I have brewed a couple of beers from the Dark Rock Session range, namely Nectaron and India Pale Lager and have been very impressed with the results. Nectaron is superb and the IPL was even better. I'm tempted to try the Harris Essential pilsner and blonde just to keep stocks up during this...

Hi all, I have a question regarding conditioning of IPA type beers in a corny keg. After kegging, what temps should I store the beer at before it goes into the kegerator? I brew in a well insulated garage where the temp varies between 15 and 26'C across the year - if the brew fridge is free then...

Hi all, I'm after some advice as to what went wrong with a recent AG brew of a Landlord clone. I was brewing a typical Landlord recipe using my Brewzilla and the mash and boil went to plan - SG hit predictions and all appeared well. I fermented the wort using NBS Ale yeast (from Malt Miller) in...

I have purchased 225g of CML tropical England with the aim of brewing a hoppy ipa or neipa. CML description below: ENGLISH TROPICAL - 2020 crop • 5-8% AA. A mix of 5 English grown hops including Jester, Olicana, Godiva, Mystic & Archer that will infuse a tropical aroma into a refreshing English...

I'm after some advice please. I normally leave my FV for 2 weeks to ferment and clean up. However, if I want to add dry hops on days 3/4 of the fermentation then this would mean leaving the hops in for 10 days. Will this be ok or should I change my timings? or should I keg after 7/8 days? or...

Having made most of the 6 bottle Beaverdale range and a few Solomon Grundy fruit wines I thought for my 1st 30 bottle kits I would try the Harris range. I was thinking that the lack of a "brand" may mean that there was more quality to the kits. First up was the Chardonnay (unoaked) which I...

Hi, I'm relatively new to AG brewing and need some advice about adding Protafloc. Can I / Should I add it to every brew? So far, I have added it to every brew, but I'm about to brew my first wheat beer (Malt Miller Oberon) and wondered if there are any styles that I definitely shouldn't add...

Good evening all, I'm after advice please. I'm about to brew a BrewUK Lighten UP Helles lager AG kit. The instructions state to Ferment until complete then reduce temp to 3C for 4 weeks. Should I leave in the FV for this or should I put it in a Corny for this 4 weeks at 3c?

I've made an Italian style frizzante from a Beaverdale Chardonnay kit and this has turned out really well. It's persuaded me that I should look to brew a Prosecco type wine for next summer - and keep it in a corny My plan would be to use a 30 bottle Chardonnay kit and ferment with champagne...

I bottled this 6 weeks ago. My second ever brew. It is silky smooth, carbonated beautifully with 5grms sugar per 500ml. Probably a bit maltier than I was expecting and maybe not as bitter or as much dry hop kick as I like but still a very nice session APA. My wife & kids (adult), and friends...

I've made a handful of Beaverdale wine kits and been very happy with the results. I have only made the 6 bottle kits and bottled the wines after clearing. I'm looking to make a 30 bottle kit next and wonder if there is a good bulk storage and serving system - wine boxes etc? or is there...

Is there anything I can do to save a Festival Landlord kit that I have brewed at 25 ltr instead of 23 ltr. I inherited an FV from FIL and suffice to say that the litre graduations are 2 ltrs out. It's been fermenting for a week and there is still a little bit of airlock activity. I have about...

I've got a couple of Beaverdale wine kits which have completed fermentation. I've added the stabiliser and am currently degassing them. Do I need to add the Kieselsol and then Chitosan to clear them or can I just leave them to clear naturally? I'm not in a rush to bottle the wines so I'm happy...

Hi all, My first brew, Mad Millie Lager, has finished primary fermentation. I'm away for a few days so I'll leave it until the end of next week before doing anything with it. My question is, how should I proceed with the bottling? I'm looking to bottle but should I transfer to another FV and...

Good evening from a wet Leicestershire. Total newbie to homebrew so I've jumped in with a Mad Millie Lager, a Beaverdale Pinot Grigio (6 bottle) and a Beaveradale Rojo Tinto (also 6 bottle). All bubbling away nicely and can't wait for the bubbling to stop and attempt the next stage. Love...
