    Brewmaker Best of British Yorkshire Bitter

    In the end, I did it to the full 5 gallons, and got a hydrometer reading of 1037 at 29.8C. Converting this down to 20C, I get 1040. I also added a little extra yeast just to see if that makes any difference. The sachets in these kits seem a little on the mean side.

    Brewmaker Best of British Yorkshire Bitter

    Woodfordes Wherry Review

    I began a Wherry kit on 25 May, and made it up to four gallons, with an OG of 1046. I bottled last Tuesday with 80g of brewing sugar and an SG of 1014, so that's roughly 4.3% ABV. I've sampled a couple of bottles and all seems to have gone very well. A very nice hoppy aftertaste. I used the...
