It was planned to be a xmas beer, so it would be 5-6 weeks old. I've brewed around 10 kits now, but never had one take this long to clear.

Plan B then. Empty the fridge, so my keg fits in 😬👍

Doh! 😂 It's definitely gassed up 😬 I'll leave it in the kitchen for a bit, and see how it gets on 🤞

I did their Pilsner recently, can't remember the exact name, but I thought it was spot on. So much so, I bought it again, along with their IPA 😎

Carbed? Please elaborate It's very lively when I pour it, as it usually it out of my keg. It's in the kitchen now, which is a bit warmer then my garage. How long did it take to work? It was meant to be a Christmas beer, but I have plenty of bottles I've brewed, so no rush for it 😁

Hi all, I kegged a Pilsner 4 weeks ago in my garage. I didn't put it somewhere warm for a few days. I thought it might just take a bit longer to condition. What should I do? Should I warm it up now? Or leave it a bit longer????

I was just going to stick it in my FV with an airlock on top 😬 the rhubarb is currently in the freezer 👌do I need to add water? Or it is fine just to brew using the juices alone?

Hi all, I've been given a load of apples, pears and rhubarb. How should I go about making cider from them? I don't have a press, I normally brew from kits. I have a sachet of cider yeast. Suggestions on a postcard please....

Panic over, it's on its way now 😎 It's half way there 👍 bottling up day on Sunday hopefully 😁

Hi all, I started a kit off on Sunday. I've never done a wobbly god before. I was confused as to weather or not I add sugar, because the kit didn't say "don't add sugar for fermentation" or "now add your 1kg of sugar", it just said use sugar for priming bottles/keg. So I didn't add sugar...

I did discuss this with Terry via PM recently, which we both agreed on... So keep your water level a bit lower than your brew level. As for bacteria growth? You could treat the water with your normal cleaner???

When you say rhubarb added, do you mean just throw in some rhubarb? I have some rhubarb in the freezer, that has been chopped to inch long bits. Just chuck that in? Or do something else to it first?

I'll just tell them it medicinal 😂

I've just sampled a bit, and it seems to have saved it, and it's drinkable 😎 However, my super 30 bottle just ran out! 😭 My nearest proper homebrew shop is 10 mile away. I hope its classed as essential travel 😬

I have one of the big bottles, about 7-8" long I think. I'll probably need a refill on it soon, I've had it a while

I don't have a pressure gauge. Is the pressure relief seal (elastic band) rated to 10psi???

I have actually managed to bodge the seal air tight for now. I had to use some grips to get the leverage 😬. Does the co2 takes a while to work?

You lot are quick off the mark on this one! 😂 However, I've hit a stumbling block 😭 It's flat! My seal is old, and it let all the build up of pressure out 😭😭😭 I primed the keg with 85g. So, can I fit new seal, and put it somewhere warm again for 2 days? Do I need to add more priming sugar...

Well in that case, once I've finished this, my last can of Rheinbacher Pilsner from Aldi, I'll wack one off 😂

Hi all, my Tom Caxton ale was in the FV for a week, and now in the keg for 5 days. How soon have people poured a pint after brewing, without it tasting vile? It says 14 days to condition. What's the odds on not regretting having one this weekend???
