just wait till you have it bottled and have to wait for it to be fully ready.. man that takes patience!

always best to keep them in the dark anyway I reckon... best dark space is in the fridge cooling down just before you start drinking :)

yeah test away, don't go necking pints of it.. it does help to understand what is happening throughout. It may not taste top banana till the end but that is the fun of it all..

I am finding that nutrient being added is always a good thing, I am unsure as to how it will affect the attenuation of the yeast? presumably increases it?

he came round my house last night and nicked all the pledge. Bloody jobs, coming round here nicking all our polish!!

you soppy old bugger moley, bless ya and all ya farty belchy smokey brewing drunkeness...

the recipe is on here just search for ginger beer, the pet bottles will come for the non carbonated water that you use for the ginger beer, saves buying stuff that you won't use.. apparently tap water isn't good for ginger beer as it can impart ick flavours..

bugger, no hope as swmbo is watching the apprentice, bag o *****!!

just read loads of the threads on here and you will get lots of idea's I am sure. Good luck and happy brewing.

don't worry too much about the bottles, get down your local and get some kopparberg bottles, the labels fall off in no time after the first wash and they are just the right size for priming. keep going with the turbo cider I think, so much choice and variation you can keep going forever and not...

yeah good start that, don't worry too much hydrometers are not too expensive. you will have no problem with the kit, piece of cake and pretty tasty.. heres to many more!

Congrats and good work there fella, time for a beer surely?

Try turbo cider without doubt and instead of getting carbonated water get still and make some ginger beer... you will fill the bottles back up but they won't stay full for long. I would stick with collecting from the local too, can't go wrong with glass bottles. Happy rebrewing

Hello dave and welcome. You should have fun here, this homebrew lark is great. My liver will likely disagree but hey. Happy brewing fella!

I use sodium metabisulphite bought it 500g bags , very cheap that way. 1 tsp per litre or so and it seems tobe working so far, not had any baddies yet.

you just can't beat home brew.. it is the dog's particulars!!

I am curious about this one. Been brewing a fair bit (kits though) and have just stored it willy nilly about the house. It has been fine in spite of the rather crazy temp. I am sure it would be ok more or less anywhere.. although I may well be wrong. I only chill before I get drinking...

Pat, As I am aware it should stay fine for a matter of months, I change mine after every batch though. That is to say that I wash and sterilise everything, including the bottles for the bottling at the same time as I am usually brewing another batch on the same day as bottling. I only ever...

Life is a box of chocolates and all that, bit of a pisser. I am dealing with my ridiculously hormonal and argumentative missus who may have to be patioed at this rate. My sympathies fella!

Holy ****, that is some impressive work there fella, all the best and good luck with it all!!
