Thanks for the reply. The 10 minute part was heat 4 litres to 80 put grains back in for ten minutes. Could a light lager type beer be fermented at a higher temp. Or would my FV In a tub of water keep temp down.

Have just made my first AG Brew at the weekend and its fermenting ok and tastes nice. So hoping when bottled it will be great. Ive got hooked and want to make more AG Brews. Does the same rules apply for all malts.mash at 66 for a hour and soak for ten mins as per CLIBITS Instructions. As i...

Its fermenting ok this morning. Airlock is continually bubbling. The yeast in FV is going up and down like a lava lamp. Is this normal for the yeast to do that?

My recipe. 200 gms amber 20 gms black 2780 marris 20 gms progress at start and 30 gms challenger at end of boil. Safale s04 Came out at about 13 litres and topped up to 14 with cold water to get temp down. No idear why just chose these at random after some searching on the net. Wort quite...

Well i did my first all grain today. Quite easy realy,wish i had attempted this before. Mashed grains in a bag contained in a low wide FV. Then rinsed as per CLIBITS instructions by dunking bag of grains in more hot water. Boiled,added hops and strained. Cooling was a problem today as weather...

I am attempting my first all grain at the weekend. Can i heat the water and add to the grains in a spare fermentation bucket containing a bag then wrap in a sleeping bag to keep warm. Then split the wort into two pans for the boil then bring back together to ferment. I would like to make around...

Ive been converted. Just ordered grain hops yeast etc online for my first brew next weekend.

Yes it has some fizz from the barrell. Hope that it will mature and some of the sweetness will go. Im being to keen to try as its only 10 days in barrell.

Have just brewed 40 pints of st peters ruby red. Was put in a pressure barrel 10 day ago with 80 GMS of brewing sugar. Just tried a small sample to see how its coming on and it tasted very sweet. Will the sweetness become less as it conditions. Does the remaining yeast eat up the sugar.

So i could put some golding pellets into my brew as it ferments. Same as adding the pellets in my pilsner brew.

You have got me thinking. Have two 40 pint batches of wherry on go since sunday. What do you suggest i could add to a batch to hop it up a bit.

Yes if i brew this again think i will go with the full amount of hops, i am drinking as i type and it is very moorish and tasty.

This is my second brew after my wherry. My lad wanted me to brew a lager so off to local homebrew shop and we chose this kit. I brewed as per instructions and added the additional hops after five days. Fermented for nineteen days just would not stop. Put into bottles and today after three weeks...

Just looked at tesco direct wherry kits now £16.50.

Have just brewed a ST Peters ruby red kit. Started last sunday so been fermenting around 4 days and SG down to 1015. Hardly any bubbles rising and temp sitting around 20 to 21. Would this be almost finished as 4 days seems rather quick.

Jug seems like a good idea.

Have just brewed my first kit a wherry. This has been put into a keg. The beer is fine but very lively when dispensed. If the tap is opened to far the beer come out as froth and half fills the glass. Is there any way to stop the froth and just get beer. Thanks.

Thanks for your welcome. Think i will bottle at the weekend.

Just taken up homebrewing again after 30 years. Cant believe how good the kits are now. Just brewed a wherry kit three weeks ago and its lovely. Just one question. Have a Festivel new zealand pilsner on the go thats been fermenting for 19 days. With this kit was a pouch of hops that was added...
