Before I offer it on FB, thought I would see if there were any takers here. I have a working tall larder fridge, ideal for making into a brew fridge if anyone wants it. Collection only, in the SR3 (Sunderland) area.

Found a HBC Full Extract Munich Helles kit I had forgotten about the other week, well out of date, but thought what the hell, ordered some new yeast and cracked on today. Had some old candied sugar (about 200g) and also the left overs of a bag of spray malt (about 200g) so added them into the...

Have not brewed this year, but with lock-down, and time on my hands, thought I would knock a 5 gallon brew up. First thing, yeast was out of date. Pitched it anyway, but after a day it didnt seem as if there was any life in it, so ordered another one. Once the new one had turned up (2 days)...

I have brewed a 1 gallon white wine kit with a view to make it into a sort of prosecco. I intend to bottle it in swing top bottles with a little champagne yeast and a teaspoon of sugar per bottle. With the kit, should I be missing out both/one of the following steps please, or still doing...

Have been hunting on the forum/google for a rhubarb wine recipe, and there are so many variations, that my head is spinning. I have digested them all, and came up with this, does it look okay please? Also added a few questions at the bottom. TIA 7kg Rhubarb 7kg Sugar 4tsp Pectolase (Should I...

After corking my first batch of home brew wine, I realised that I need to move over to screw tops for ease. I can get as many screw top bottles as I need from my local, and obviously the tops will only have been used once, so would I be better off just using the caps with came with the bottles...

I started a plum wine a few month ago, and it fermented quite happily. I know I need to rack it off the sediment but so far, there does not seem to be any, and it has been in the bucket for a good couple of months. Should I add something to help the solids drop, or just leave it some more...

I usually brew beer and the odd cider, but since I am all stocked up for the next few months, I wanted to turn my hand to a nice red. I am planing on having a go at the KenRidge Showcase Amarone kit. When I have been reading up on here, I hear that you should not have head space in your...

Afternoon. I m busy with my first extract kit. A HBC Full Extract Extra Irish Stout. OG was 1056, it has been in the brew fridge (again, first time using this, so another unknown for me) for one week at 19, and 2 weeks at 20.5C. I then chilled it to 5C ready to bottle, but have just taken a...

I have just given this a try, and its been on about 4 weeks now and I believe is fully fermented, i have seen this made on-line and theirs is always clear (see pictures below) where as mine has a pink tinge to it, does anyone have any idea why it might have gone pink please?

I have a bit of spare time today, so fancy doing my second grain brew. I have a few ingredients left from my first brew and wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of which of them to use. I prefer lager style or Belgium blonde style drinks, but will give anything a bash. So...
