Cheers @jeg3 and @Poddyc. All great new knowledge this.

Yes, mine went mental too. I was washing the airlock every 20 minutes at one point.

Thank you @Scottyburto, @Poddyc (got your name right now) and @darrellm . I did just follow the instructions. I will be more attentive to my future brews. @Davegase it was my own personal requirement of a stout that made me judge it too fizzy. Thanks for the info. Keep the info coming please...

This is all brilliant info and knowledge everyone clapa. Thank you. I've increased my brewing vocabulary too. I too shall be cracking, and stirring, a couple tomorrow for St. Paddy's Day. I was nervous posting thinking that I had done something stupid, and I have in a way. Well, naive. I...

Thanks for the info and calculator @Poddyc. It looks like I need to read up on priming. I put the same amount in as I had with my previous IPA, so no wonder it's fizzy. I just followed the levels suggested on the pack pamphlet, but I realise now that is just a generalisation. It's not beer...

Thank you Leon103. I'll try those. I was hoping for a better drink than that Arcs :beer1:

Hello everyone. I've just put a Mangrove Jack's Irish Stout (following the kit recipe) into the garage for the last 7 days of conditioning, that was bottled 10 days ago. Obviously had to test it. It's too fizzy for a stout. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can calm it down...

I'm in.

Cheers mate. Without wanting to sound too big headed its lovely.

My first brew, a Mangrove Jack's Juicy IPA. Very pleased with it. Fruity with a slight bitterness.

Hello everybody. I am a virgin brewer, having been bought a kit for Christams by my wife, following the advice of a member on here the fuzzy growler. My first attempt, a Mangrove Jack's Juicy IPA, is bottled and sat in a bedroom. Then in a week and a half I plan to transfer it to the garage...
