Hi all
Am very new to homebrewing as got a kit at christmas and just started my third attempt (stout) just yesterday. Had varying success, 1st was 'geordie lager' which was barely drinkable but the real ale I did next I still am enjoying.
I am just using a fairly basic kit from Wilco, not experimented past the instructions but was wondering something ... the stout I have says to brew for a week in a bucket then transfer to bottle. I haven't the space or resources so have been doing the next stage in a barrel and just taking a 2 litre bottle at a time ... can you do that with stout?
Can find out the make etc if need be just seemed weird the other 2 mentioned bottle or barrel but stout just says bottle.
Also if I do have to do bottles, will 2 litre ones be fine? Thinking of getting a load of cheap water from tesco, emptying and sterilising them ready.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if this is all a bit basic.
Regards
