:thumb: Hello, I haven't been on the site for a while. I've made a few odd recipes this year so far ( all experiments ) but, my favourite is " Rhubarb, Marmalade and Ginger beer ". This is fantastic. It's been brewing in Ox bar bottles for the last two month's, be patient........... :rofl: I...

Hello, You will be ok I'm sure. Don't open any of the bottles if you are bringing back inside. If you want to put a little more sugar in them to get them going. Leave them inside for another week or two, then try a bottle again before more sugar is added. It's a good idea to have a tester bottle...

Good morning, Just a quick mail in to tell you about an " Owd roger type clone " I made up about two weeks ago and it's tasting good. I love the drink especially on a Wintery evening. I landlord at our local Marston's pub says it's hard to store in warmer month's so this is while I have made a...

Is it safe though............. :party:to mix that is...........

Hi fellas, Just a quick one before I go to work. I've just filled a few bottles with Geordie and Scottish heavy brews. I have about 10 pints or so of each left. Would it be safe to put these two brews together for a secondary ferment. I put an equal measuer of each in a glass last night and it...

:cheers: Homebrewers, The Edme stout is great. I added x2 value honey from Tesco, x1 Tate and Lyle black treacle, x1 small pack of Muscavado sugar and a large root of ginger ( shredded ). I left it conditioning for a month after a two week single fermentation. On opening nearly all the bottle...

Hello fellas, I just put an Edme superbrew bitter in the fermenter with a jar of honey. I'm hoping for a ready in x3 weeks job to see me into the New Year. Has anyone out there done a similar mix and how did it turn out. I've had a taste and it is very sweet with a bitter after taste, will the...

Hello fella's, To save money on bottling. Go to Tesco and purchase 2 litre bottles of there still water. The bottles are 17p each, you can use the water for your brew and bottle up safely. Throw the bottles away after drinking the contents. 17p is nothing really. That's what I do. You always get...

Hello, I work for Wilkinson and we had Youngs lager and bitter in, with the x2 cans. I paid £11 that's with discount. You did alright mate. These kits are super. I altered my bitters with a bit of Brazillian coffee. You can get drunk and sober up at the same time LOL. Your pictures and story...

Hi Mick, Got in from work today and put my kit together for this brew. The cocoa is very bitter on it's own, I made it as a solution so, it mixed in well. The sugar cane and black treacle, just over 450g LOL will certainly sweeten thing up. Oh yes plus the 1/2 tin of Golden syrup, I also much a...

:cheers: I have checked my brew for three days now and the hydrometre reading is the same. Everything is ready for bottling tomorrow. I'm quite impressed by this kit so, I got another today. I've mixed 1kg of Muskova cane sugar, tin of Green and Blacks organic cocoa and a tin of black treacle...

Everyone who has replied to me tonight thankyou. I reckon it is properly fermented. I will take another reading tomorrow morning. I'm really pleased with the taste so far, I reckon when it's bottled and primed it's going to be a little corker for Christmas. Cheers to you all. I'm looking forward...

Hello fella's, Well I took a reading and it's 1.010 at the moment and has been since early this morning. There is really no fizz at tasting. Cheers Mr.Beerbelly.

Thanks for answering. Hello. I have my brew in the spare box room. I haven't bothered with a thermometer. On my other brews I have wrapped a fleecy blanket and body warmer around, I've done the same on this brew. The radiator isn't on in that room so, it's quite a good room for brewing.

Hello, This is my first post. It's my third brew, hopefully ready for Christmas. I purchased an Edme Irish stout kit on Saturday, clean me fermenter and brewing equipment. I put the contents of the can to x 30 pints of water, x 1 tin of black treacle, x 1/2 tin of Golden syrup, x 500g Mollasis...
