MmmBeer, many thanks will take your advice, and post result, this is my next brew, after Young’s American Pale Ale has finished.

I am brewing a Coopers IPA, would like to improve on the standard kit by adding, brewing sugar, DME, Wilco Gervin yeast, plus 100 grams crystal malt and 4 ozs of flaked barley. My question is regarding the crystal malt and flaked barley, how do I prepare them to add to my fermenting barrel...

Have just bottles Festival Golden Stag, tried it and it tastes quite citrusy, but I will try and wait a couple of weeks before I have a pint, this will not be easy. Last night I had one of my last 5 bottles of Wilco Newki which I bottled in January, only changes were 1KG of brewing sugar and...

Terry, many thanks. P.S. How do you put a photo of a drink, on the forum?

Terrym, the Wilko Newkie is not in my opinion sweet at all, but everybody has different taste.

Ninja, the can was the Wilko Newkie Brown Kit.

I have just come back from a 6 year lay off. The Wilko Newkie Brown, I bottled 4 weeks ago is tasting very good, and would recommend it to anyone. 1 Can of malt extract 1k of Wilko brewing sugar 1 Wilko Gervin ale yeast Brewed from S.P. 1.045 down to S.P. 1.010...

Have just come back to brewing after 6 year lay off. I first tried the Wilko Winter Warmer as kit and it was a good pint. The next one to try was Wilco Newki which I added brewing sugar instead of white table sugar, the result was a fuller bodied brew which was excellent, one I will definitely...
