Thank you! Much appreciated..Will

Apologies for basic question but stupidly put in priming sugar into primary fermentation from Festival Golden Stag Summer Ale kit. Realised only afterwards that this was fir secondary fermentation and this kit did not need sugar at this stage. Is this remediable? And do I just add the same...

Thank you all! I ended up siphoning into old 1.5l bottles with priming sugar.. we'l see! Cheers, Will

Have bottles - and thank you!

Thanks! Would putting it into the same keg likely ruin the beer already there? And would the beer develop OK in the water container, given that it is not pressurised? Sorry for extra questions and grateful for help!

Grateful for quick help! My siphon broke 30 pints into 36 pint transfer. V keen to get last 6 pints our but new siphon arrives tomorrow. Beer was put into keg on Thursday, having had 5 days hop pellets. Can I undo top of keg and siphon in the remaining 6 pints without causing any damage? Sorry...

Hi there - sorry to latch onto this thread but you sound like you know what you are talking about... Two days ago my siphon filter broke 30 pints into a 36 pint 2dary fermentation transfer into keg. I have bought another siphon and plan to carry on the process for the last 6 pints worth left...

Sorry if this is a basic Q - but in making a homebrew kit (Festival - Father Hook's) recently, I discovered in error that if I put 100g of sugar in at start it really improved flavour. So was going to do this again but for some idiotic reason put 500g in by mistake. It is fermenting fine I...

Thank you! To reduce the pressure do I simply turn the cog at the top of the keg? Do I need to turn it all the way? And if I do then can I re-pressurise the barrel afterwards for any beer left inside? I do not necessarily want to bottle all at the same time....thank you!

I am very keen to bottle some of my (delicious tasting) Father Hook's Best Bitter. What is the simplest and cheapest way I can transfer the beer from the pressure barrel to glass bottles (to be capped)? Is there a way to maintain pressure in the bottle without loads of fancy equipment? I have...

Maybe answered my own q but I can use half and half I think? But that leaves me with loads of leftover brewing enhancer? Does it keep??

To add a further question , does anyone know whether I can use beer enhancer AND golden syrup? Or half half?? Not sure and grateful for help! Thank you TerryM for responding so quickly last time!

Btw What is a w/w basis? - is this week by week- ie it will take longer? Thanks!

Thank you!

I have this kit too and am about to start brewing. Do you happen to know whether you can use golden syrup instead of sugar? I had heard of people adding it but not sure if it was instead of sugar or on top of? Also wondered about adding in hops? Any thoughts gratefully received! Thank you...Will
