    Brewing half of a beer kit

    Hi All, I have a few Mangrove Jacks brewing kits to do but don't necessarily want 23litres of each in one go. Is it possible to brew half a beer kit with half the recommended DME, priming sugar etc and store the other half of the kit? If so, how is it best to store a once opened kit...

    Cani stir my bin after adding the yeast?

    Hi All, Relative newbie here. I have just put a Coopers brew on which gave a low OG reading of 1.032. I have made the same brew twice before and got 1.038 both times.

    Pen for lableing brown glass bottles

    Hi All, Does anyone have a good type/brand of pen to write directly on to the bottles? Something that will stay on and wont smudge but will easily come off in the wash? I have read about chalk pens or oil based paint markers. Any experience of a good pen for the job anyone? Thanks!

    Murkey IPA

    Hi All, Bit of a newby here. I have made an IPA from one of Ritchie's festival beer range. It tastes great! But the first half of the 500ml bottle is lovely and clear, while the second pour is murkey and muddy. They have been sitting in the bottle for 2 weeks. Do I need to let them sit longer...

    Brewing temperature - consistently warmer or fluctuate?

    Hi Everyone, First time brewer here! So I have a Coopers Canadian Blonde on the go. My setup is a fermentation bin in a water bath with an inkbird temperature controller and an aquarium heater. I have a target temperature set at 20 degrees (a good temperature for this brew I am told). Trouble...
