West coast IPA please

Just pored my first glass of admiral reserve two days after bottling!! Couldn’t wait lol, bloody awesome pint, now here’s one for the experts out there, considering Im only two days in from bottling I’m assuming this is going to get stronger with more time? So as it’s originally a 32pint kit...

Hi all, I’m loving this stuff, and thinking this will do me for rest of my days lol, SO is there a cheaper way to make it? I’m no brewing expert so be gentle, I only ever buy kits from Wilco etc, but it’s got me thinking you must be able to buy the malt ( if you know exactly what malt it is) so...

Let us know what it’s like, and did you add the hops first or on the fourth day?

Thanks very much for your offer, unfortunately I live down near selsey on the coast so a little too far, but thanks again thumb.

Any problem with using clear then? Also I’m using plastic at the moment but wondering how long it’ll be before the plastic taints the beer?

Hi guys, where’s the cheapest place to buy swing top bottles? Thanks

Hi guys, just bought a MYO ipa kit and the instructions are saying dextrose sugar, is it really necessary or can I use granulated sugar?

Woodfordes wherry question, hi guys brewed a couple of wherry skits now and been well satisfied with the results, one thing I’d like to improve on though is doing away with the fizz, at moment I’m adding half a teaspoon of sugar to the bottle when bottling, I know this is going to sound silly...
