This was one of the first kits I ever brewed a few years back and I remember it turning out to be very drinkable. I always intended to brew another one of these but wanted to try all the other main kits first including 3 wherry's! I am looking forward to brewing this and seeing if it's as good...

just getting stuck into mine now after 4 weeks in bottles. great session beer and hopefully will get even better. came out at 4.2% and think i will do another wherry and try to get it a little stronger!

almost two months down the line and its gone downhill! no fizz and a funny after taste a bit like old medicine! luckily i've got a wherry kegged up, which is turning out to be a great little session beer

thanks joey i will try this and hopefully get it up to a high 4 :cheers: :cheers:

Hi I've just finished brewing my second wherry and after weeks in bottles it's a really nice brew> however i prefer my ales to be 4.5% + but can't seem to get my wherry any strong than 4.0. Would be grateful for any advice on how to get a bit more kick into my next brew - i suppose i could...

it all adds to the flavour!

when cleaning and sterilising my bottles i do the following 1. insert garden hose to each bottle to remove any sediment/dirt 2. clean with bottle brush 3. fill bath tub up with hot water and add a load of sterilising tablets. 4. leave bottles to soak for the day (or over night) in the bath...

a few people on here have said that but i've personally never had a problem. my dad and brother have always used wine bottles and never had a problem either

Do people generally just use tap water when brewing or is it worth while using bottled spring water to get a better end result? I purchased a water purifier at the weekend and used it on my latest wherry. will be very interested to see if it makes much of a difference. I must admit that plain...

I've never had a problem with wine bottled to be honest. I've always used them and only had a issue when left them in the shed on a hot summers day! This was with a screw top wine bottle where the corks popped out quite easily but never had a problem with a traditional wine bottle. I might try...

hi, I use them for ale.I use wine bottles but was thinking caps may hold the fix a little better for some reason thanks smurf

Hi all Do caps keep the fiz in better than corks? I've been using corks to date but was wondering if caps are better Thanks Smurf

just tried a bottle for the frozen brew and it's come out just normal. A little light on fiz but very drinkable. Only been in bottles for 3 weeks since primary fermentation, so can only get better!

thanks for the info everyone. hopefully it will be ok - I'll give it until the weekend and then try drinking one!

Hi, I made the mistake of leaving my bottled beer outside on Friday evening and some of the bottles froze over night. I bottled the beer 2 weeks ago after 3 weeks of fermenting. Do you think the fact that my beer froze will have any affect on the end result? Thanks Ian
