Well got this down to 1015 and kegged tonight. Trial jar tasted very nice indeed. Back into fridge to condition at 22 for a week now then its the garage floor till xmas. Hopefully should be a cracking brew.

Well, got this one as it had been reduced from £30 to £20 in LHBS. Looks a good kit, big bladder full of fresh wort with a bag of Saaz hop pellets included. It also includes a coopers yeast which I think is acually an ale yeast, although could be wrong. Made it up as per instructions and got...

Anybody get round to doing the Brewers spring pilsner? Iv'e just got one on and absolutely no krausen after 48 hours :wha: Big thick layer of **** at the bottom of the FV though, but i'm thinking that the Bentonite the kit said to add had just caused all the yeast to drop out? Followed all...

Well tried this last night, first pint from the Keg and have to say out of the 9 brews i have done so far it is easily the best (even better than the wherry). Dont know how i have done it but it was crystal clear after a week in Keg and Bottles and has a fantastic creamy head which lasts all...

High hopes for this one....Temp was perfectly stable at 21 C for 16 days. Kegged most of it and bottled a few and its crystal clear already. Didnt bother trying it as due the crappy head cold i wouldnt have tasted anything anyway. Hopefully i'll be able to leave this alone for a while as well...

OK.....so got my fridge......FREE from guy down road. Got my STC 1000 and a 45W greenhouse heater. Going to tackle this project at the weekend and then somehow fire the temps readings into a graph on my Raspberry Pi PC and try to control them over Internet ( just for the hell of it). Will...

Got one of these on yesterday. Noticed in instructions that it only asks for 500g DME? I did it with 400g light DME and 500g Dextrose as thats what i had lying around and ive always added at least a kilo of other fermentables to a 1 can kit. Got an OG of 1040. Do you reckon this will affect...

Just got my first Sundew on and bubbling away nicely. Did anyone ever get round to hopping this, as ive got a bag of cascade to try?

Ok. So two weeks bottled and it was time to try a sampler :D Gorgeous... and head still there on last mouthful! Definately doing again!

Well after 16 days mine got down to 1012 so ive kegged most of it and bottled 8 bottles. Must admit it does taste pretty good already so will have to try especially hard to leave it till Xmas :grin:

Yeah thinking of a possible re-pitch too. Going to leave it till next Monday; that will have been 16 days then and if still stuck at 1018 then will wack in another packet and leave for a bit longer! On the plus side it smells gorgeous :)

OK........so my third brew and after reading all good things on here decided to give it a whirl. Made up the kit with 500g of DME, 500g Dextrose and a tin of treacle (494g). Then like a fool forgot to take a OG :roll: Anyway pitched yeast at 22C and it has been at that constantly for 9...

Done a Wherry myself for my 1st brew which has been kegged for a week now. Going to move out into the garage this weekend to cool down for a couple of weeks before I taste it so i'll be interested to compare. Got a coopers lager on the go now which will have been in FV for a week on Saturday...

Hi All Simon here....Well yet another new user who has now got the homebrew bug! Got my first brew on, a Woodforde Wherry and very much looking forward to a long and happy relationship with my local homebrew shop! Apologies in advance if I post any stupid questions that have been answered many...
