Thanks all! I'll give the 2l PETs a go. 2l's a go, it's a good excuse :)

I have had a lager in a barrel for a few days now and there is a leak where the tap connects to the barrel. Whats the best thing to do as I don't have enough bottles and it needs to get fizzy. I have 40 pints of the stuff. Would 2 litre PET's work? Just need it to fizz and mature. Thanks

Hey, anyone got a good recipe to make a base wash. Sort of between 15-18% using Youngs super wine yeast. Thanks

I found a shop in west london that does it for £3.99 for 500g. Is that a decent price?

It was Liquid Activated Carbon by alcotec. Got it off eBay.

would the youngs spraymalt light be any good?

Hey all, I have a Coopers Mexican Cerveza beer kit and it says to use a 1Kg brew enhancer 2 or 500g of light dry malt + 250g sugar. Is that necessary or could I just use 1Kg of sugar instead?

Hey all, I made a wash and after stabilising and adding activated carbon the liquid went black. I added finings the next day and after 3 days now not much has changed. It's still very black and not cleared much. Any ideas guys?

Thanks all. Some good advice.

I just wondered what I should or shouldn't do to avoid oxidising wines?

Thanks all. I put in 1.60kg at the start now and got an OG of 1.124. So looking for about 17.6% I think. Just straight up yeast, water, nutrient and sugar. Going to take some good advice from here and add Sodastream apple syrup and some malic acid to make it sour apple. Probably some green food...

thanks oldbloke that's perfect!

I have started a brew I want to get as strong as possible so I added 1 kg of sugar to a dj at the start and after 4 days will add another 1 kg split over 5 days every 2 days. I want to do this so the yeast can get used to the alc levels increasing. My main concern is how do I judge the alcohol...

If I'm adding sugar everyday how can I judge the alcohol strength? Not sure on this one.

Would you say malic or citric acid would be better to make it very sour. I want this like one of those really sour sweets you get.

Thanks bobsbeer. So for 5 litres just use 1 tsp of yeast and 1kg of sugar. then the next day onwards just add 200g until the second kg had gone? Or should i leave it a few days before i start adding the sugar? Will 1kg be too much to start it off do you think? Sorry for all the questions...

I just wondered how high I could push the VinClasse super wine yeast compound to the limit? I was thinking of: 1, Using a clean jug, dissolve 1 kg of sugar into 1 litres of boiling water. Cool then add this to the fermenter. 2, Add cold water until the dj is half full and then shake well. 3...

Sorry i just meant something to a similar strength and flavour it if possible.

Hi, I want to brew something similar to vodka. I will use most of it with mixers but I want to use a litre or so as shots. I have been looking for a sour apple or blackcurrant to make it similar to something from the Sourz brands. I can find standard apple and other essences but I wanted...

Hi, Just finished my first wow to the guide and it just tastes like it has too much alcohol. Not enough flavour. I have back sweetened to medium dry and it came out at 13% abv. Any ideas?
