This brew started slow then went mad and has now stopped bubbling in the airlock in less than a week.
Im going to leave it the full 14 days before bottling as i want it to clear as much as possible. Im going to bottle using bog standard granulated sugar. Level teaspoon in each bottle.

Happy days
Just started my fourth brew. Made it up with 1 can of the english bitter and about 800grms of youngs enhancer. My plan is a nice session brew as im not keen on too much strength. Heres hoping for the best :)

Hi all
Does anybody have one of these? They are on offer on tesco for 18.50 and i wondered what your thoughts on them are? Ive done 2 brews so far both bottled but am thinking of trying out barreling.

Its been 5 days and it seems to have finished the primary. Fg is 1.010. Will test again in a couple if days to be sure.

Hi all
Im ready to start tinkering with my kits. My question is what do i need to do in order to add flavour to my brews using malt? Ive read to steep 100g of crushed malt at 60-70c then strain and boil and add to the FV. Does that sound about right?
Also wtf do i do with hop pellets...
Great find! Just stocked up with another 3 kits and the youngs brew enhancers! Good time to try coopers english bitter, youngs harvest bitter and the scottish heavy! Cheap as chips!
Just started one of these with 1kg of brewing sugar and about 200g of golden syrup.
Starting OG is 1.054. Fingers crossed! Ive read the reviews in this kit so im hoping for my second brew its asmuch if a success as my wherry!
Hope i havent messed it up with the syrup!
