    Re: Festival Razorback IPA

    I've had a break from kit beer brewing but have got this one in the fv right now, it's been in for 2 weeks and it's down to 1.012 the instructions say it should be 1.005, will it go down that far do you think? I drank the trial jar and it tastes bloody lovely!

    Cider yeast, how much do I add?

    Hi all, doing a 1 gallon cherry syrup turbo Cider, using 4 litres of AJ and half a Lowitz cherry plus all the other ingredients. How much yeast do I need? One 10g sachet is good for 5 gallons so will 3g do the job? I can keep the rest for other brews or do I need more? Thanks

    Your 'go to' wine kit?

    Hi there, I was just wondering what you guys (and gals) would call your 'go to' wine kit? The one you know produces consistently good results that you brew over and over? Cheers Glen

    You said there would be more . . .

    Mistakes!!! Hi guys, newbie here, again! I don't know why I did it but I did. I meant to rack off my wine before adding the stabiliser and then stirring with my de-gassing wand but for some reason I didn't rack it even though I had the clean demijohn ready. By the time I realised I had stirred...

    Wine not clearing???

    I bought a couple of Wilko Wine kits (black cherry and Cab Sauvignon) on a bit of a spur of the moment decision before Christmas and immediately started them off. They fermented at 20 degrees. I racked them into the secondary about a week and a half before Christmas. They've not cleared, I've...

    Wine not clearing.

    Slight hijack but it's along the same lines, I racked 2 demijohns of kit red wine over 2 weeks ago and it's still not clear. The spot I'm keeping it in is about 17 degrees Celsius. I'm new wine making so not sure if I'm doing something wrong or it just takes longer than it says on the instructions?

    My first brewing disaster

    Oh dear I feel such a fool, I was brewing a coopers Australian pale ale kit when I decided to add some hops to it. I didn't need to as it tasted nice already. I added bramling cross in a muslin bag. Took them out after a week so it could clear. Well I've looked at it today with a view to...

    Hi all, I've got a Coopers Oz lager kit to get on but I'm thinking of hopping it up a bit. Have any of you guys got any recommendations? I'm thinking Citra? or Pioneer? Also what method would you use to hop the brew? I like hoppy 'summer' type ales so ideally I would be aiming for that...
