So I'm looking to make a plain mead and looking for a foolproof recipe and basic instructions. Cheers

so finally started brewing again and kicked off with this kit, added 1kg sugar to it, having a few issues with new bucket as the tap is leaking at seal of bucket, hopefully when pressure builds it seals itself, or covers my garage floor in sticky liquid. Starting gravity was 1048

Picked up 2 of these today , king kegs but have a tap pressure gauge and inlet for gas in lid, in his case it also came with an old regulator and a tank of 30/70 co2 and nitro. Anyone seen these before .

As title suggests does anyone use or suggest an inline filter for use between corny keg and beer tower tap, had a hop bag split on me and want to reduce bits in the beer.

Ok how does this sound 1.8kg feeling hoppy kit tin 1.7kg light liquid extract 500g light dried extract 100g wai-iti hops dry hop

Ok so in my ingredient shelf i have a tin of Coopers pale ale though past date by 6 month, a tin of amber liquid extract (plan to make the coopers parity amber ale recipe) hut dry hop with 50g mandarina Bavaria and 50g motueka hops, to give it a real lively citrus fresh buzz, would amber work or...

I've googled it and pretty sure but thought I'd ask in here, made a red wine beaversale pinot noir anyway ago and opened the last bottle just now and there was a defiente hiss and about 8mm of fizz bubbles appeared on wine. Is this just my lack of degassing skills and slight secondary...

So first brew since returning after 10 months and it's been in brew fridge at a constant 19-20 degrees and it's day 11 and it's 1012-1014 and brown and murky. Should I be concerned

As title suggests , would it be ok if i ran the water a bit to clear any **** in it fill up a fv with hose water from garden tap to the required amount when brewing , only my new brewing area is in garage at end of garden,

So a while back I made a 5 litre batch of Scottish ale with 1 oak aging stick soaked in 100mls of dark rum , it was awesome so doing a full batch, Does anyone have any thoughts on amount of rum and oak, is it purely 5 times as much or is the maths more scientific, I know the spirit might kill...

https://www.tompress.co.uk/A-10000236-must-vat-100-litres-imitation-lying-barrel.aspx?tracking=Lengow Anyone seen this , 100 litre fermenter hidden in a lying barrell looking thing , pretty cool tho I bet a nightmare to properly clean

So in wilko earlier they have these wherry and tinsel toes in a tube 25 pint brew in a bag type things reduced to 6 quid, as I've just moved I havnt unpacked brewing kit yet so this will be tried out

So my turbo cider has been sat for a couple of months and yesterday noticed a few specks of what looked like mould in the top of certain bottles, mainly the wilco swingtop bottles, I'm fairly sure they are sealed tight , any ideas

So my belgiun wot got under way in Tuesday but was unable to take a gravity reading. Can someone work out roughly what it should be. I've tried beer Smith but not sure it's right, 1.7kg tin of coopers wheat beer 1kg wheat dry extract 680g Tesco Orange blossom honey (81g of sugar per...

Plan to do a belgiun wit style and add honey , it's a 19 litre batch and plan to add 680g honey, would anyone that's used Orange blossom honey before know if its worth using and will it impart a slightly Orange flavour with the honey

So I've brewed the same kit and after 2 month in bottle it was nice and drinkable but 2 months in corny it seems almost yeasty and a strange flavour, am I right in assuming it takes longer to condition 19l in a corny keg than 500ml in a bottle, also managed to carb itself in corny when I only...

So brewed an admirals reserve kit a few months ago and after 3 weeks in primary I filtered to a corny and have left it at 5psi just to seal lid and have left to age, I've just attached my regulator and it's nearly 30 psi in it and I'm unable to draw any out due to foam, it's been left at about...

Need to use a Cooper wheat beer can as out of date and got this so far, any thoughts, also a lot of honey as I've heard it ferments out a lot of flavour. Also got a T-58 belgium yeast spare so thought would use that

Morning all Im assuming this has been discussed before but can't seem to find but has anyone used boiled fruit flavoured sweets to prime there cider, they appear to be the same as carb drops but presumbly with added flavour

So I've got a dj of tc on and want to prime with raspberry syrup for a bit extra flavour but was planning on bottle priming as only 4.5 litres of cider, does anyone have a rough amount per 500ml bottle I will need , or link to a calculator or method of3 working out
