I know its a dirty word, but had to laugh yesterday. Buying a 6 pack of becks blue, and having to give ID to the cashier for the NA beer! What next, ID for buying Bass Shandy in a can? Oh and sorry for the absence, been mega busy at work!

OK, I know this isn't the words that everyone needs to hear, but due to a shift in my health and new medication I have been told I need to drop my units per week to less than 10. This is due to the medication I need to take (forever more! bit depressing for a young 30 something but oh well!)...

is that because you've drank all the brown bottles so can see your hand?

1/3 off at sainsburys at the mo

1/3 off homebrew kit http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/global_ ... 5265336150 eg bottle tops £2 rather than 3 and so on

Thanks Berk. This is my tester bottle. I have the theory if I have 1 clear glass bottle per batch I can see how it is getting on, something I couldn't do if it was a brown bottle.

Well the lager I managed to bottle up yesterday. Tip for you all, dont leave the dregs in the bucket in the kitchen over night, the house will stink! Bit cloudy but hoping it will clear

Well I didnt get to bottle today, so maybe the IPA tomorrow

3g per 500ml is what I have been told when asked.

well this is where I am IPA Coopers Lager, not convinced. Looks very washed out

if you are thinking about them, check your insurence. Many companys wont cover them, or roof damage as they are extra load on the house that shouldnt really be there.

local chemist dont stock it but its in their book that they can order 500ml cost £10 Tell you what will send you half for a £5.....

Love it!

if you take it out the tub, dont return it... works for most things in life.

might be even easier to sand and flag? saying that I have the reverse problem the roof is rotten on my shed.... £300+ for someone to do it!

Now I can picture the response to the WHOOP in my house.... I foresee at least one black eye...

so silly question How do you do the 'prime' without the 2nd bucket...? Both my FV has brews in them this weekend so the 1st batch (at least) must be done in bottles or in the FV. Can I simply add a spoon full of sugar to the bottles and top up with my home brew kit?

keep it simple, I am only brewing as the OH baught me a kit from amazon! Maybe put off buying stuff untill you have had a go? I mean you can get a kit off the web for £50 everything in. its a start then you can at the shiny shiny bits later?

No answer to the last question, I'm just intrested in the final questions as I am bottling for the 1st time this weekend.

I did the same, snapped the top shut and opened about 1/3 of the rim. Gonna turkey baste the samples tomorrow and see how its going. I hope its all sorted and I can bottle on Sunday. I did get a bit of bubbling up, but I added a bit too short water, so only have 21 ish ltrs. Didn't get...
