So I've done a few beer kits now mostly the woodfrdes wherry, and none have turned out that great to be honest, all have been a bit yeasty and maybe off flavoured but mostly yeasty. so what I done this brew differently is I bought a load of bottled spring water instead of using tap water. also...

well I guess i'll have to see how it turns out, also just remembered I didn't add a camden tablet to the water that was added. don't know how that effects it though?

Was making a brew today (beer kit) and I had everything done.everything was sanitized, I had my wort made up, got it to temp, added the yeast put the bubbler in place which had sanitizer in it. All I had to do was lift it up onto my fermenter stand which it was right next to. As soon as I lifted...

i've been brewing that edme's stout, it's tasted really nice (done it twice now) but i want it to come out more like guiness where you can see a waterfall of bubbles rise in it

so about 5, 6 months back i bought 2 youngs pressure kegs, i've had about 4, brews through them all haven't carbonated or not carbonated up to scratch. firstly i was using the caps they came with that just had a bleed nose on it and was for second fermentation methods, i found that the c02 would...

you can you both methods for both keg and bottles

thought it would be a good idea for newbies like me to run through the pro's and con's of both methods with your guys help c02 cartridge: pros- no yeast sediment

i've got one of those special tube things for bottleing which doesn'tlet the air get to the beer, how long does your beer stay carbonated in the bottle afterwards?

second opinion anyone?

thanks for the info, i used 80g of spray malt in the keg,

i don't get it then, how do bottles of beer you buy stay carbonated in the bottle, i thought all they were doing was carbonating the beer then bottling it, thats what i'd be doing, no?

just had a thought, what i do when brewing is transfer all the beer to a keg with priming sugar in it then straight away fill up about 10 bottles from the keg with the sugary beer..........but i was wondering if i could leave the keg to carbonate first and then bottle around 10 bottle's...

hi just brewed a stout and i'm ready to keg it, it's a 40 pints edmes stout kit. how much priming sugar? i also have a little bit of pray malt which i'm going to add with the sugar and i'm guessing spray malt has the same sugaryness to weight ratio as sugar?

was in wilkinsons and i picked up a edme's stout, it says to add water and 1kg of sugar to it or brewing sugar so also picked up a 1kg bag of geordies spray malt to replace the sugar with. what do you think about this, do you think it will be nice? took a small cup of the spray malt out for...

do i need to add priming sugar if i'm using beer finings?

yea i was thinking of getting some gas for it but the keg i got only has a air bleed on the cap so no way to add c02 to it. you can replace the cap for the ones that can hold a c02 cartridge but thats another £10, i'm just going to try it without the gas for this brew see how it goes.

Hi, so this is the second time i've attempted brewing my own beer. The first time I got a beer brewing kit for my birthday but i didn't have any of the proper equipment or sanitizing stuff and the beer ended up undrinkable. I've done little bit of reading since then and on tuesday i went out...
