Some say add some Styrian Goldings as a hop tea, I dont know the quantities.

It was a **** series of programs, total waste of viewing time , in my opinion

If you used glass beer bottles it's possible the crown caps didnt seal properly when you capped them. perhaps you didnt use enough force with your capping tool.

Transfer it to a 2nd FV and leave it for a week then prime and bottle, if it is cloudy then it will help with clearing.

How about 'Congestion Charge Ale'? cant get more British than that!! very London too lol

I recently made this kit up I used 1Kg of brewing sugar, used the yeast that came with the kit. bottled it in Grolsch bottles everything was just fine. nicely chilled, tasted fantastic! :) The Cooper's yeasts are pretty good, I believe the one with this kit is a lager yeast and not an ale...

only 8 days....?? :) leave it for a few more yet, I leave mine in the FV 10-14 days.

rouse it a little, give the brew a gentle stir, try not to introduce to much air by agitation, just a gentle rousing will do

All the best with the brew... looks like you need a bigger brewpot tho

you could leave the hydrometer in the brew and take your readings from it as it floats there merrily :D many of us do..

This stuff LINK ?

Im blind in one eye, I'll do all the blind taste tests for you if you like. :D

how about Rinse when empty

Possibly, but only a Riggwelter :D

Cheers for the valuable advice and info Aleman, much appreciated. I have just acquired a CoolBox of a 'Recycle' group member, you know the type, its 20L capacity, will this do as a MT for 19L brews? or is it a little small. Am I right in thinking I need to 'batch-sparge' with this...

Hi folks, I want to move on from using kits, I've honed my skills at cleaning, sanitizing, re-hydrating yeast etc and think I should extend my skills and learning a bit. I have the usual ancillary equipment, thermometer, Hydrometer, large paddle/spoon I dont, as yet, have a insulated...

Yes, one of them, the stick comes off the tap, it just slides on/off. slip it off and slip it on the end of some tubing ;) The Young's bottling stick comes complete with tap too (bonus), not sure about others.

When bottling I use one of those 'bottling sticks' on the end of my siphon tube when siphoning out of a non tapped FV or DJ. I attach it to the tap on my other FV, easy and simple bottling
