thanks, i was only going to make a hoppy lager anyway. if it works ill report lol.

I have 2 packs of 1.2kg Mangrove Jacks LME. I've only done kit beers so far (4 right now), and I want to make a Pilsner out of these packs. So, are they the same "density" as the LME you'd get out of a kit? Will for example, 1.2KG make 20 litres (what's the OG)? Would like to know if anyone has...

Title pretty much sums up my question. Got a keg and my stout is ready, ordered some Gas from my local supplier but theyre taking awhile to get back to me, and my stout should've been kegged/bottled 3 days ago. I know you need CO2 to get a proper seal and reduce the chance of oxidation, but...

It's been 7 days and hops are out. I measured Gravity on day 5 and it was at 1.010, day 8 my FG was still 1.010, OG was about 1.048, nice around 5%. The dry hops had finished. Smells amazing. I tasted some of my sample and it is really really good, creamy body, lovely hoppy flavour and almost a...

50g Ekuanot in on day 4. going to leave it for 7 days, cold crash and bottle. lets see how this goes.

Nah I could've guessed Saaz would've gotten lost in the IPA, I bought it as part of a Bohemian Lager attempt I was going to do haha. Going to add about 50g of ekuanot to dry hop tomorrow. yes I bought my hops from them. Good prices. free delivery on ebay too.

Bought a pack of Mangrove Jacks M43 New World Strong Ale yeast. Used 35g of Ekuanot hops in 3L of water boiled for 5 minutes and left for 30 minutes. Mixed 1kg of honey, 200g of dark brown sugar and 100g of granulated sugar. Smells insane, and the yeast is going like a rocket. Just unsure about...

I recently got my dads old FV's out, turns out I have 5 25L's, 2 25L buckets and 5 demijons, but miss either the lids or the o-rings asad1. When I'm up to speed I'm planning on having 3-4 on the go too. I've been looking at those Mangrove Jacks kits too, might get a few next time I do an order...

well mine ended at 1.002 too as well :O, got another batch of Wilko IPA going as we speak with some ekuanot hop tea, honey and demerara, smells insanely good. Did you bottle condition? I'm going to leave mine for 2 weeks before I try it. Only issue is I'll need more bottles for my IPA soo 😅

Nice one! I'm on my first brew too, now I'm just browsing the forum waiting haha! 1.002 is really low, did you keep it at a constant 22C? I kept mine at <18C (not as if it would've mattered though, my boiler & central heating died last week🙄) and I'm stuck at 1.010 but it smells great too, but...

that was the plan haha, no i did read through I just wanted confirmation that I'm not being a moron; I'm on my first brew so I'm going in blind to these things lol :thumbsup:

I was just in Wilko too and I'm not going back for 2 weeks, should've gotten some DME then. Oh well. Yeast is cheap online looking at it, might get a pack.

I'm going to be making my second brew, and I'm using LME kits to start out and experiment with what facilities I have at home. I want to know if my plan is sound or not, I'm still pretty clueless at what I'm doing. I grabbed a £12 IPA kit from my local Wilko when I went out to get a hydrometer...

I'm on my first brew. I bought a Youngs Pilsner Lager kit. The guide said to leave it for 7-10 days and bottle at 1.006-1.000. It's been 14 days and it is currently sitting at 1.010. I'd assume it'd take a little longer because I used generic granulated sugar and it's been stored at about 15-18C...

I think I lucked out finding this thread, I think. I guess brexit made this go ****-up? I've just gotten into brewing, and I'm looking for some bottles and I too realised that the price of a full beer and just the bottle is very close, yet flip-top beer bottles are pretty much extinct in UK now...
