... March 2018 on a Cooper's dark ale kit I had in storage. Ok to use or..? Also found a Cooper's lager I forgot I had so winner winner chicken dinner

Morning all, life things got in the way of my brewing and I've been away for a loooooong time back now though!! I've got 2 kits in storage that I'm hoping to pimp up at the end of the month and I'm moving away from bottles ( alot of faffing) so I'll be investing in pressure barrels. Any...

I wasn't going to have a drink tonight but after hearing Bradys died I'll have to have a celebratory stout!

Treacle stout (again!) At 6.8ish% and wheat vanilla beer at 4.8% sampled. Stout is 2 weeks in the bottle and the wheat will be 2 weeks this Wednesday. Well impressed, wheat beer very banana-ery (but hardly any vanilla). 2 coopers kits next, and when they're done I'll be heading towards 200...

Hi all, what's the highest abv you can expect to get from a wilkos gervin and how does it compare to yeasts in the coopers kits? Cheers!

Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm bottling my wilkos wheat beer today, and I'm at a loss for what to use to batch prime?? I'm thinking maybe honey but just wandering if anyone has used anything else, or is simple table sugar the best option?

Does anyone else's significant other glaze over when you start to passionately try to share your knowledge of our wonderful hobby? Ive just been explaining why we should go to love brewing today to pick up 2 kits and spare bucket for bottling and she just picked her phone up and pretended she...

Does anyone use anything other than a fermenting bucket to rack from a primary to batch prime then bottle? Local wilkos shuts at 5.30 and I can never get there in time after work, just wandering if there's alternatives from b and q etc? Cheers all.

Help! I brewed a coopers treacle stout and a wilkos wheat beer on the 9th and did hope to bottle it on Sunday gone..but didn't. The next chance I'll get to bottle will be this next weekend, will they be OK left on the trub for an extra week??

I'll be starting this soon, one can kit and 500g wheat spray malt. I was thinking of buying some of that polish syrup too. Question is, home much and when does it go in? Cheers

Ive got a coopers stout itching to be done at the weekend so I'm off to wilkos after work to pick up a kit in the sale. Looking for ideas/suggestions please folks? I've done the cerveza, but probably drank it too quick as the last 3 bottles where really good. Hit me with your suggestions...

..is a whole English pound a 500ml bottle in morrisons, I'm a happy chap tonight..

Well, second brew was done in November last year and its been sat outside since bottling on the 23rd December. Initially taste at bottling wasnt the best but just cracked one after work...Bloody lovely

Morning all, quick question- I've only got normal white sugar and dark brown cane sugar and I'm batch priming and bottling a wilko cerveza today- which is best to use? Thanks

Morning all! I've had one of the above in a fermenter for just over 2 weeks, in fact it will be 3 weeks this Saturday. It's been quite a slow ferment, is it wise to leave it or get it off the trub before 3 weeks? Thank you

I might have access to a large commercial kitchen to get a good few brews on for Christmas, and some demijons of wine. Once brewed and put in fermenters etc would it be OK to transport it home in a car? The journey would be less than 10 minutes? Cheers all!!!

Anyone else looking for to this showdown? I can't wait, booked the day off work after the event- planning on staying up to watch it all live. For me, Trump is the best of a bad bunch; Clinton is so crooked and corrupt she'd probably cause WW3. Interested to hear everyone else's thoughts?

Who uses Untappd?...I'm Brian_T....
