Thanks to all for your expert knowledge. I knew somebody would be able to offer advice and point me in the right direction acheers.

Hi, This is perhaps a tad bizarre to ask but is there any kits [I don't do mash] that are zero% alcohol ? I ask as my son enjoys his beers but has taken to the no alcohols just now and was hoping I could make him a batch. Kind Regards, TrevTheBev

And they would !!

I use only PET bottles. They are the 1 litre ones from supermarkets that originally came with soda water or tonic water. I have amassed over 100 in the past year and they are absolutely ideal. They can be used loads of times and I'm not bothered if the odd one doesn't come back after I've...

"I don't visit pubs whatsoever". :?::?:

I have been using the 1ltr supermarket pet Soda Water & Tonic Water bottles for past year with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I just use a plastic funnel and place 2 teaspoons of sugar in each before using my wee bottler to fill up with beer from my fermenting vessel. Put cap on and give...

Sorry for late reply... I've been away. I only use 1 litre bottles that had tonic or soda water.

I'll be watching thumb.

I just use simple granulated sugar for priming and never once had any problems. 1 or 2 teaspoons of it seem to give great carbonation and a fine head, no matter what I'm brewing. I did once use 3 teaspoons for a cider and that was perhaps a tad gassy...... But still managed to finish it off.

I only started brewing again in February this year after an absence of 30+ years. Not sure if I was going to get serious again, I wasn't going to spend a lot at first. So I have been using 1 litre PET bottles that my wife had Tonic Water/Soda Water and Sparkling Water in and they have been...

acheers.

:laugh8: :laugh8:..... The tankards a great idea - Either that or a blindfold. The kits I've recently been making are 2 weeks in the fermentation vessel followed by 2 weeks in my boiler cupboard once bottled, then out to the garage for a minimum of 2 weeks. My Australian lager, Cider and Golden...

Wow!!! Thank you all for your expert advice and knowledge. I never knew there was so much to it all. Perhaps I may just have to brew standard kits without the hops as they have been more successful and I don't need to worry so much. My lager is the same as in the photograph above from...
