Hi all - Tinlife here! Just bought a couple of these wilko IPA kits that are being sold off cheap because they’re reaching near end of shelf life. Gonna brew one up next week and was looking at what I have in the freezer to perhaps bung in there to spice things up. Got 25g of Amarillo pellets...

awesome! Thanks for the info.

No, I think it's very simple. I love the drink and want to make my own. I'm just a bit worried about making some kind of sludge! ha!

Hi all - tinlife here! Has anyone attempted to make Japanese Umeshu in the UK using fruit other than ume, like in this example: Umeshu - Japanese 'Plum' Wine - with ume OR green apricots (diversivore.com) Any help much appreciated. Tinlife

Thanks for all the advice. I think I'm more interested to see how the finings work than anything else. Just so I have the experience. This is the third time I've brewed the Geordie lager and it has been clear the first two just with normal waiting. I'll still be leaving it for a bit, just wanted...

Brilliant, thank you. Should I add the finings at the cold crash point?

Hi everyone, Tinlife here! A quick question if you good people don't mind. I recently bought a sachet of Wilko beer finings and am keen to see if it makes a difference. My questions though are: 1. I bottle condition/carbonate, will the finings stop the carbonation process by stripping out the...

Yeah, I suppose that's the big issue - tap from it and I can't have a rolling stock. Fella in this vid taps straight off it (at around 50second in)

I struggle to keep mine brews for a fortnight unless I'm ill!

Hi Everyone, Tinlife here! I know there's already a few posts on the Fermzilla but looking through them I'm not sure if anyone has answered my question: Has anyone any experience of using the fermzilla to serve directly from? I don't have a keg and like the idea of brewing in and serving from...

Just poured one out. Apart from being too young, the carbonation is fine. No worries at all. Thanks! Can I ask, does the indoor conditioning stage do anything more than do the carbonation work or is there another purpose? I'm asking because since they're well carbed I wondered if I can move to...

Tinlife here - a brief update: All bottles are now under control, it would seem. The bottles have firmed up again but not quite to the same extent. I cracked one outside to see what happens and it just fizzes nicely but doesn't gush. So, the bomb situation seems to have been avoided - thanks...

Do you think if I keep releasing the pressure there's a point at which I can stop releasing it or will I be doing this daily until enough time has passed for me to stick them in the shed in what I think is a conditioned state?

Since posting and getting all of your very helpful responses I have opened every bottle 4 times. Why 4? Because I wasn't sure how long to open them for so each time was longer than the last until I found a level which seemed to flatten the fizz somewhat. Each time I left the cap on and just...

I had a starting gravity of 1.042 and ended at 1.008.
