Ok thanks for the advice. What would cause it to be past usable ? infection ? or does the dead yeast have an effect after a time ? I taste going to be effected already ?

Hi all sorry if this has been asked before but i made up two kits then got snowed under with work before i had a chance to rack them. They have noe been in the primary on top of the yeast for about two months + !!!. Should i just bin them off or is there a chance of them being ok ?

That answers my question nicely. many thanks

Hi all. merry xmas and all that mallarky. Im about 30 kit brews into homebrewing now and have picked up many useful advice from this forum. one of the things i have read here is that lagers dont work well in plastic kegs as they cant hold a high enough pressure for correct carbonation so as i...

Ok so i am just about finished primary of a pilsner for which i used 2x saflager s-23 yeast sachets, my next brew is going to be a coopers australian lager which i intend to lager for 4 weeks in my newly converted fridge :clap: . After syphoning off my pilsner is there any reason why i couldnt...

I am quite enjoying the muntons connossier export pils at the moment. Have done about 4 of them so far. I have tried with both bke and light spray malt and think i prefer the bke, most people seem to advise staying away from sugar. have also found that saflager yeast is a winner compared to the...

Nice one for the help guys. I feel much more confident now, i like the grow your own yeast and frozen pet bottle ideas too. Still really enjoying my ales, but its nice to have a bit of variety and lager in bottles is ideal for the times when my demand out reaches my kegs supply capabiliies...

Just bought my first packet of hops (saaz to add to a coopers lager), they have come as 113g in a nice foil packet. i only want to add 15g so how long will they hops stay fresh once i open the pack ? Also anyone got any good sources for a latge stock pot for a bash at extract ?. oh yeah and if i...

i am now a 10 kit veteran so really know what im talking about :wha: lol. but i have been having very pleasing results from muntons pils kits. i have tried the Muntons Connoisseur Export Pilsner with a beer kit enhancer and with only light spray malt as well as the Muntons Gold Continental...

Thanks for advice guys. I aint got cornies though :( .Only got king kegs so i guess im gonna have to lose all me pressure right ?

If i wanted to take a king keg style keg to a bbq or the like would i be right in thinking the best way to transport would be to transfer the cleared beer to a second keg and then re gas with co2 thus avoiding sediment getting stirred back up again ?

My local paper has just printed a voucher for wilkos today. £2 off when you spend £10. that gets a woodfordes wherry kit down to £13. :cheers:

How did the kit turn out in the end mate. i got one for the mrs to do for her first brew ?. Unsure whether to do the sugar or apple juice myself, anyone else tried this kit either way ?

:cheers: happy days then. Its pretty stressful this brewing lark if you are a noob you know. so far i have asked at least one question for each of my four brews :oops: . Questions have so far only revolved around the brewing, i think i can manage alone with the drinking. Wish me luck with this...

I have just racked a brupaks wheat beer to a keg and had the obligatory taste. I have never done a wheat beer before but am quite worried about the cidery taste and smell i am getting, its not vinegar tasting but i am worried it is infected. Has anyone else had similar with a wheat beer after...

i think i will def only be able to budget for one to start of with then maybe try and sell my king kegs and use that money to buy another couple. will get hold of norm and see what he recommends. thanks for that

As the title says ! Thinking about getting a corny (from ebay i think) and wondered what else i will need. Ie what type of co2 and how does that connect ? a regulator of some sort and gauge ? what about on the 'output' side, a tap of some description ?

Thanks for that. Do you agree its worth doing or should i just stick with the keg ?

I got one of these pilsners for xmas too and transferred it to a keg four days ago. after reading the advice in this post i am considering moving it to a mixture of glass and pet bottles, Is this ok to do at this stage and will i need to prime the bottles or will the sugar i put into the keg be...

yep !. The last one tasted ok and seemed to have a bit of a kick to it. Didnt have like a major sesh on it though so couldnt confirm the manual falling down ratio. :drink:
