This brew started slow then went mad and has now stopped bubbling in the airlock in less than a week. Im going to leave it the full 14 days before bottling as i want it to clear as much as possible. Im going to bottle using bog standard granulated sugar. Level teaspoon in each bottle. It...

Cheers guys. Im hoping abv wise for 3.8-4% im not one for strong beers i have scotch for that! ;) So far ive done a wherry which i loved a wilko stout which i tinkered with adding golden syrup (also nice) and i made a turbo strawberry cider which ill admit was too bloody strong for me! My...

Happy days Just started my fourth brew. Made it up with 1 can of the english bitter and about 800grms of youngs enhancer. My plan is a nice session brew as im not keen on too much strength. Heres hoping for the best :) The kit only said 500g of dry malt so i think the youngs enhancer will...

Ive been tasting weekly. In my opinion its been nice since the trial jar :)

I think i may stick to the bottles for the time being and maybe get a king keg down the line. Thanks for all the advice guys

Hi all Does anybody have one of these? They are on offer on tesco for 18.50 and i wondered what your thoughts on them are? Ive done 2 brews so far both bottled but am thinking of trying out barreling. Any comments on the youngs barrel? Will i nedd to buy the co2 kit or is it ok without? All...

Hi guys have a look on the lakeland website. Admirals reserve, sundew and st peters ruby red ale all 14.99 each!

All bottled with 1/2 tsp of sugar. FG 1.010. Actuall tasted very nice straight out of the FV. Ive got quite high hopes for this budget kit!

Its been 5 days and it seems to have finished the primary. Fg is 1.010. Will test again in a couple if days to be sure. I tasted the trial and as expected its very thin but also very very smooth with a nutty after kick! Not Very strong but from what ive read, aging us the key to this one!

Hi all Im ready to start tinkering with my kits. My question is what do i need to do in order to add flavour to my brews using malt? Ive read to steep 100g of crushed malt at 60-70c then strain and boil and add to the FV. Does that sound about right? Also wtf do i do with hop pellets...

2004 Mazda 6 2.0 petrol. Lovely comfortable and nippy motor. Served me well for 5 years!

Great find! Just stocked up with another 3 kits and the youngs brew enhancers! Good time to try coopers english bitter, youngs harvest bitter and the scottish heavy! Cheap as chips!

Just started one of these with 1kg of brewing sugar and about 200g of golden syrup. Starting OG is 1.054. Fingers crossed! Ive read the reviews in this kit so im hoping for my second brew its asmuch if a success as my wherry! Hope i havent messed it up with the syrup!

Wahoo sounds like it went right to plan :)

It tasted pretty good out of the fv as they was half a bottle For testing :)

Right its bottled after 2 weeks with half teaspoon of sugar for carbonation. The finished gravity was 1.012. Im on my phone so cant workout the abv it was og 1.046. Anyone??

Just lately been having a fair few bottles of this. While some comment that its neither poor or overly impressive i actually rate it quite highly as a very drinkable drop indeed! Also at 89p a bottle you cannot go wrong! Not to mention i like the bottle shape for my home brew. AND the label...

Hi guys my first brew (a Wherry) is being bottled next week and i wanna get another brew straight on... Does anyone have any recommendations on the cheaper single can kits? My preference is for a bitter.. Ive got a few ive been looking at.. Youngs harvest bitter Wilko hoppy copper...

Right so its 9 days since brewday. Just checked the gravity which is now 1.012 and just had a taste of the sample (couldnt resist!) and it tastes like beer! Yippee!! Dont get me wrong.. Its flat beer but beer none the less! Going to wait till thursday before bottling but im happy it seems to be...

Thanks for the reponses all. nearly 1 week in and by the sounds of it going to plan :) The smell out of the airlock is amazing!
