I’m in athumb..

I’ll need to get myself a brewing book to read in between times

Thanks again Terry. I’m going to leave it a few more days then and continue at the weekend. Hopefully it will clean itself up more before then. I need to be more patient!

I've attached a few photos of both water and the brew at 20C and my hydrometer readings. Appreciate they aren't the best photos, not the easiest thing to picture. I'd maybe the say the brew is just below 1000 now but not by very much? Around 1020? The kit is a 4% brew and the readings would come...

Thanks for the detailed feedback Crow, very useful and much appreciated! I think for now I will transfer to a 2nd bucket for bottling. Mainly because I bought the equipment and would like to give it a trial run at least :laugh8: I've just taken a trial jar from the bucket tonight for a...

Just an update on this. I managed to pick up 2 today in my local. Though they weren't in the alcohol section but closer to the 'middle aisle' section if anyone is looking.

Hi guys, I started my first brew this week and thought I'd post it here, along with a few questions I have. As a beginner i'm using an out of the box kit - extract I believe these are? (I did say I was a beginner :confused.: haha) The kit is from Wilko - Artisan Brewing First Gold IPA. I'm...

Welcome to the forum! Newbie myself also on my 2nd brew and trying not to worry too much and enjoy the process. I did see this quote on Reddit which I try to keep in mind anytime I feel I'm worrying or overthinking it: As long as you can learn from any errors and adapt for the next brew you'll...

This looks interesting. Didn't think Cov would have a club like this tbh. Haven't been into Fargos yet seems a decent place.

Hi Leroy! Very jealous of the sound of your brew shed! All I have to work with is my rented flat and a cold basement for now lol. As strickers said, we’ll soon be able to form our own club! acheers. Welcome and happy brewing!

Good to know, might get some equipment I’ve been meaning to buy on sale.

I’ve just noticed on the Lidl app that this keg is available from Friday 29/11/2019 in their ‘Black Friday food’ section. Gonna try my local on Friday to see if I can pick up 1 (or 2) for Xmas.

Near the train station, CV1. Pretty central. Only moved here in September from Belfast. Are you in Cov also?

It’s good to see this book listed here. Noticed it on amazon with good reviews and seeing it here reassured me. It’s been added to the wish list!

I’m using these 550ml swing top bottles. They are good quality and I didn’t seem to find much cheaper than this when I was looking. https://brew2bottle.co.uk/collections/bottles-bottling/products/15-x-500ml-brew2bottle-glass-amber-swing-top-beer-bottles That’s a good idea. Would never have...
