Evening all. Have a Wilko Cerveza on the go and used to packets of youngs lager yeast. I sprinkled it dry at 23c onto the wart and it did nout for 24hrs. So I gave it a stir and b*gger me sideways it's off like a rocket!! 48 hours later and the airlocks still going mad like a raped ape...

Evening all. As the title says I'll be using hop pellets to dry hop a kit lager intend to make. Thing is do i defrost them first or just fling them in and let the brew defrost and brrak them up?? Cheers all

Ahhh I think I may have rehydrating at starter as one and the same. So tjem, rehydration needed but no sugars tl "start it" so which is best, 20mins or over night? if the yeast multiplies over night then surely this will mean more sugar will be chowed on during fermentation? thanks for the...

Evening all. Put a post up on fave acbe regarding Lager Kits and yeast etc. A gentleman informed me I should make a "yeast starter". I have 2 5 gram packs of dry youngs lager yeast. Now then, from what I understand it involves putting the dry yeast into warm water with some sugar for...

Cheers I think I'll try the lemons and limes. reason i thougbt oranhes is to add some sweetness to the sour as it where.

Evening all. I plan to do a lager kit as I hear you can get better results than Fosters/carlin/carlsberg etc (all rancid pish watta anyways). I shall be using hop pellets but was wondering to give it a citrus undertone, would squeezing the juice of a few oranges lemons and limes be an idea...

Ah now then! the lower temp thing may hold water. im using gervin yeast at about 17c so that may be the issue.

eyup all. Doing a wilko sweet nookie broon kit. put ut in the FV on thursday and into Brew HQ (the cubourd). been smelling malty and fine on thur nigbt and fri however today (saturday) i open my cubourd and it smells of rotton eggs! Is this a byproduct of the yeast at work? or is it knackered?

Forgot about this lol. Whey ide cut the lemons out straigjt away as they make it sharp, like too sharp. Replace em with oranges. Also if you wanna sweeten it ide say splenda isnt the best choice as it doeant disolve (as in drops out of the beer and setles at bottom) n it can stick to your...

Appart from alot of food waste. Things like unrecyclable packaging, kitchen roll, nappies, odds n sods here n there. youve got me questioning what goes in there now. I recycle properly as its something I agree with.

Don't forget the countries 2 most lucrative bus lane cameras (1.7million in 6 months) just to dig the boot in! Also the idiotic 30mph average speed cameras on coast road aswell. Am I a spoilt brat for getting angry about my new bin collection schedule.? Which is now once a fortnight.

I had a tin of Bodingtons when i was 16, it tasted like thin sliced ham.....:confused:

So I bought 4 bottles of the above for £1 a pop Morrisons. And wow! I never thought I'de so offended and outraged over 4 quid! If kermit the frog violated my mouth instead and told me to "clean yourself up you whore!" Atleast I'de still have my 4 quid! I'm not an expert on tasting hops...

Eyup all, Here's a question for you all, how often do you crack open your FV and have a whiff? Go on be honest. Also have any of you ruined a brew doing so? I only ask as ive just had a whiff of my ginger beer (yes yes not technicaly a beer) and it smells faboulous!
