All Festival kits I have made so far, were on the hoppy side. And Landlord Finest wasn't an exception. I am a huge hop head so loved it to bits, but I can see why some people would say it was too hoppy. If you are not a fan of a very pronounced hop kick (aftertaste lasts for quite a while too)...

A bit warm isnt it? :) Got a saison on at the moment so putting the heatwave to good use hehe

What temp is it suppose to be fermented? Due to a little mishap with the delivery I have lost the box and instructions.. I take it its some sort of a hybrid yeast that suppose to be fermented at usual 18-20C?

Wait, when did this happen? I need this! https://www.facebook.com/BrewDogOfficial/photos/a.10150332288403644.346309.21251598643/10152848704533644/?type=1&theater

Mine seemed to stuck at 1020 too, but managed to get it down to 1016 at the end. Will be bottling in few days (as it doesnt want to go down any more) and hope for no suprises..

Not cheap, but well worth it in my opinion. Great brew to sip slowly in the evening. Didint expect much from a beer made for tesco, but was pleasantly suprised. Absolutely loved every sip. Give it a go guys!

Hi, I've tried to start Bulldog's Raja's Reward and came across an anomaly. The box was stored in cool and dark place, but when I got to it, it was suspiciously puffed. When I opened it, the plastic bag was extremally puffed to the point that I am affraid it might explode soon. There are...

Hi, I've made Evil Dog a while back, and it has got that fruity taste with upfront hot alcohol notes to it for the first few weeks. It need a loong time to condition, but if you give it time, it will mellow out into a lovely pint. As far as I can remember it needed about 5-6 weeks in bottles to...

I would ditch the carbonation drops too. I have used them when I started brewing for covenience, but the results were very poor. They didnt seem to work with some batches. I know its the drops at fault as I tested it few times, using sugar and drops for same batch of beer (1drop vs 3g sugar)...

keep us updated, sounds delicious

pure space issue in my case. Wish I had some more space for a nice shiny set and make a proper AG brew..

DBG400, they do not compare at all. I have done both and they were completely different brews. I guess it would be up to personal taste to choose between them, but I would choose Razorback any day of the week. On the other hand some of my mates asked my few times to do that 'citrusy one' (they...

I added Saaz hops to my last wherry. Wanted to make hop tea with 35g and with the slip of a hand in goes the whole packet (70g)... Gonna bottle it over the weekend, but pretty sure its gonna be the hoppiest wherry I made hehe

Looks good to me and just to let you know - you are in for a treat!! The razorback is the best kit I've made by miles. Absolutlely love it!! The hops settled at the bottom after about a week in my case. Enjoy..

Just ordered english bitter kit with 1kg enhancer. Used my 5,50 vouchers (11 quid with clubcard booster) so paid only 3,10. happy days! :grin:

Think you are right fellas :hat:. Drinking pace and maybe higher temp (than nearly frozen lager) would be responsible for the extra buzz. Well, gonna test that theory with few pints tonight :drink:

Hi guys, I've noticed that when I feel generous and share my homebrew with my mates, they always ask about the ABV cause they feel tipsy :drunk: more than usual after a commercial can/bottle. They are all used to drinking lagers of about 5% - 6% and are quite suprised when I tell them my beers...

Mine's in FV as we speak. Started a week ago, will bottle in about 2 weeks and let you know how it turned out after it conditioned

I live in a flat and have the same 'problem'. I have started a similar post in the past ( http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=44641 ), and made a little experiment of my own. Have a read through it and stop worrying about cold conditioning - it is great if you can store your beer...

Quite possible it finished fermeting already, but you are better off leaving it for extra week to let the yeast clear up all the nasties. check the gravity next week and 2 days later, if same, bottle it. It should be nice and clear by that time
