    The Range Red Wine kit

    Theoretically dextrose (a.k.a. glucose) is the purest and easiest substrate for yeast to consume. Granulated sugar (sucrose) is a molecule of dextrose bonded to a molecule of fructose and requires the yeast to do an extra processing step to consume it. Somehow however :?:, sucrose is more...

    Using a muslin bag over the end of a siphon tube

    Yes, but sanitise the muslin bag first by putting it in a pan of boiling water for five minutes first before attaching it over the end of the syphon.

    Adding Hazelnut Extract

    I have used MSK flavourings commercially, with good results. They're not the cheapest, but the results were always good and they go a long way. Use the Flavour burst versions, as the others provide little more than an aroma and make sure it's water based, not oil based. I used to find 20ml was...

    Strong, bitter, metallic taste after a week bottled

    A metallic taste / aroma is usually caused by ferrous sulphate, which results from the presence of iron in either your equipment or your water. Off flavours Metallic is no. 9 If you are making kits, I'm assuming everything that comes into contact with the wort or beer will be plastic or glass...

    Back to basics

    Soft water is great for pale beers, however the critical stage is the mash, and with a kit, this has been done by others. In theory there should be no need to spend money on bottled water. It would be interesting to brew the same kit again with tap water (or split a kit) and compare the...

    Some advice on upping Muntons Gold Continental Pilsner yeast

    This kit ferments at 18-20Β°C, so it uses an ale yeast (even though it is a lager). This is normal for kits as they assume kit brewers don't have the temperature control to ferment at lager temperatures. Typically for a 4.5% ale, you would use one 11g packet for 23 litres, even adding 500g of...

    AG/PG advice needed

    I started with the Wilko stock pot and made many good beers with it. Wilko's obviously no longer with us, but spotted this the other day, which looked identical. George SS Stock Pot It may look a thin gauge, but they're plenty tough enough.

    Banks Bitter

    Partially true. Banks' brewery first aquired another brewery comany (and it's tied houses) over a hundred years and changed the group name to Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries. Since then W&D has aquired about a dozen other breweries, including Marstons. The group's name was once again changed...

    Fitting a commercial keg coupler to a Corney - any options?

    Some breweries use 20 litre kegs with the A type fitting, which look similar to corny kegs, however therse are a separate design, known as Sanke (or Sankey) kegs. This fitting cannot be retrofitted to a standard Corney keg.
