I want to brew a Frontier lager (from Fullers) clone. I was going to use pilsner malt with carapils but the big question is the hops. I know they use Liberty, Cascade and Willamette. But that's it so I have no idea what amounts to include, IBUs or timings. I got in touch with the brewery but...

I live in Portugal and looking for any malt suppliers (and hops, yeast etc) in Europe. I've been using the HomebrewCompany (Irish site) who deliver to Europe but like many others in UK/Ireland their online store is often taken offline because of COVID

I live in Portugal and the main reason I homebrew my beer is so that I don't have to drink the bog standard fizzy generic European lager hereabouts. However, recently on a rare trip to Blighty I did the excellent tour of the Fuller's brewery in Chiswick. A bit expensive but worth it if only for...

I've been brewing with beer kits for about a year now and been very pleased with the results. I've been toying with the idea of getting a robobrew v3 to go AG but need a bit of convincing to click the "buy now" button. I'm sure there are quite a few members who have been in my position, and just...

I've just bottled my first batch of Four Finger Jack IPA. OG1051, FG 1003 : 6.3%alc. compared to the box which suggests OG 1046 and FG 1012 leading to 4.6%. I can't understand why my brew will be so much stronger as I followed the instructions - brewed a bit short but only to 22 litres rather...

Do any of the beer kit sellers do January sales? I'm think of lovebrewing in particular as they seem to be the cheapest to post overseas (I live in Portugal). I want to put in a big order but wondering if I should hold off until January.

I'm in the process of putting together my fermentation fridge. I know some members use a tube heater and others have said it's too hot and simply use an electric bulb. Is a normal light bulb OK? If so what type: incandescent/halogen/a.n.other? or do you really need to go with one used for...

Brew day today! I've started a Milestone Black Pearl as per instructions however my OG was only 1030 (with 40 pints). I therefore added 200g of Muscovado sugar which has increased OG to 1038, still probably a bit lower than it should be. I gave it a good mix so I'm sure that was the correct...

Like a lot of the members here, I spend ages selecting kits to brew. It could be a cheapie like Geordie, or Brewmaker or more expensive like Woodforde's, or even Munton's who have Handcrafted, Conoisseur, etc etc. However, when I delve a little deeper they are ALL made by Munton's. What's going...

I've brewed about a dozen kits so far - mainly Youngs and more recently Geordie. I've used regular table sugar and more recently started using beer kit enhancer. They've all been very successful IMHO and very similar to pub beer. However, with one or two of them, I have got a low alcohol level...
