    Is Wherry known for not achieving ABV?

    Mine started at 1038 and finished at 1012, so 3.41% well off target.

    Where can I get a rye ale extract kit?

    I made the Mangrove Jack's Rye IPA (Rye IPA - Limited Edition) which I really liked. They don't do it anymore. Anyone know where I can get something similar? The Yanks seem to go for this sort of beer: https://www.austinhomebrew.com/Extract-Rye-Ale-Kits_c_197.html

    Lager, NOT larger!

    Just saying... Lager : a beer (such as a bock or pilsner) that is brewed at cool temperatures by slow fermentation with a slow-acting yeast Larger : exceeding most other things of like kind especially in quantity or size

    Oxygenating wort

    I am making my first attempt at wine using a Winexpert Classic Chilean Malbec. The instructions just say to stir the wort. With beer I give it a vigorous beating but did as suggested. 24 hours later there is weak, intermittent bubbling, no krausen, just much less 'action' than I'm used to with...

    Recommend me a low alcohol (1% or less) commercial brew

    Does any brewery yet produce a beer under 1% which you are happy to drink? Jerry

    Young's New World Saison stuck on 1009.

    Instructions say to hop at 1008 and bottle at 1006, but hasn't moved for a week so doubt it'll go to 1006. Do you think it's finished at 1009 which would be 5.91ABV instead of 6.3?

    Recommend a pub crawl in Torquay from harbour to Torre station?

    Recommend a pub crawl in Torquay from harbour to Torre station? Anyone with knowledge of the pubs in TQ? Either historic or good beer? Bear in mind I'll be doing this on a Thursday. Thanks!

    All-day drinking beer kit?

    Is there a kit which gives a beer under 3%? Or, if I brewed a kit with twice the water would I get twice as much beer at half the stated ABV? Or would the taste be weak as well?

    Bit Concerned About My Young's Oaked Rum Ale

    Thanks to you blokes, my first ever brew, the Young's AIPA, came out well in the end, and I had no problem with my second brew, the Mocha Porter. This ORA, though, I'm not sure of. Been in FV two weeks, SG now steady at 1008, but it started at 1048 which I see is lower than the 1060 most people...

    Bottles and breweries

    If light is the enemy, how do some breweries get away with clear bottles? Eg. Newcastle, Badger Beers, etc.

    I think I may have cocked up my first brew

    I was given a Young's American IPA kit for Christmas, with FV and PB. Followed the instructions. Had vigorous bubbling for a few days, left it in FV for two weeks in warm, then in PB for two weeks in warm, now in the cold garage one week in so far. At all stages it has looked cloudy and not...

    Why is the Young's Porter kit 17.5L not 23L like their others?

    Does anyone know? And, what would happen if you made it 23L? (I'm very new to this, had Young's AIPA kit for Christmas which is out in the garage in the PB, fingers crossed) Jerry
