Thanks for all the advise here. Suspect that it's the ibu. I've done a few mangrove jack's ipa, mango pale alse.,etc but still not happy with the taste. Will give the gypsum a go too. Once again thanks for all your advice.

Hi all, I'm trying to reduce the bitter taste I seem to get for most of my home brews. Manly mangrove jacks ipa range, so I ready that using a Campden tablet and letting the water stand for 20mins may help. Does anyone have any advise? I've done a few home brews and most seem bitter for an ipa...

Hi all I have brewed the Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA and its very bitter and nothing like an ipa. I'm very new to this and the temp was 18 to 22. Have another kit so will give it another go.

I'd like to win one of those

will have to write "For each 10 points above 1000 the OG is, allow a week for conditioning" down and put it on the bottles lol

Was my first home brew too. Have to say that tried way to early after about 2 weeks and was very bitter :(. Now on my last few and like everyone says leave for min 2 months and the bitterness goes. I like brewdogs IPA but this is not like this at all but still easy to drink (maybe a little to...

Thanks all another lesson learnt

Will give it a go cheers as long as it tastes good all well

Woo so leave well alone till 3 weeks. Bought the youngs basted on advice here. So thought I'd screwed up. So it's the yeast that makes the smell. How do you get rid of the smell from the bucket. Was cleaning for ages thought it maybe that

About 1 week. Though i would do a quick check.

Hi all, this may sound odd but just starting off. Why does my youngs ipa smell like home brew. I've had fun with this brew it's been brewing for two weeks then I added the hopes for 5 days then bottled etc. Looks prity clear. Smells like the turb (if that's the correct worg) the stuff in the...

Hi Fan, sounds very good. I have bottled all mine in pet and glass with carbonation drops (2). Did the same with my St Peters IPA and worked out fine (i do get the bitter taste which i dont like !!). I was trying to copy the Punk IPA and I like the citrus taste myself. Getting the Mangrove jacks...

Hi fan, just bottled mine and in the sf now. Was told that after 2 weeks put in garage should be fine. What was the small and taste like. Dreading it having a bitter taste like my first ipa.

Cheers for all the advice. Yep not many of us left lol we need to get back to the stadium while we still have a team

So is there any time frame that you must follow when you add your hops (says leave for 3 days) before bottling or can you leave to clear / add finnings for a week?
