If you use Lidl red grape juice in your WOWs and enjoy it and your local Lidl has some in stock buy it quick 'cause they are stopping selling it. There was none in my local store today and what looked to be a manager type bod told me they will no longer be selling it. I assumed this is...

Once owned an Escort van but never the car. My first car was an Anglia which, if i am not mistaken, the Escorts predecessor. I was of course a great fan of Escort magazine but that's a different story.

Wilko Velvet Stout with minor tweaking 23l Total = 1330

I haven't been that enamored with any of the Coopers kits. I have done the stout, A.P.A, and finally and also my last Coopers kit English Bitter. I haven't thrown any away but of all the kits i have done these are probably my bottom 3.

Use to really enjoy American football back in the day when C4 first started showing it. It use to be screened at a time which coincided, accidentally i would imagine, with us getting back home from watching our local rugby league team. Trying to remember without googling of a few names. Marino...

Ah! Thats were i am going wrong then. Thanks.

I see a few of us have bought these now and wondering how others are doing with theirs as i seem to be having a bit of an issue. I currently have a Wherry, of all the brews it could have been, on the go and i could not get it much below the dreaded 1020 on the refractometer despite using a...

Tried mine out yesterday, an excellent bit of kit. By the way, did anyone else receive a set of battery operated fairy lights along with the refractormeter or did they mix my order up?

Sorted. Took the cylinder and valve back to the HBS and there is nothing wrong with either the valve or the cylinder. The cylinder worked perfectly well with a different valve and visa versa. Apparently, according to HBS guy, this happens occasionally were valve and cylinder are bizarrely not...

Wondering if any of you had had this problem. Bought a new Hambleton Bard refill today and when screwed onto the s30 valve nowt is happening. Cylinder is full, checked by pressing center pin, and s30 valve worked perfectly with previous cylinder. Its as if the cylinder is not screwing far enough...

Kaspersky have apparently been spying on this forum for a while now and even they don't know how to get a Wherry kit past 1020 using the kit yeast.

Not heard "sixpence and half-crown" for yonks. Well done sir.

Yes it can drop down a bit where i have to have my fermenting bucket. I have no real means of being able to control the temperature. I still seem to get stuff thats drinkable though eventually.

Not had a school day since 2002 so every night is drinky night if i fancy it. Which invariably i do. Admirals Reserve tonight as it was last night and will probably be tomorrow.

If its any consolation i am into my 4th week with the same brew and around the same stage as you.

Oh! The amount of people that feel like that. Me included. The fella makes my skin crawl now.

Seem to recall somewhere in this thread for 1L -RGJ + 1.5L Apple. What was the sugar adjusted down to please? Cant find the original post. Ta.

Titanic Plum Porter. Hopefully i wont get the dogs abuse for this choice as i once did on a FB real ale group, or perhaps i might. I still chuckle at the state some of them got themselves into over my opinion of this overrated sickly sweet concoction.:whistle:
