Hi Guys. I’m fairly sure this has been asked before. How do I keep brews at around 20 degrees C through summer and winter without having to heat garage? What’s the best technique or equipment to use I’ve been banished to the garage by the wife who hates the ‘stink’ fermenting makes in the...

Nice one thanks

Can anyone recommend a good lager kit? Going to be bottling into 1 pint swingtops. Getting ready for summer with a few batches. Any links are welcome as I know you guy in this forum no doubt have done the search for the best deal. I’ve tried Mexican Cerveza from Wilko but wasn’t that...

I’m proud to say I’ve brewed a corker on this one so it’s going in the recipe book. Cab Sav is more like a Merlot and not full bodied like a shop bought one and I’m think I prefer it. Goes well with meat and a bit of spicy food without overwhelming my senses. 12% but the best bit - zero...

Had a St Peters stout on since 8th Dec (birthday) then a wine brew on since 26th Dec (Xmas) - no guesses as to what people bought me! Wherry or Admirals end of this week. Get stocked up - summer is coming! May do a Cervesa too for summer BBQ’s - few batches as the first will undoubtedly be...

No wonder they re-use it!! £33 per litre. Bugger that!

Bruclens from Wilko

Looking forward to this brew - don’t usually add anything as I buy the kits with a lot more juice concentrate. Beaverdale and Cellar are my faves. Any suggestions for some hidden gem kits would be great. Happy new year

It’s the long duration of heat/steam. Bottles have to be clean before a cycle. Then rinse with cleanse/steriliser and clean water for a final swill to make double sure then bottle straight away - so I’ve learned thanks to this group

I can get these from Love Brewing - my go to site for products and equipment. I suggests getting 2 - 1 with cleanser steriliser and 1 with clean water, changing water every 10 bottles or so

Tea? Really?

Went with the dishwasher on a hot setting as they’re new bottles and a 30 min soak in steriliser solution. 40 bottles of stout all done and ready to clear

Full bodied red grape juice 100% so it says on the packaging. Ingredients: Red Grape Juice not from concentrate.
