Is anyone aware of a cheap clear 25 litre plus container that can be used go ferment?

Hi everyone, I have a "Igloo Maxcold Island Breeze 62 Quart Rolling Cool Box 58L" I would like to try convert to a mash tun. It has a 1" diameter drain hold in the base toward the back. My concern is that most conversions use the coolboxes designed to hold cold drinks, and I suspect they have...

I soon got fed up with bottling WOW rose and now use bag in a box. I have done 1 batch of Strawberry and lime TC and it's a hit so will be doing more. I have thought about using the mini kegs, the 5l ones that don't have a tap but are conditioned with a bung and at the time of consumption the...

call me green but I am relatively new to beer.. mostly drink wine and spirits. I know what I like - for better or worse I really like BrewDog Punk IPA. I have just made a mangrove jacks kit that is very nice indeed - it claims to be "like" Elvis Juice" and wondered if anyone had brewed a kit...

I brewed this a few weeks ago, the thing that sold it to me were the free enhancer and the fact that it said it was in the style of "Brew Dog Elvis Juice" It was my first beer kit, I normally do WOW rose and red wine kits. The first thing that got my attention was the smell and taste of the...

Does anyone know of a single supplier of both wheat flakes and crushed and malted wheat? I can't find a single supplier that does both and only wanted to pay one delivery charge. I need 12kg of wheat flakes and 3kg of crushed malted wheat thanks.

started at 1.04 using apple juice with lowicz straberry syrup and didnt ever go mad with fermentation. I used the cider yeast with sweetener off ebay, but only doing 2 x 3 litre batches had to guestimate the amount to use, ended up using 1/2 tsp as didnt want it too sweet. Wondering if adding...

I have done 4 red 5 gallon kits, they have all been very nice. Both beaverdale and CC in the £39 range.. Is it worth paying the extra £7 for the Kenridge classic, or even £11 for vintners reserve?

just about to pitch some "yeast nutrient" into my TC and first thing I notice is its got a pink tone to it, whereas normally its dead white. Mix it with a bit of hot water and it smells of amonia! like what fermentation stopper/stabiliser does. Is this normal, must admit I dont normally...

I am looking at making a fruity TC - experimenting in DJs and wanted some options around storing after priming for serving? I see a few options, mini keg, easy keg.. Can I have opinions of them please and suggestions about the best. Also - how long do people keep cider once serving has...

I don't see a review. the only reasonably priced (sub £45) kit i can see is a CC one.

she's started actually buying the echo falls stuff with flavours in it.. need to put a stop to that! I had a taste of it last night, tasted like flat strong cider to me. Sweet and fruity. So was thinking of doing a few trial bottles for her by simply adding some flavoured syrups to my rose...

24 hours into fermentation and it has stunk out my whole garage. I read that adding more nutrient and racking n.a. k and firth a few time can help.. so that's what I have done. any other ideas?

I found some instructions for making port https://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/MakingPortWine.pdf I plan on harvesting blackberries - hopefully around 2kg (maybe more) to make 5 gallons of port, adding some red grape powder 300gm (thoughts?) and sugar then following the...

I have just completed a Beaverdale nebbiolo and it is good from the off and am sure will get better with age. I have 15l of it in 5l water bottles aging. Is it best to get that lot into bag in boxes? or just keep dark and cool.... AND I like it but what's next? a step up? maybe some...

I have a beaverdale red kit on the go.. it recommends leaving it to clear for between 3 and 7 days. Unfortunately I can't as I will be away. I have added the stabiliser as it was fermented out. Is it better to add the finings and leave it for longer, in my case about 2 weeks? or leave...

https://www.creativewinemaking.co.uk/australian-blend-merlot-30-bottle.html they seem to be 7 day all grape juice kits.. no sugar to add. from reading the instructions of this and my beaverdale kit i just put on the difference is this 7 day kit doesnt go through the 2nd fermentation stage..
