If your after the lime twang why not hop it with some kazbek

Give Morley home brew a call they may sell that starsan stuff, I just use Milton fluid. You my find a siphon retaining clip useful £1.80 and a bottle filling tube it auto starts/stops between bottle £3? I'd give it 3 days in the secondary to settle out, before your final batch prime. Your...

Hi Willy, personally I'd recommend the milestone equipment kit over the woodfords equipment kits as the equipment is far superior imo. The woodfords kits comes with the popular 40 pint wherry beer unfortunatly I forget which beer the milestone comes withas i swapped my beer kit for a festival...

IMO the 10 day fermentation period that is stated in the instructions is ment as a guide, always go with the hydrometer. Would strongly recommend you place in a secondary for a few days after the initial fermentation process to settle out (you'll be glad you did this) for reasons I stated in...

I'll have to give it a go, where in Huddersfield is it

Been in the garage for just over a week now, just couldn't help myself. :thumb:

My festival Razorback IPA ..... BONZER!

Using a secondary FV for 4/5 days in a cooler place works for me. But with beer once bottled leave in warm place for 3 weeks to carbonate, not yet done a cider. Did once try a small in-line fuel filter that I use for my boys karting did the job well, but ended up with flat beer. You can over...

Haha yeah, 3 fv's @ 25L and 2 FV's @ 15L 1 king keg with a posh tap and more bottles from my local(s) than you could shake a stick at. 25L fv's £7/£8 @ Wilco at the moment drilled a 14mm hole to fit a grommet and valve in the lids. Festival razorback and golden stagg, Bruferm diabolo, Brewpack...

Firstly I too am new to this on my 4th kit in 1 month. I've always used a secondary FV for 3/4 days for one resone only to reduce the amount of sediment that ends up in the bottle/keg and it's worked, it's not harmed my beer. So hopping yours during using the same method I can't see how it...

Many thanks Rob. Hopped tea it is then. Would I be best doing this at the start of the fermentation process say 50g? of hops in a strainer bag into 500ml of boiling water and add it to the wort or do the same again but let cool but add the tea in the last few days of fermentation. Thanks for...

Just taken a quick sample of mine from the keg, it been in the spare room now for too weeks and I'm just about to put it in the garage for the final couple of weeks the 'bang' of bitterness has almost gone very clear and very drinkable could do with a little more fizz I'm hoping this will...

Just picked up the wilko cerveza the other day £8, not expecting too much from this kit from the reviews it sounds like it needs kick some va-va voom. Was thinking about dry hopping it with some Kazbec hops from the malt miller link above..... 'A Czech hop that impart refreshing zesty lemon...

The Brighouse branch as now sold out as I've just got the last one. :tongue:

If you feel you lost fermentation time due to the cooler temp don't worry about giveing it a little longer in the FV. Would recommend you getting a turkey baister from wilkinsons £1 allows you to remove a sample with the minimal amount of intrusion from FV into your trial jar (remember to...

Agreed gav yet to hear a bad report about the festival kits appart from people that have made brewing 'errors' with them. just bought the golden stagg and the landlord, gotta feeling 2014 is going to be a good one! :D

Got an early christmas present of a milestone brew kit my first kit I've made is the razorback IPA fermented for almost 3 weeks hopped for four days but didn't want to clear Was also alarmed at how much sediment maffa had in his bottle, so placed in a secondary FV in a cooler place for a few...

OMG! So the 25deg I pitched the yeast at was way too high, have I damaged the yeast/batch? New to all this home brew stuff, like to dive in head first!

Just knocked up a batch today, has anyone given this a try yet? Any good, I know the larger kits can be a little hit and miss. No review as yet on this forum.
