Well, a few weeks have passed and I am sat watching Rick Stein whilst drinking my Elderflower Wheatbeer, its surprisingly great, just enough elderflower to give it a slightly savoury rather than flowery flavour. its quite strong though ! very pleased with the results seeing as its just a wilkos...

I think I am going to add it as elderflower tea, I have also changed the beer and am going to add it to a wheat beer kit, I think it would be more suited to that

I have some elderflower left after making some elderflower champagne, not enough for another batch but I thought rather than waste them I would put them in with one of my wilko pale ale kits. I would appreciate on suggestions regarding the best time to add them. I am thinking of adding at the...

Went into Wilko's Spalding today, they have special offers on the beer kits, £2 off standard kits bringing them down to £10 and £3 off the premium kits bringing them down to £13 pounds, I bought a premium and a standard

I transferred to my Cornelius keg yesterday, it had settled beautifully clear in the FV with a nice solid sediment that didn't get disturbed when I transferred. I currently have 10-15 psi of c02 sat on it and I am trying to promise myself to leave it untouched for at least 2 more weeks - however...

update…… the beer is brewing like billy-o, very vigorous, currently at 19c and having a whale of a time!

I do have another keg, but the opening is damaged rather than the lid so even with a new o-ring and a bit of gas it doesn't seal - so that will be getting weighed in

These seem very cheap on ebay, too good to be true? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Grade-Reconditioned-AEB-Cornelius-Keg-Corny-Ball-Lock-Home-Brew-Beer/133062468026?hash=item1efb2421ba:g:UMMAAOSw319c59ng

I spent 10 years in the Navy, I am used to drinking bad beer in bad bars in bad countries !

I just made up my latest wilko kit (cerveza lager) I couldn't find my thermometer so used my calibrated thumb to test the temperature - and decided that I knew best and that the tepid feel of the beer meant I was at about 20 centigrade - about 20 seconds after pitching the wife rocked up holding...

I spent some time "residential" at Combat stress in Surrey - well done to your lad because a well trained mental health person can save just as many lives as a heart surgeon, always remember that.

im making this kit tomorrow and like you will be using light DME and maybe some beer enhancer - but I am aiming for a Cerveza that I can drink icy cold in the garden

I bought one of these wilko cerveza kits today to have a light cold summer drink, I bought some light DME as well just to see how that works compared to my previous brews where I just used normal granulated sugar. I also have some beer enhancer (mix of DME and dextrose) should I go all in on the...

quick update, the IPA has been in the corny keg for just over a week and the keg sat in a fermentation bin full of water - hallelujah, it has cleared, it now smells like beer should and its almost there in terms of carbonation.... oh and it tastes good too!

Obviously I knew best, the advice and data online said to carbonate at 10-12psi for 2 weeks at a set temperature, so being a know it all I chilled it even cooler and put 25-30psi of Co2 in the keg. Result = I am drinking shaving foam, having to pour half a pint into a pint glass and put it into...

two weeks on, I have nearly finished drinking the Pilsner I made at the same time but the IPA is still amazingly cloudy. If I pour a glass off and put it in the fridge overnight it stays cloudy but I get a layer of yeast in the bottom of the glass. To be fair it tastes ok but when you pour it...

the yeasts definitely didn't get mixed as I made one kit at a time - the smell is hard to describe but I suppose there is a hint of eggyness - the kits were made around 3 weeks ago, I put the beer finings in on Saturday morning - I think I will just leave it in the garage for a while and hope it...

I recently did two kits from wilko's - the supposed special editions. 1 was the extra hoppy pilsner which I have just transferred to a corny for conditioning, it smells great and tastes good too. however the other is the IPA, this one has a slightly unpleasant smell to it. I sterilised...

Hi, I have been reading posts that suggest that when conditioning in a corny keg that the temperature should be kept below 50f to allow co2 equilibrium to occur. In my beer shed the kegs spend most of the time below 40f but get up to nearly 60f for an hour or two each day. Does that I will not...
