    Used to be a professional brewer and just inherited a load of homebrew kit..

    Hello again everyone, I return to you with good news! I had a very enjoyable time skip diving, found loads of really useful stuff, and then, when I'd lost hope that I'd find the controller, my neighbour came round and handed it to me. It had been packed up in a box and he'd just discovered it...

    Used to be a professional brewer and just inherited a load of homebrew kit..

    Well, I've done a preliminary search of the skip, and although I've not found the controller yet, I did find a few more brewing accoutrements, including the missing lid for my new water heater. I also found a load of other useful stuff, including lots of cycle tools, a car battery charger and...

    Hi everyone - many thanks for the warm welcome and encouraging words! @Rodcx500z - many thanks for that link. Yes indeed, that looks to be the thing. I shall buy it if the controller doesn't show up. I had a word with the neighbour and he thinks the controller may have been mistakenly put...

    Newby fermentation worries

    Hi there, Good choice - I rate the Tom Caxton kits very highly amongst the 'one-can' kits. I've got some very good results. You don't mention adding any sugar to the brew - you did do that didn't you? If you followed the instructions and boiled the right amount of water (think it's around...

    A couple of questions about brewing ales/bitters from kits..

    Many thanks for the really useful replies folks - Exactly what I was after! Good idea also about making a bit of the darker stuff, you may well be onto something there - I think we are going to make three or four kits, across the colour spectrum so it's certainly not out of the question. If...

    Hello everyone, I'm new here but have been brewing beer kits for quite a number of years with quite a lot of success, well at least my friends and family tell me it tastes acceptable and gives them the desired effect! I'm interested in making sure I'm getting it as good as I can because a...
