I've just finished conditioning an ipa (bru pak linthwaite light). And its mostly cleared but there seems to be a few clumps floating in the beer itself. I assume these are clumps of yeast. Has this happened because i didn't leave it in primary long enough? I basically waited for a week got two...

Hi everyone, i want to make a koppenberg pear cider copy for the mrs.(much sweeter than others e.g. Magners or bulmers) Does anyone have any tips to achieve this? P.s. I would prefer to use a kit as a base but dont mind adding to it. I've done a little research and people have suggested adding...

I have just made my first homebrew which was a coopers lager kit. This is not a true lager and tastes more like a light beer to me. I like hoppy beers like hopping hare. If i did the same kit again but added some hops into the mix would this turn out ok?

Once i have bottled the beer and finished secondary (say a good month) would i be safe to drive the beer to france for a family holiday? Would i need to let it settle for a day once i get there?

Hi Everyone I am a new to home brew, in fact my first brew is in the FV at the moment. When i steralised the FV(sunday) i also steralised the PET bottles at the same time. However i have been told that I should have steralised the bottles just before i put the beer into them. Do you think i...

Hi i am very new to this as a have been given a lager starter kit for christmas. I tried a wet run last night and struggled to regulate the temperature. I was thinking of buying a £30 thermostat heating mat that regulates between 22 and 27 degrees C. I thought this would be the simpliest for a...
