Thanks for the replies, great help, What size wort chiller is OK for 50l batches? GS :drink:

Hi Just been made redundant after a lot of years with my company so there is some spare cash to spend !!! I have been brewing kits for the past year or so and been quite successful with the results. I am looking to start AG and have been looking at the HBB site (Mr Lard). I want to do 50l...

Used these to wire mine http://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-li ... cat5260002 real easy to use. Greenland Stinger :drink:

I bottled mine on 24/8/13 and it started out really grapefruity. Tried one over the weekend and it is now VERY bitter. Very disappointed with this kit as I was expecting a good brew. Greenland Stinger :drink:

Why I am interested as I usually keep my bottles warm for 2 weeks. Greenland Stinger :drink:

I have done 2 of the Wherry kits so far, first one as per instructions, second one dry hopped, day 8 of 14 days, with 50g of EKG and the difference was quite marked. The second kit had much more flavour and obviously more aroma an all round nicer pint. Third one on the go now and I will dry hop...

I had exactly the same with the 2 Wherry kits I have done. Not much action for 24/36 hours then not much of a Krausen either. Both kits went down to 1008/9 after 14 days so perhaps its just the way the kit works. GS :drink:

Is it possible this kit is over hopped? They provide 75g in total of Simcoe, Centennial and Summit. My finished product has a very strong taste of grapefruit, although this has mellowed slightly after a while. I am still quite new to home brewing but is 75 grams in a kit a lot? Cheers GS :drink:

AFAIK yes it will but not by very much.0.1% perhaps GS :drink:

Tried 1 over the weekend and the grapefruit taste is still there but I must say I think it has reduced a bit. Its not unpleasant but still a bit to fruity for me. The wait continues, my Wherry stock is getting low!!! GS :drink:

See my post earlier in this thread. Very strong taste of grapefruit. GS :drink:

Had this bottled for 10 days so I thought I'd try one! Tasted very grapefruity. Has anyone else had this and will it mellow out at all. Its a bit too fruity for my taste. GS :drink:

I am still very much a beginner but I think its the same with any new hobby you start. Your unsure what to do what to expect but with a helpful forum you always end up going in the right direction. Give it 3 years and you will wonder what you were worrying about! What did people do before the...

I brewed this and added 250gms light spray malt 50 gms brewing sugar, just what I had left. Brewed short to 21 litres and dry hopped with 30 gms EKG. Its been in the bottle for just over 3 weeks and its a great pint. I bought a bottle last week just to try the real thing and I can honestly say...

1032 seems quite low, did you stir well when you made it up? GS :drink:
