I reckon I'm gonna get myself some of this to have a "mess about" with hopping and stuff.

Ahh right I see. Will be using boiled water in the future! As a matter of interest my beer's original gravity was 1.050 and it's current gravity is at 1.022.

Got an initial gravity reading, but don't want to take another one so soon. I will leave it a week and stir it slowly once of twice. Surely the cold water that you use to top the fermenter up has also been sitting in the tank? Or do you guys boil that too / use bottled water?

Set my second ever batch of kit beer up on Friday. I had a lovely bubbling airlock all of Saturday and Sunday. My fermentation bucket seems to have a decent seal. When I got back from work on day three (Monday) my bucket was showing no signs of life. No airlock bubbling and no foaming/bubbling...

I'm going to be trying out a few more beer kits before I move on to extract or BIAB brewing, just to get everything second nature-ish. I'm currently brewing my second kit, a two can premium blonde ale. Looking for recommendations for a next beer kit. I like malty beers that balance bitter with...

Cheers guys, just checking out BrewUK. Looks like exactly what I was hoping for!

It's currently 5 days since I pitched the yeast on my first batch of beer (Cooper's English bitter). Fermentation seems to have stopped and my hydrometer has read the same two days running. I'm probably going to leave it at least another two days and then think about bottling it. I have a...

Cheers guys. As we speak the airlock is bubbling away. I guess the "head" on the brew means that it's fermenting? I find it comforting to think about how many years humans have brewed beer for, with none of the technology and knowledge available to us today. Will be taking some reading at the...

I've been meaning to look into making my own beer for a long time. On Friday (9th August) I thought I'd give it a go with an uncharacteristic lack of research (I'm a biological scientist)! After buying a starter kit online I returned to my old ways and frantically researched as much as...
