This is great for me as HBS hours don't cover sunday need to get a elderflower cider on asap as going on holiday end of this month to the lake district

Do you know if this will be rolled out to other Brewdog Bars, as I have one in Birmingham, would be great if you could ask?

Silence of the lambs is a fictional film about a cannibal who is a wine connoisseur and a gourmet theres a famous quote where he says; "Don't test me Clarice, a census taker once tried to test me i ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti, (makes a sluping sound)" Do not add fava...

Got this for £10 Reduced. Was wondering what your thoughts were on it? Haven't had it before but fancied doing a banana beer with it, found a recipie which uses cooper mild. 12 over ripe bananas with 1tsp of Pectolase boiled for 30 mins then added to the kit with 1kg of normal sugar. How...

This seems quite an endeavor. Will be intrigued to see how it turns out Don't forget though £24.65 might not be your final total! As if it turns out to be a nice Chianti you will need some Fava Beans (£1.30 750g Tesco) :rofl:

I syphon off my fv into my keg, clean the fv (then syphon back into the fv) and put into the cold with a solid bung, then put into the keg primed with sugar or bottle from there. Sediment is frustrating in bottles particularly if giving to others who dont brew so crucial to reduce as much as...

You are not going to like the advice but here goes... There are Two key rules; patience & greed Both you will ignore at first (everyone does) Patience, its your first brew but once the bubbles stop the best thing to do would be to transfer to a second fv and then put it for another week...

Defintely flavoursome taste smooth but does pack a punch the next day...

Have cold crashed and used beer finings dont think we can escape heavy sediment on this one Am about to do my first ag 1gallon and am intrested to know more about bottles which throw a lot of sediment i suspect the ag crowd will help us on this one? Anyone?

Just read about the splender ( that makes sense) :oops:

Bottled this today and it still tastes very sweet but the reading has dropped down to 1005 which means an ABV 7.3% Its not very clear in the picture but this is very pale, has had a week in the second Fv (solid bung under pressure) with beer finings, and has thrown a lot of sediment. slightly...

Your Ginger beer recipe Sounds good may have to try it! If you want more body might be worth switching the sugar for spray malt which should give it a bit more depth. I think the trick is to always take an OG reading then you can dilute to strength (id aim between 1054-1060) and avoid bottle...

I think they have cleary been very generous with 7.1% abv on this kit. I've brewed to at least 25litres and have readings coming in at 6.9% Mine has been racked and is clearing with a bung at room tempreture since saturday 11/01/14 It is surprisingly pale but does smell great. Although at...

I've only used one packet, of hopps but thats because im not mad about too much hopps the later you add them the hoppier it is. I added mine after day 3

Got to say smells lovely even at this stage, obligatory testing of the hydrometer vase says this will be a lovely summer beer. Shame it won't last that long :rofl:

So target destination reached 1008 after a week happy with that. Now my next step is unknown I'm considering racking to a second FV then adding youngs beer finings However ive never used beer finings before should i cap off with a bung or leave the airlock in place before bottling? And do i...

Not quite sure i think the maths is linear so you should be okay based on the difference but don't forget to take into account the extra at the end ie you may still have some further to go

have you checked you Hydrometer in Water? sounds a bit low to me at 23ltrs. That or you didnt stirr enough before measuring?

So I've just put this on today and quite excited my starting gravity is 1060 i have however brewed it far longer as didnt want it too high and would prefer the extra beer! :drink: Lets hope I've done the right thing :wha: will be putting the hops in early too

Done their elderflower cider a couple of times and always has favourable reviews from people I give it two they do a few flavoured kits so i expect that has something to do with the fact that their straight cider is a bit bland. Perhaps try boiling down to reduce, some normal apple juice and...
