I was taking readings every day before to see if it would drop a little naturaly or maybee the sugar which I had added had not disolved properly. Cant see anything wrong with taking readings. I have made wine before. As for 1.009 , It is definatly 1.090. If fermentation can only start when the...

So Beverdale and OTH are the same company and Vinco and WineExpert the same also. Very strange. Will update in Feb with a verdict on Beverdail.

Hi. Sorry for the delay. I had a Shiraz. Very disapointed in it. I am looking to do a Beaverdale Rojo Tinto. I have always been partial to Spanish reds. A little bit more expensive but It is a good brand. Thanks I will avoid celler 7 and was told to avaid Solomon Grundy. Wine Expert is a lot...

Hi I like a nice table red wine for a sunday lunch and even christmas turkey. I have never heard of Pinot Grigio Blush or Merlot Blush. P.S. I used to but Calefornia conesur wine kits. These are no longer available and was told On the house was a good equive,ent. I have to say it is poor...

The ambient room temperature is not 25C it is the beer that is 25C. The 1.044 SG is after the sugars have been mixed in. That is the 1kg of white sugar and the 500g of maltodextrin. It seems to be livening up now. Must have taken a while to kick in. The reason for the duvet was to keep the...

Okay. My supplier sugested that the default setting on these fish tank / brewing heaters were on the low side and sugested I increse it a fraction to this value but it has worked before at this. If it dosn't improve tonight I will turn it down. I have also heard that the slower beer ferments the...

Hi. I put on a St. Peters red ruby ail 24 hours ago. It is only just started to foam now. Other beers would be trying to push the lid off. I have given it a health check this morning and the temperature is 25C. I wrap it up in a duvet to keep it warm and the temperature through even and stable...

Thanks for that. Back in the 1980s I got brewing sugar. These days whrn I talk to a supplier they say they never heard of it. I can get Maltodextrin without a problem. Back in the late 80s I used to get bru packs scammonden dark but could not get hold of it. it is a nice dark beer and I got a...

Hi. I used to use this years ago a biik by David Lions called it brewing sugar then abd it was marketed as that. pitting it into beer was supposed to get you a creamly long lasting head. I am breing kits theseday a lot easyer and less washing up and less problems. I was thinking of adding this...

One thing I have had a problem with the kink keg is these are top taps. When the level drops below the level of the tap, air comes out with the beer. What has happened is air is getting past a very flimsy washer on the end of the tube and out of the tap. Not around the sides of the tap as it...

thank you Buffers brewery: I would not have thought that the gas would disipate into the water. Have gone through several S30 at a cost 0f £6 each. I didn't want to risk spending days brewing th beer only to have to throw it out because it was flat. What I understand from these meessages is you...

I have already done that as explained. I know exactly where the gas is comming out. And all the washewrs have been replaced. Also I said that I have two barrels. I have the same problem on both. I may have had the barrels three years but the barrels have hardly been used for obviose resons.

I have bought thicker more solid rubber washers on ebay and found large washers of a slightly larger diameter than the black washer so it can't posibly distort. I thought that that would solve the problem. I have even had the ebay thick washers on both the inside and outside. I have tried...

Hi. I need help with my Kink Keg(s). I have two of them. I have had problems with these since I first got them over two years ago. I never had problems with the hambelton bard beer sphere. I have tried filling with water to about half full. I inject gas using an S30 cylinder. Just a small...

I used to have a hambelton bard beer sphere. Had it from 1980 to 2017 (over 35 years). Never had a problem until I got these **** King Kegs.

Hi. I used to have a hambelton bard beer sphere. I had it from 1980 until 2017. Never had any problems with it. I now have 2 king kegs and I am tearing my hair out trying to get the barrels to seal. I have to wrench the valve down until it nearyl cuts through the washer but still struggle. I...
