Thanks guys. Since I am brewing this for Mr DizzyDazz I'll let him decide whether fruiter is good or not. If not I might try a different yeast.

Fruitier sounds OK. Will give it a go when the weather warms up. Thanks

Too many gnats... they'ed get in my beerasad1

The brewing temperature for Woodfordes Wherry is given at 18-20C so I was just wondering will I be able to brew this when the temperatures start to rise?

What's the difference between LMEs such as Beerworks Liquid Malt Enhancer/Mangrove Jacks Pure Liquid Malt Extract 1.2kg which are both under a fiver and the more expensive LMEs such as Coopers/Muntons?

What are you using to sterilise or sanitise your bottles?

Mr DizzyDazz was rather taken with a pint of Maltsmiths IPA while on his hols and according to Maltsmiths blurb, they use Citra, Chinnock, Columbus, Centennial hops so maybe the American hops are the way to go...

What hops would you use to add flavour rather than bitterness?

Good idea. LOL.

Can anyone recommend low IBU beer kits? Mr DizzyDazz has just informed me he doesn't like bitter beer, the problem is not many kits give you the bitterness units.

Opened a bottle a few days ago, and it appears to have thrown a sediment, which has well an truly stuck to the bottom of the bottle.

Something a bit weird here, if you tested your hydrometer in water it should read about 1000. Now if you mixed the correct amount of water and sugar with your Wilko kit and got a reading of 1075 then the potential alcohol would be about 10%. Are you reading your hydrometer correctly?

It's only been bottled a couple of days and no sediment as yet.

I agree Beaverdale and CC are better kits but they are about 30% more expensive and I'm on a bit of an economy drive at the mo.

Difficult to say as I have mainly stuck to the Beaverdale kits in the past. Generally, I say you get what you pay for with wine kits, however, for the price of a £1 a bottle the Punch kit makes an acceptable red with a quick turnaround. Think I might try a white in their range next time.

I have a vague recollection of using Compuserve in 1992 for email and BBS sites and I'm still in contact with a lady living in Australia from over 20 years ago when we were researching on a Genealogy BBS. The internet was a very male environment...
