    have I left it too late?

    I had great intentions after brewing last year to make plenty of beer this year but once again time has run away and I haven't brewed since October 17 I really wanted to get a couple of all grain brews done for Christmas, my plan was to brew and put in the king kegs for friends and family to...

    Keg and Bottle

    I’m far from an expert, in fact the more I brew the more i realise I don’t know much at all, however, in my limited experience all the beers I’ve made I have bottled and keged. The only differences I can see is the keg tastes nicer and tend to be less fizzy but the bottles...

    King Keg problem

    Gas comes out of the tap and the little beer that did dribble out was carbonated. I think I'm going to have to take the lid off, trouble will be how long will the beer last once air gets to it? Most people are over boxing day and new years eve - maybe if i do it Christmas day and then hope...

    King Keg problem

    Hi everyone Having a bit of disaster. Just tried my first brew in kingkeg with a high tap and I cant get any beer out. Its holding pressure and ive put extra gas in, I did manage to get the smallest trickle out which just about managed to amount to half a pint but thats it. Sadly the...

    I bet this has been asked a 1000 times before...

    Im no expert but I wouldnt. I have some of those boxes and you can smell plastic, my fear would be that the smell would leak into the grain. I'm not sure plastic tasting beer would be all that great haha Pretty sure you could pick up some large, food grade plastic containers? From...

    this is my problem, between finding the time and then I have to clear space and get all my kit down from the loft, its just easier to go to the local haha

    how much water?

    I'll check out the software but I really like the idea of no sparge, Im not sure I do it right anyway but my beer tends to come out pretty good and at times, really nice (apart from my last one, still have no idea what when wrong with that) Thanks for the reply!

    ....but How long can i keep open packets of hops and grain for? To be honest, I dont have a lot of grain left but enough to go toward another brew but it would be a shame to waste the hops - Im sure I read somewhere hobs can be frozen? Thanks!

    how much water?

    I dont add the sparge on top, I sparge after draining the liquid off

    is this a disaster?

    Really helpful and thank you! So where do you think I got it so right if that’s the right phrase. I know I managed to get the boil rolling quicker and managed to cool it down pretty quickly. But just wondered what might I have done right? I know the wight I’d grain was...

    how much water?

    Thank you! This is really helpful! Does it ever vary from 2.5l per kg? I don’t want to confuse anything but wondered if some beer are different
