There's a glossary button near the top of the page but it isn't in there. AG stands for All Grain which means using grains instead of Liquid (LME, as in most beer kits) or Dried Malt Extract (DME).

Give it a good rouse and it should drop a few more points!

Ordered ingredients to do this doubled up - will my 19~ litre pan be suitable for a 10 litre mash and boil? 2k Maris Otter 10g Dr Rudi hops @ 60minutes 20g Dr Rudi hops @ 5minutes Any advice on using some more of the hops up at flame out or dry hopping? Or perhaps increasing the hop dosage to...

Count me in

Made this kit in April. Left in FV for 2 weeks and bottled with carbonation drops. I tried a bottle after 2 weeks conditioning and it had a odd taste to it - an almost sour finish. Some guests have enjoyed it but I can never finish a whole glass. I've tried a bottle every month since...

Beavertown Neck Oil IPA is nicer than the Gamma Ray in my opinion.

- Started kit on January 23rd using 1kg of Hopped Light Spraymalt instead of included sugar. - Dry hopped with including hops on February 4th - Dry hopped with East Kent Golding pellets on February 7th - Bottled on February 9th - realised I didn't stir brewing sugar in properly Tried...

Only hops I have at the moment are about 25g of Chinook pellets...could make something pretty special by adding it to this kit. How late to add the hops though?

Just bottled the Youngs APA, I'm planning to do this kit next - would anyone advise swapping the yeast out for Safale s-04? Or adding extra hops? Cheers

Kernel is very good beer, my local wine shop stocks a good selection. The "Table Beer" they brew is very good. London restaurants sell the 330ml bottles for ~£4 a pop.

It would be nice to drink from the bottle though...!

Hi all, Any advice on kits to get a really nice golden ale from? I'm happy with tweaking a kit if necessary. I'm after something which will end up tasting like a Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted. Golden, citrusy, slight sweetness, just the right hoppyness....the perfect session ale? Cheers

1oz is around 28g, no?

I found that my "bubbler" didn't bubble much to start with when I first used it, I had to press the pressure out of the lid to make it "bubble". 2 weeks later and it seemed to be bubbling happily. If you can see a krausen starting then that's all that matters (even that can take a few days though!)

Give this (http://www.home-brew-online.com/beer-kits-c1/triple-tykes-special-export-ale-kit-p1048) a go!

Some advice from a newbie to other newbies: easy way to control temps: Buy one of those green 40L flexible gardening buckets (£5 from my local "we-sell-everything" shop). Order a cheapo fish tank heater from amazon. Ta-da! Consistent 21°C fermentation.

My local wine shop has had Beavertown's "Quelle" on sale for the last few weeks @ £1.50 a bottle. It's described as a "dry hopped saison" and it's lovely, can't get enough!

Good on you for supporting you LHBS, I just can't seem to find many in London!

Fermentation has finally finished (day 12) - measuring at 1.005 on my hydrometer so I've thrown in the included hops - the packet smelled amazing! Might add 50g of EKG pellets after 3 days and bottle in 5 days.
