    AArgh, is it worth bottling

    After a grueller of a day I've come home to find my FV leaking. Made a Festival kit yesterday and there was 2 litres of it all over the garage floor :mad:. Panic set in and I grabbed a brand new FV that I'd just bought and threw the rest of the 20 litres into it, only thing is I hadn't...

    Geordie Bitter - what to do with it?

    My nephew knows that I brew my own beer so bought me a Geordie bitter kit for Christmas, I've only ever done 2 can kits with hop additions so not really expecting great things from it. What can I add to it to 'pimp' it up I was thinking some light spray malt, extra sugar and some Cascade or...

    White grape juice - where from?

    Tried Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys and Aldi yesterday looking for white grape juice but can't find any anywhere. So where's everyone getting theirs from? No problem getting red grape juice but the white stuff is proving hard to find. Cheers

    New Festival Steam Beer

    Started this off the other morning and brewed it to the instructions. OG was 1040 so assuming I can get it down to 1008 as the kit says it will be a very disapointing 4.2 not the claimed 5% I've been looking forward to trying these new kits but if I'd known then I would have brewed it short...

    Germolene taste ?

    Don't know how to describe it really but I've done a muntons gold continental pilsner kit, everything went fine and it's been bottled for about 8 weeks now. It's crystal clear and tastes fine going down but afterwards there's a taste of something like weak germolene left in the mouth. I've done...

    Muntons stuck fermentation

    Got a Muntons Gold Midas Touch brewing and the damned thing is stuck at 1015, it's been brewing for 12 days at a steady 20-22 degrees and hasn't budged on the hydrometer for 4 days,gave it a stir yesterday but it hasn't moved 24 hrs later. Is it knackered or can it be saved? Surely it should go...

    Festival Razorback too hot??

    Checked my Razorback last night which I'm brewing in my garage.It's been really cold in there so I have a brew belt on the FV and a bubble jacket wrapped round it, looks like ET stood in the corner. It wasn't so cold yesterday so when I went out to check the thermometer was reading 28! I check...

    How long do hops last?

    Just found an open foil sachet of Elderflower Golden Ale hops from a Festival Summer Glory kit I did a couple of months ago.They are wrapped up tight in a plastic bag.look and smell fine and coming from the 'waste not want not' school of thinking I was going to chuck them into a Muntons Gold...

    Howdo folks

    Quick intro before I start carpet bombing the entire forum with stoopid questions. Probably a familiar story,bought one of the Coopers all in one lager kits and being honest it was rank awful. Tried a St Peters Golden Ale and it was also rank. Fortunately the local home brew shop has a really...
