Magic Rocks American IPA for me please, sounds tasty ;)

Sorry to sound like a newb, is the hop tea hot water and the hops, do yo not waite forthe standard 10 days for a kit

i sanitized and added wilkos IPA kit and hot water then topped up with cold water, left to cool with the lid on and then added yeast and put into the fridge temp stayed at 65f, og was 1.0430 and ended at 1.0080 and was frementing for 13 days, ABV is showing as 4.59%, i only noticed the smell...

yes the temp stayed at constant temp i have an inkbird setting the temp, the tilt was calibrated and sanitized

Thanks, so taking it back to basics, the only thing i think i didnt sanitise is the hops edition packet i added, the sanitizer is not that old and the VWP is pretty new, i left all equipment soaking in VWP before rinsing and sanitizing

the first time was a wilko IPA kit and the second time was the mangrove jacks Pink Grapefruit kit

Thanks, I have only left it about 10 days since bottling, I think I have a bit to go :)

I'm a complete newbie so I didn't take either of these :)

Hi everyone, I have recently just bottled up my first ever brew, it was a northern brewer amber ale. I followed all instructions and kept it fermenting at about 20 degrees in a darkened room, bottled it after 2 weeks and left it to bottle condition. I though I would try one last night, so I put...

Thanks everyone 😊

Hi Everyone, Just wondering what everyone uses to store their bottles in during the bottle conditioning stage, I have been using the box the bottles came in but it's starting to fall to pieces. Ta Phil
