The wife went down town today & came back with the above kit. It was only £10 so thinking she was doing me a favour bought it instead of the more well known kits. Anyway, i`ve got it now so what do you lot reckon i could do with it to improve it?
hong said:Ok cheers for the reply Klaus, will get that underway asap. So, just the contents of the tin, hot & cold water to dissolve, then add yeast is that really it?
hong said:Apart from the export have you done any other kits this way?
Cheers Klaus, reason i ask is because i have a mixture of sdifferent sized bottles. Got some 1 litre PET, some 2 litre PET, Newcastle brown ale bottles, Magners bottles etc. so i thought it would be easier to batch prime the whole lot when racking into the clean FV.klaus said:I have never batch primed for bottling, only bottle prime with 1/2 tsp of white sugar. For my Coopers Euro Lage in the keg I put in 100g of sugar. Maybe there is a rule of thumb for bottling? Perhaps 50g for 2 gallon, ca. 10 litres?

Cheers Stu, will do that.
Yeah will do, like i said it looks nice but when it came to racking into the clean FV, there were loads of bits floating round the top. Hopefully they will just fall into the bottom of the bottles and settle firmly.klaus said:Mine was almost clear at bottling time without any noticeable bits. Maybe the sediment got disturbed but I would expect to beer to clear rapidly. Follow the usual procedure, i.e. a few days in the warmth and then store away. I personally move my bottles straight to my understair storage which is quite cool, 16-18C but I leave the beer to mature for at least a month. Hope it turns out good.
