and rinser. Are they worth the money for...

Want to make a basic cider for pouring over my sloes from sloe gin, I have a spare DJ and a high alcohol yeast, I want to use supermarket cheapo juice, do I need to add any sugar and would I need to rack off like you do on wines, sorry for basic questions, never made cider before. Thanks

Just rang lhbs and they quoted me £25 for FV with tap, sounded dear to me but if I remember right they look half decent and the ones at £15 on the internet look a bit inferior, I know you can fit a tap to a cheap wilko FV but I don't feel confident in doing that, don't want it leaking and...

Been given a really old can of Boots own brand bitter, which makes 21 pints..... Went out of date in 1997... Is it worth a go? Fresh yeast? Nothing to loose?? :hmm:

Going to a pub this afternoon to clear out his bottle bins, not being too fussy as they're free however what would be the best ones to get? Heard Magners are good? Thanks :D

Rung local Pharmacy which doesn't stock it and asked if it was iodine based? and they had it down as an antiseptic, also it came in a pack of 12 and was £64.16? ouch Maybe ought to try elsewhere. I rang Manor Pharmacy. Any ideas? :x

Love Belgian beer and fancy trying out one of the brewferm kits. Are there any that taste like Pauwell Kwak? Love this beer. Thanks :D

Made 2 litres of Sloe Gin which is ready. Want to make Slider again which I have made before. Last time I used Westons scrumpy in one of those small demi john style containers, its about 7.5 % if I remember right but not the cheapest cider. Could I just use some cheap fizz and have a cheaper...

When I do my lager I am going to bottle it. Normally use PB but for chilling purposes am going to bottle it. I normally use Milton Tablets and it would be a pain in the backside to start breaking up a load of Milton tablets and faffing about putting a bit in each then sit them in the sink...

Going to be starting a Youngs ubrew Definitive Lager in a couple of weeks. I plan to bottle for chilling purposes. My FV has no tap. I have a Wherry conditioning in PB at the moment, so if I have to transfer my Lager to PB to attatch little bottler to the tap I would have to buy another PB. Any...

Racked my English Port last weekend after a bit of sediment had accumulated and the airlock had stopped bubbling. I topped up with just under 1/2 pint syrup and it re started slowly and now has totally stopped, not bubbling atall. Not tested it with hydrometer as didn't get the OG. Quite new to...

Going to be starting a Youngs ubrew Definitive Lager in a few weeks and I figure for easy chilling of the Lager in summer months I will have to bottle it instead of the usual PB. I am thinking of getting one of those Youngs cappers for around £10 I think they are with the 2 levers on. Are...

Transferred my first brew - Wherry with 100g priming sugar into my Wilko PB. Put plenty of Vaseline on the threads and seal and screwed into barrel for a tight fit. Held water fine....... Put a tea tray under tap overnight just incase it leaked and I have a few drops of beer in the tray, it...

Just been to my local pharmacy that stocks homebrew equipment and picked a Youngs Definitive Lager kit up for £5.50!! in date till May, what is best to add to the kit as I have never done a one can kit before. Also got a Youngs siphon with tap for £2.99! Happy Days! :lol: 8-)
