    What's gone wrong, me or the kit?

I stirred it thoroughly for 2 minutes and yes, 20 litres/36 pints per the pack. I really don't know what else it could be. I'm in Malvern too, I would invite you round to take a...

    What's gone wrong, me or the kit?

    After a couple of years' hiatus, now seemed like as good a time as any for me to restart homebrewing. Having ordered a Tiny Rebel Cwtch kit I soaked and scrubbed all my (pretty clean in the first place) equipment in VWP, thoroughly rinsed and then sanitised with StarSan before following the...
