I put 2 ipa kits in the fermenter, added the hops after 7 days as instructed. Still bubbling after 6 weeks, wondering if l should add more hops when it finally stops or just bottle as is. Any ideas ?

Never been but the kit makes a good pint

Try stonewall bitter fromYork brewery or their other kit Yorkshire terrier. Both nice.

Thanks for the replies, think l know where l am now

Dissolved it in boiled water

After brewing and checking with hydrometer twice to make sure it has finished, l transfer my brew to a secondary fermenter with 80g of sugar, my brew starts bubbling again. Do l bottle it or wait till it stops again? Any help appreciated.

Try milestone dark galleon for a dark beer that's almost a stout, or milestone dasher the flasher for a more ruby coloured kit. Both are superb.

Haven't done the donner & blitzed but done dasher the flasher twice and it's my joint favourite along with dark galleon.

Thanks for that Chippy, I've now got a new one.I also bought an Essencia 7 gallon fv which has a lid so tight you need to be Samson to get it off. I,ve done 2 brews in it so far. 1st one bubbled for four weeks-2nd one for three and a half weeks which makes me think that two weeks isn't really...

yes i found the same with the 5 gallon young's fermenter being a bit flimsy in the lid area so i bought a 7 gallon essencia fermenter from hop & grape. now i have a problem stopping it bubbling. since i got the new one i've done a munton's ipa and an american oaked rum ale. the first one...

peas........

No need to stir normally.

Yes, I was surprised to find a bag of dust in my kit. Suppose it must be ok if they're all the same.Mine's bubbling away at the moment and the kitchen smells quite rummy.

You can use either but brewing sugar is better

Help. - Munton's gold I.P.A. still bubbling at 28 days. Any ideas?

Just wondered if anybody had any ideas of what to do with trub rather than chuck it away?

I agree Chippy. I bought a Young's fv but it was a lot flimsier than the richies ones so I looked online for a Richies one but their site seems to be shut down. Maybe they've stopped trading?

Forgive my ignorance but what is cream ale. Can you buy it as a kit (If so which ones) or do you have to do extract or all grain? :wha:

Just finished drinking this and I found it to be a nice summer drink but it was way over carbonated after I batch primed with the recommended 150grms although others have found it to be flat using 80grms, so maybe best to go somewhere in between. maybe 110-120grms?

I'd just leave them mate. A week isn't long enough for it to clear and condition. It needs at least 2 weeks, preferably more. Try one in about a week and you should notice the difference.
