Flagship Hazy IPA please!! Love to give that a go. Actually any of the five look good. If you sent me the wrong one I would not complain!

I opened it, sniffed it (waste of time as my nose aint that great), tasted it (seemed about the same as a bottle I had already drank- or was there a slightly off flavour?? The mind started to play tricks...) drank half a glass, realised I had a slightly strange headache (or did I??), poured...

So the black dots were just fermentation, duh. Opened a bottle yesterday and this stuff is pretty good already!! Any thoughts on whether I should drink the bottle with the mould in it?? I'm seriously considering it... Hopefully all the other bottles are still good

Hi, I bottled my peach and passionfruit cider kit last Friday and noticed on Saturday that one bottle had a small black jellyfish floating on the top (see picture below). I set it aside and didn't see any issues with the other bottles. I assumed that I hadn't cleaned that bottle properly and...

Instructions in case useful

Hi, beginners question: Why do you substitute apple juice for 5L of water? What effect does that have? Thanks

Hello, Confusing myself again this afternoon (instead of just getting on with brewing!!). I've been reading information about back sweetening and pasteurization of sweet sparking cider. Does anyone know if this applies to the Young's Peach and Passion fruit cider kit? The box says it has a...

Hmmm...sleeping bag. Good point. I've got one kicking around somewhere...

Received a reply from Muntons: "Thank you for contacting Muntons. I apologise if the instructions were unclear on this particular kit. You can add the hop extract at any point during the brewing process, depending on your taste. I always add mine at the beginning as I like a hoppy aroma and...

Its a modern (8ish yr old) flat with loads of insulation and only a tiny bit of direct sunlight comes through the window in the morning and then its gone. The temp today has been steady at around 15/16, even though it has been around 24 outside. We do have the windows open and the french balcony...

Ok so blanket and stick on thermometer it is... Darn I wanted to make this today. Gotta wait for the postman again...

Thanks for taking to time to write and explain this. I've been a simple follow-the-instructions on the kit kinda person since I started homebrewing a few years ago but maybe its time to learn more about the process and how to pimp it up and even make from scratch. Plus making hops tea just...

Hello, Does anyone know roughly how much higher the brew temperature is than room temperature during the primary fermentation process? My rooms are all pretty much 15°c. Obviously I will have the starting temperature correct when I mix my warm and cool water and will check before adding the...

Thanks very much for your help. Your logic makes sense. Day four it is. If what I read elsewhere is correct, the sachet is mostly to add hop aroma, which is why you are saying that fermentation may drive it off. If I understand it right, the hop taste is able to be contained in the malt in the...

I ordered some wine kits and beer kit and basic equipment and they were great. Called me after about 10 days (website says 9 days processing) to ask if it was ok to replace one item that was out of stock. Delivered next day. Found them very friendly and helpful, unlike the DPD delivery driver...

Hello, I just received a Woodforde's Admiral's Reserve 32 pint kit and I'm a little confused by the instructions regarding the hop sachet. The box says "Add contents of hop extract sachet on day 4" after starting the fermentation. The sachet inside says "Add complete sachet prior to yeast"...
