Awesome cheers Roddy, if not I'll blame you as the next batch to secondary and condition is your recipe lol

Hi All, As the title suggests this is what I have done with my latest cider kit. Is this fine or would the fridge be too cold for conditioning? Cheers

Great thread this one roddy, Quick question about the pectolase, is it 100% nesessary or will it just result in a cloudier brew if not used? Cheers

Great post mate, much more reassuring than the instructions you get with the kits.

Hi guys, I had a coopers euro lager kit that went flat in a pressure keg and re-priming hasn't worked.- I think as I didn't repair the keg properly. So as I got a bit side tracked with getting a cider kit ready ready for xmas I have just left the lager in the keg in the garage wondering...

Hi guys. I've just tasted my raspberry and mango cider kit for the first time and it's really nice, mega chuffed with my first cider brew [emoji1] . However I just wondered what you guys recommend for secondary fermentation? I followed the instructions and added the exact amount of sugar and...

Hi all, Just a quick question ahead of my bottling tonight I have bought a bottle buddy to try and a new bucket but not had chance to fit it yet. Does anyone know off the top of their head the size of the hole that I would need to drill to install it? Cheers

Sounds great mate, I really want to try making some turbo cider where did you get the idea of putting raisins in it ?

Sounds good buddy, Keep me posted on how it turns out I'm going to have a bash at something similar but with the polish cherry syrup when I get my hands on a demijon

So, went to try it yesterday and its still flat!!!! After the initial spurt of profanity I began to think about what could have caused this as I am pretty sure that there is not leaks from the barrel. Then, I can remember seeing the temp strip on the keg never going any higher that 18...

Long and Low :mrgreen: ha ha i like that Great stuff that's what i'll do then, in your experience has it ever taken longer than 14days for a kit to complete fermentation? Would there be any harm in leaving it any longer say for three weeks? Cheers

Hi All, I started my first cider kit on the 30th of October and although the instructions that came with the kit stated that fermentation could be finished within a week (last Friday), from previous experience with a lager kit I found that fermentation had only just finished after two weeks...

So far so good on the seal. It took a few attempts and some colourful words but it's been re-priming since Friday and not leaked out any beer (touchwood) so hopefully it is holding pressure. I'm not after loads of carbonation just a little tingle. Do you think that 7 days will be long...

Same problem that I am having with the exact same keg. I brought mine into the warm ready to secondary ferment again after it leaking out the top and noticed it leaking out the tap seal now :shock: Going to try and repair the seal tonight and fingers crossed it will hold the pressure when it...

I think 5 - 7 days should do it buddy.

Thanks for the advice speccy, will I need to leave the lager to condition for another 12 weeks even though it was approx 3 months after the initial priming and kegging?

Thanks for the advice guys it's given me a confidence boost as I really want to start enjoying my brew. I am going to bottle my batch of cider that I will be starting in the FV next week and I think I will just use the pressure keg for bitter beers rather than lagers. I wish that I had not...

Hi all, New to the forum so sorry if this has been covered before. My first brew was a european lager kit and everything went well during the fermenting process and I decided to opt for a pressure keg from Balihoo to store my brew. I added 75g of priming sugar mixed in with 300ml of...

Hi all, New to homebrew after my wife bought me a kit for Christmas. Looking forward to homebrew chat and advice
