    Sterilizing

    Is there a better way or simpler way of sterilizing my fermenting bucket other than filling it to the top with warm water and using 5 teaspoons of VWP powdered sterilizer or is this a fool proof method. I do this twice in a batch process to run the the finished brew into another bucket to bottle...

    Using wheat spray malt

    Thanks , how many grams per litre of beer are required in that case . You say standard suger ? Is it not the case that standard sugar is not broken down that easy by any remaining yeast , or does it not matter at the conditioning stage .

    Using wheat spray malt

    Thanks, the shop threw in the wheat spray malt as the kit said that extra fermentables were required , so they owed me and it’s thrown me really. I’ve never used that before . Any way 10 days later it still bubbling away and I’m waiting to put hops in

    Using wheat spray malt

    Secondly , if after fermentation, and I transfer to a second bucket to mix priming sugar, would I be able to dissolve carbonation drops in a quantity of hot water therefore cutting down on one drop to half of these as I am getting too much fizz on opening bottles. Am I finishing the initial brew...

    Using wheat spray malt

    Presently brewing Mangrove’s Juicy sessions. I have added wheat spray malt with it . The advice given for adding hops is to wait till SG is below 1.020 assuming this Spray malt is a brew enhancer. Would this be an accurate assumption?

    Going back to my thread 3/4 up , I put hops in by mistake and then yeast , 6 days long , does anyone think that maybe I should pull the hops out or just leave . From 1.042 after extra castor and hops and yeast I read 1.030 sg.

    Hydrometer is sitting at 1.030, does that not tell me there is enough

    Kits I Wouldn't Brew Again (moved posts)

    So how do I resolve this quickly as the 23 l brew is ready to take yeast. If I was to introduce castor sugar dissolved , would that help . Surely if the kit is sold thus it would cover all needs into one ?

    Kits I Wouldn't Brew Again (moved posts)

    Ah got my order wrong , it is in fact Juicy Session IPA , Woohoo! Wait must add , it says that I should use extra fermentables such as malt liquid extract , surely that's the kit you get. Ill ask supplier.
