with a kit with hops in it. should the hops be in a bag or just put directly into the brewing vessel? the instructions aren't clear. the kit in question is the Woodford (Muntons) Bure Gold thanks

i put the content of a bure gold kit into an online calculator the advertised ABV was like 4.3 but the abv calculated was 3.8

what I wasn't sure about and wanted to look into because there's probably some calculator for, will the yeast handle extra sugar and how much can it take. i assume there's some calculation to calculating how much sugar/DME raise's the abv. like how much does 500 or 1000g increase it by? also, I...

hey, any advice on enhancing these kits? adding a ME enhancer? adding a little extra sugar to bump up the abv just a smidge? so on

I'm not trying to contradict you but I asked my mum who is a great gardener and she said there ready to plant now, this is the right to time buy and plant them. is she wrong?

Well, my thoughts were to find something you cant just regularly buy like a Fuggles or an EKG for example and try to grow that. I want to get a couple and see how they fair, honestly though I'm unsure which to get.

anyone got any Motueka or Nelson Sauvin, Bare Roots for sale? now those would be an interesting investment to grow. assuming they can acclimatise adequately.

ghostship do you know if you can use the inkbird a thermometer? while brewing. i can't seem to find my glass one so I'm wondering if i can invest in an ink bird to do two in one even if a new thermometer is only sub £10.

thanks, I think cold-resistant yeast might be the way to go. as much as im tempted to go down the buy all the gear rout, im trying to do this on a budget.

this seems more doable than this for someone new / just getting back into homebrew.

i got an amber ale, didn't stop to look if there were actually different kits. Does anyone know if there's more than one or are they all amber ale? I anyone was interested the kit is WOODFORDE'S WHERRY AMBER ALE & The sterilizer in the kit is Muntons Branded bruclens sterilizer cleanser and...

can confirm its £20 at my local Tesco's just picked one up for myself.

The Homebrew Challenge guy had a fix for that by using a special lid. sorry, couldn't remember which video specifically it was in.

here in the UK at the moment, the outside temperature where I live in the south hasn't risen above 0c in weeks. and the house stays at about 15c, should I be looking at getting a heater, Brew Belt Heater, heating pad, barrel sleeve? im worried its too cold to brew at the moment without them.

i totally understand if its cheap and bad its bad and cheap, its just a little while back I bought a young premium rum barrel-aged kit but while waiting for a friend to return our barrel's some rat snuck into the shed and had a field day so feel pretty stung by the unexpected loss. (they even...

sounds very interesting what's different about a "2 can" kit? and 26£ seem like a lot. sopose that comes with being a limited edition

i mean its also about accessibility, what's in stock and where. for instance, I can go pick up from brew UK instead of paying delivery, so that affects my choices. but I DO get what you mean.

il probably do one of Youngs basics (Even if none of them are really to my taste) to start with, then maybe do a mangrove jacks kit or a young premium ipa kit afterwards if things go well.

yeah that's what id probably go for but I dont have a Wilko near me so the delivery cost is £5 which really hikes its price. brew UK is close to me but their prices are higher than some other online retailers.

thanks for responding i started to think i was just shouting into the void. some of kits iv been looking at are. in stock Bad Cat Imperial Red & Evil Dog Double IPA look interesting but are 25£ Punk IPA Clone but its like 40£ so no! Mangrove jack kits Wilko IPA Brewing Kit out of Stock...
