    Best 'Pale' to add to?

    Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I brewed so a bit rusty. I plan to start with just a solid Pale Ale kit and then dry hop with possibly Mosaic, Sabro, or even good old reliable Citra! Anyway, any suggestions on which kit to buy? I have had good results with Ritchies Simply Pale in...

    carbonating period

    Interesting thread. I have had problems with my last couple of brews carbing and I am not sure why. This time I have used more sugar (around 200g) and the bottles have been in the warm at around 20 degs for 10 days now. I have never cold crashed however. Will give this a go. How long do you...

    Batch priming Cerveza

    Thanks for the replies. I have gone for 2 carb drops a bottle. Hopefully I should get a decent fizz.

    Batch priming Cerveza

    Hi there, I have not brewed a Cerveza before and could do with some guidance on how much sugar to use. Would 2 carb drops per 500ml bottle be too much? If I batched primed my 40 pints how much should I use? Thanks

    Best way of adding Chilli

    I tend to like pretty spicy food so probably the small birds eye ones. I may just add a whole chilli to each bottle and see how much taste/heat I get from that?

    Best way of adding Chilli

    I have tried a couple of chilli beers at recent festivals and thought I would give one a go. I have bought a Wilko's Cerveza Kit in their sale but just need some guidance of how/when to add the Chilli. Do I add to the Primary FV or perhaps put some in the secondary. I though about just putting...

    Cheap (ish) swing top bottles in Aldi.

    Went into Aldi last night and they have got a German beer on sale called Das Helle. It comes in 500ml bottles at £1.79. It is very drinkable but the best thing about it is that it comes in good quality flip-top bottles!

    Flat Beer in the Keg!

    Still nothing. The beer tastes fine but very flat. Not sure what this problem is. Forgive my lack of knowledge but If I bottled it with carb drops or more sugar would that work? Thanks Ian

    Flat Beer in the Keg!

    Thanks knthrak1982 I have put vaseline on the thread of the new cap so hopefully pressure will build. Will leave it a week and then see how things are going.

    Flat Beer in the Keg!

    Thanks BIGJIM, It was part of my starter kit from the Homebrew Shop. I think they are £20 to £25. The lid was on pretty tight so perhaps that was the problem.

    Flat Beer in the Keg!

    Please can anyone help. I have made several brews now but it is only the 3rd time I have used a keg. All seemed to be fine...the pale ale went in the keg 3 weeks ago along with about 100g of sugar. A week at room temperature then 2 weeks in the garage. Tried some at the weekend and it tastes...

    BetterBrew Czech Pils still bubbling away after 17 days?

    Thanks rpt. Bottled it last night. Been at 1008 for a few days but was still bubbling! Tastes pretty good. Got high hopes for this one!

    BetterBrew Czech Pils still bubbling away after 17 days?

    All my previous dozen or so brews have finished within a fortnight but this one is still bubbling away aftrer 17 days! OG was 1042. Took a reading after 2 weeks and it was at 1008. Room has been at a pretty steady 18 degrees. Should I be worried? Cheers

    Better Brew, IPA

    I've done a about a dozen kits now and used this one 3 times. Used LME first time, dry-hopped with Cascades second time, and just primed with Molasses with the one in the keg at the moment! Best kit I have done without a doubt. Next time I'm going to do the lot in one brew!

    Extract Brew using Citra

    Thanks puravida. How long do you tend to keep the hops in for after you have turned the flame out?

    Extract Brew using Citra

    Planning on doing my third extract brew this week so still pretty new to this. I would appreciate the Forums views on using Citra as the only hop? Looking at doing a 23L brew. Going to use 3kg of extra light DME and 200 g of Crystal Malt. Any suggestions at the amount of hops needed? I hear...

    Badger Golden Glory - A kit to start with?

    This has been in the FV for 11 days now so I took a reading. Gone to 1010 from 1040. Had a quick try and was pleasantly surprised...nice and hoppy but also has the peachy aroma and taste. However, put the lid back on and within half an hour the lid was bulging again! First time this has happened...

    Badger Golden Glory - A kit to start with?

    Eventually got round to my first extract brew last night. All went remarkably smoothly. Made 11.5L with ingredients that cost about a tenner! In the FV now so fingers crossed that it turns out Golden Gloryish! If it turns out OK then this will be the way I brew going forward. Thanks to Rob...
