Thanks will get some.

Hi I've been given a white wine brew by a friend and noticed it's 2 years out of date, silly question but is this no good or do last longer than stated and still possibly usable?

Also got a thermometer currently resting on top of the fermenter not sure where best to put this?

Just took a sneaky peak, it's frothy and some bubbles on top with a scum (murky residue type thing ) around the sides near the top, is this right? Lid was tight all round.

This is my 1st brew so making errors already. I didn't take a reading and need to purchase a thermometer strip. Lid is on tight but it's a cold house unless I have heating all the time which isn't an option so currently have a blanket wrapped around it. Will check out your guide thank you

Hi I started my brew on Saturday 3 days ago and have yet to see any bubbling! I haven't Got anywhere warm enough I think but will be using a heat belt from tomorrow, but is my brew now ruined or will it just take longer?

Oh and very helpful

Thank you for replying much appreciated.

Using a kit I'm new at this so it's all trial and error at the moment. Will see how my 1st attempt goes and go from there. Thanks

Thanks yeah I'm half way through my 1st brew and only have 10 bottles and might not get chance to get some more just yet so was going to transfer all to the barrel (using sugar)and then fill my 10 bottles straight away, I'm worried tho that the bottles won't get the same gas effect!

Hi once my brew is fermented and transferred to a barrel do I still need to add sugar if then decided to bottle some of it? Would it be best either one or the other? Thanks

Hi how can I make my brew weaker or stronger? I believe it's to do with sugar I'm part way through my 1st ale and will try changing it if needed on nmy next go Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions will get right on it. Do I fill the airlock full? I out some vodka in about a shot worth!

Hi I'm a 1st time user of home brew I got my equipment off a mate all seems fine apart from the airlock, when I've looked at pics and videos I've noticed the airlocks have a red thing on top maybe made of rubber and don't have one of these, will this make a difference?
