hi from leicestershire

[stu brew]

I'm new to home brewing have started with two kits the first is a st peter ruby red ale . iv just put that in a keg and apart from using 2l to much water seems ok but still weak . will the taste get stronger in the keg if not it will make a good driver ale as is only 3% now .
the second after a lot of time on many forums is a Geordie bitter one tin kit that i have made up to 36 pint to make it a stronger ale and iv gone over to using an enhancer instead of sugar and so far is going well it had a start gravity of 1036 two days ago and its 1016 today so going well so far

Just bottled a ruby red kit myself .. one of my favourites !

Should still be nice even if slightly weaker than planned...

Once it's conditioned in the keg or bottles for a week or so in a warm (18 ~ 20C) place you can store it as cold as you like as long as it doesn't freeze !

Hi, im in Leics too :thumb:

Is your ruby red like a Hobgoblin? It's one of my fave ales and would love to be able to make something similar. I was drinking it in my local last night and it was in perfect condition :

Im brand new to this brewing btw... still not made a brew yet, but maybe tomorrow :pray:
