Hi all, I have 2 x Muntons Hand Crafted kits on their way to me (Winter warmer and American IPA) I haven't tried any of the Muntons kits before, but have read some poor reviews of their standard/included yeasts Any recommendations for yeast replacements on these specific kits? Cheers Alan

Hi guys I’m about to do one of these Flagship kits for the first time and a general query re the hops.. The instructions say to just put them into the wort directly (at Phase 2) and then use the provided mesh bag as a filter for your syphon. Surely it would just be easier to use the bag as a hop...

Hi guys.... advise needed please Considering going BIAB or straight to an AIO setup. Have been looking at the the BrewMonk 30L AIO gear, but my fermentation kit is still also quite basic, the usual plastic fermentors etc. However Ive also been reading a lot on investing in the 'cold side' of...

Hi folks... Probably not the right section for this Q? About to bottle a Brewferm Strong Blonde... as its 'strong' i opted for glass 330ml fliptops, as all my PET bottles are 500ml which it too much for a strong beer :-) .... asking for trouble! Ive never used glass ones before - how much head...

Hi guys I have an empty FV just begging to be filled again :-) This time I thought id try a stout as I have yet to do one. Options are a little bit limited at the moment in my LHBS, but the following is what I have to choose from - any tips from anyone on a good one to go for or one to avoid...

Hi folks, Going to start my MJ brewers series APA (with the MJ LME pouch too) and was going to brew at the weekend. I Haven’t done this one before. I also have some left over hops to hand (citra, mosaic, cascade and Amarillo) about 50+g of each. should I try to pimp this kit a little or just...

Hi guys Brewed an extract based NEIPA on Apr 6th (1.061) and it’s already at 1.015 as of today the 11th!! So I rekon it’s pretty much done although I’m really amazed it is... if I chuck in my 2nd DH already tomorrow and leave for 3 days, is bottling on 15th going to be way too early?? Thats only...

Hi guys... Please don’t shoot the messenger 😂 But a buddy of mine has his 40th birthday coming up soon and asked if I could make him some larger that is close to Carlsberg (It’s one of his favorites from home and not that readily available here) I haven’t tasted it in years also so can’t really...

Hi all - I’m planning to attempt a 10ltr DME based NEIPA in a few days. The only yeast I have on hand is a 125ml bag of Wyeast London Ale III. Would a full bag of yeast be way too much as it’s only a half batch?

Hi guys I have a bunch of bottles just begging to be filled - but i've only enough empties to accommodate a 10-12ltr brew. Id love to try a fruity NEIPA - but i'm still only doing LME can brews so far. with some hops additions. Id be happy to try an extract + hopps experiment, I could...

Hi guys.. Ill be bottling next week and I would like to try fining using gelatin (my first time to try that). Is it ok to do that is the primary FV also? (I only have one FV) Does it need to be mixed in and will that risk disturbing the trub too much, or is it just poured in and it does it’s...

Morning all.... As the title says, i'm currently brewing a Bavarian Pilsner - using one of the 'Customise your Coopers Can' recipes from Aussiehomebrewing. Those recipes dont give any recomendation on the yeast to use so I assume they expect you to use the one that comes with the can. So me...

Hi all, So, this is my very first brew and very first post related to brewing .... so please be gentle! :-) I seriously cant wait to get started but am trying to curb my enthusiasm so that i do it right the first time (or close to right anyway). Ive purchased a Coopers kit and am going to go...
