Thanks for the replys, I will leave them.in the garage then, hopefully when this cold snap has passedbthey will clear? They do taste god even with the chill haze!

So, I bottled my coopers Canadian blonde 12 days ago, I gave it 7 days in the house at room temp to carbonate (which worked fine - I tested on at 7 days and it had just the right amount of fizz) After the 7 dayss the beer had started to clear, in the small bottles I did for Sampling it looked...

I'm with you there! My airlock has got quiet now, going to be bottling at the start of next week. I had a little taste when a took a gravity reading a few days ago - it tasted quite unrefined, hopefully this will improve as it progresses.

Sounds good, I'm a week in to brewing the same kit its amazing the change in the FV in just a week.

Thanks Gents, much appreciated

Brewing up last night It's looking good today, a nig head of foam with regular bubbles from the airlock. Made up 2 gallons of wine today one following the WOW recipe, one using pineapple juice.

I was planning to get my first batch of WOW started this evening, but the local wilkinsons was out of stock of pectolase. Will I be able to get the wine started tonight and add the pectolase at a later date? My understanding us that is breaks down the fruit in the juice to help clear, rather...

Feel like I have the bug now, couldn't help keep going in to check on it this evening, even though I know it will take a while to get started! Next plan is to get a couple of gallons of WOW started up tomorrow evening. The Videne sounds like a great idea, I will take a good look into that...

Hi Rob, What do you mean by 'one-wayers'?

Thanks for all of the welcomes, The bottle scrounging is going well so far - I have got a good number from family members from over Christmas and new year and the hotel I stay in regularly for work are going to save me their empties. Next stop, the local pub..... I think my wife is starting...

Great post, will definitely refer to this when I start up my first brew in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Neil, Thanks for the welcome, will definitely try the local pub soon and see how I get on.

Thanks, looking forward to this new hobby!

Thanks for the replies, I think I will go for bottling as it seems to give better flexibility for the extra time taken to do the job.

I have just ordered a kit with the intention of bottling the beer (lager) I quite like the idea of making up a bitter and putting it in a barrel, I seem to read very different reports of the length of time the beer will keep in the barrel, some say it needs to be drunk in the first 7-10 days or...

Hi, Just ordered my first homebrew starter kit with two beer kits to try - a lager and a wheat beer! Hopefully will pick up some tips along the way, I also need to somehow obtain some bottles along the way also.... Cheers, Rob
