West coast IPA please

Just pored my first glass of admiral reserve two days after bottling!! Couldn’t wait lol, bloody awesome pint, now here’s one for the experts out there, considering Im only two days in from bottling I’m assuming this is going to get stronger with more time? So as it’s originally a 32pint kit...

Hi all, I’m loving this stuff, and thinking this will do me for rest of my days lol, SO is there a cheaper way to make it? I’m no brewing expert so be gentle, I only ever buy kits from Wilco etc, but it’s got me thinking you must be able to buy the malt ( if you know exactly what malt it is) so...

Let us know what it’s like, and did you add the hops first or on the fourth day?

Just started my admiral yesterday, I’m concerned now after reading this should I follow the instructions and add the hops 4 days in or what?

H guys, getting a bit bored with washing bottles so looking for a small pressure barrel, 5L? I’ve seen the steel ones but a bit concerned about cleanness after a while, so anyone know if there’s a plastic one on the market? I don’t want full size as I don’t really want to have to drink it all at...

Oh sh#t!! I hate the taste of chlorine 🤮 oh we just have to wait and see?

This is the one I’ve used, and tbh it says on the box rinse hands after use! Which I didn’t read!! Doh 40 pints later??

Should I be worried about bottling my beer before the bottles have dried after sterilisation?

Hi guys, I’ve got a MYO ipa on the go, it’s abouts 9 days in and i added the hops (pellet) form a day ago, the instructions say bottle at 10 days or when fermentation finished, my concer is the hops have created a thick 1/2” crust over the top, do I try and scoop this off before bottling or just...

Thanks very much for your offer, unfortunately I live down near selsey on the coast so a little too far, but thanks again thumb.

Any problem with using clear then? Also I’m using plastic at the moment but wondering how long it’ll be before the plastic taints the beer?

Hi guys, where’s the cheapest place to buy swing top bottles? Thanks

Hi guys, just bought a MYO ipa kit and the instructions are saying dextrose sugar, is it really necessary or can I use granulated sugar?

Woodfordes wherry question, hi guys brewed a couple of wherry skits now and been well satisfied with the results, one thing I’d like to improve on though is doing away with the fizz, at moment I’m adding half a teaspoon of sugar to the bottle when bottling, I know this is going to sound silly...

Ok thanks, it was just concerning me because the previous batch I made was totally different colour at this stage, maybe because I added a little extra sugar this time?

Ok guys I’m two days in and the colour is not looking good, it’s gone a coffee/ tan colour which is different from the first batch I brewed, anything wrong?

Excuse my ignorance but what is dme? Also is it safe to add the sugar now , considering I mixed the malt and yeast this morning.

Hi guys, recently brewed a wherry kit and it’s now drinking:beer1: absolutely awesome!! Nice malty taste, so good I’ve just put another 40 pints on this morning, just wondering though is there a way of getting the alcohol vol up a little? I’m a newbie to brewing so be gentle pleaseathumb..

Yes 375ml bottles, what I mean about being fussy is a glass of beer with a inch head on that ends up all over your face when drinking is not in my book real ale, not being funny but most good old real ale pubs have the barrel on its side and the ale trickles out without the use of gas, few...
