Iv had this brew fermenting for 8 days now and plan on bottling it soon as i get a chance. The thing thats playing on my mind is theres a lot of yeast floating on top is this normal?? Thanks in advance for any replies. :thumb:

Havnt been on here for a while so sorry for late reply. Ended up getting a whoodfordes NOG kit in the end. should be ready to bottle in about a week as going to leave it a few days longer than instructed. Fingers crossed this will turn out as nice as some of the reviews iv read. :cheers:

Just stick to the intructions mate. This was my 1st kit and it was fantastic. Im on my 4th kit now and got another can of youngs lager so might just do that again. Stick to the instructions to get an idea of what it tastes like and then start chopping and changing on your next attempt. :cheers:

Absoloutly love guiness but my god its expensive. Went dublin last october and its even more expensive there. 5 euros a pint in the day and then at about 12 oclock at night they put the prices up to about 7 euros. Was a very expensive weekend lol. :D

Iv read a lot about the wherry kits they seem to have a lot of good feedback and very popular. Is there anyone in particular or are they all good kits. On a side note i bottled my muntons gold stout today and had a little taste and was pleasantly suprised it wasnt too far off guinness. can...

Sake lads come on im bottling my stout tommorow and need a new project lol. My mate is asking me to do him a corona type of lager but want to make something similar to hooky gold first!! Im going my homebrew supplier in coventry market on saturday so try and reply before then. :cheers: ps...

I bottled this beer 2 weeks ago got it in the stable waiting to drink in the summer. Hope it turns out ok. If u give in to temptation let me know how it turns out :thumb: . Iv got the muntons gold stout ready to bottle in the next few days hope that turns out well. :cheers:

Well i asked my grandad what it was called and he says hooky gold. It was very smooth and had almost a sour taste at first but that soon went. It also had a slight perfume taste which was nice but not too strong dont know if that would be from the hops or what as its the only ale iv ever tried...

lol good point. Will have to make ale my new drink for a while. Was really impressed i had a pint of coors before and the ale made the coors seem bland. lots of flavour. :drink:

Tried ale for the 1st time yesterday. Have always been a lager or guiness drinker but fancied a change and loved it :thumb: . It was called hooky norton. Anyone know any kits that resemble this drink? :cheers:

Good luck mate. My favourite drink. Can only drink one of the big bottles though it blows my head off lol. :cheers:

Didnt have coopers so went for muntons gold in the end. :thumb:

Thanks for the advise lads :thumb: . I will be going to the homebrew stall in the coventry market tommorow will probly make my mind up last minute. :cheers:

welcome back mate. :cheers:
