Thanks for the help!

Cheers Strong arm. I would really appreciate that. I am using two 1.5kg tins of coopers light malt....aiming for a Wychwood wychcraft style blonde.... :D

I am planning Blonde ale as my first extract brew but will only be doing a 10 litre partial boil and topping up to 23litres due to pot capacity. Any idea on quantities for bittering and finishing hops? I am using fuggles at 60 mins and then Kent goldings 15 minutes and 5 minutes...was thinking...

A week in the cold and I gave one to my Brother in Law tonight who wolfed it down and asked for another....Chuffed. ... :D

Bottled my Wherry tweak tonight and the hydro sample tasted ace...really looking forward to this one.

All ingredients bought today....gotta wait for my big pot and wort chiller to arrive then all systems go. Gonna fill the space with a Wilkos golden ale tweak so brew day is two weeks time....Thanks for the advice guys, I will keep you posted. :D

So I think I have got it sorted guys. I will be creating the Wort using 1500g of light DME and 1.5kg of coopers light malt extract and do the crystal steep first. Do the hops as described above....will take some advice from my local Home brew shop in Gornal about the yeast. I chose to use the...

Ace...Thanks. ..

Good, thanks. Also, the only reason I thought a pilsner kit would be a good addition is that the clone all grain recipe I found asked for pilsner malt and crystal malt....will do some searching on yeast types...

Thanks for all the great advice chaps.... i will write a shopping list and get on it. Just one thing, you mention fresh liquid malt. Do you mean the tins that are on sale everywhere or am I missing something?

Wychcraft extract clone.... I am looking at doing my first extract style brew and am looking to try and get as close to the lush blonde ale Wychwoods Wychcraft. I am thinking that I could steep some crystal malt, then boil some light malt extract with fuggles hops from 60 minutes then Goldings...

No stuck fermentation for me, in fact it went like a rocket down to 1014 after only 4 days. Have done this kit as my second ever brew as a bit of tweaking for a friend's birthday. I did it with 300g of Brew kit enhancer, brewed shortish to 21 litres and have dry hopped with a teabag of Goldings...

After 2 weeks in the warm I had another taste tonight....really impressed.... cannot wait to try one after being out in the cold for weeks...

Well as advised, I have opened one after a week in the bottle and it is Ok. ...A bit of fizz and some head. Flavour is still a bit sweet but getting there... but was surpisingly clear . will leave them in the warm for another week or so and then out to the garage...will try and post a pic of my...

All bottled up with no real drama.....41 x 500ml bottles all gonna be locked in a dark warm place. How long in the warm guys? Was batch primed with 85 grams of beer kit enhancer...looked a bit cloudy but we'll see eh?

Just tested this with hydrometer and had to swig the sample...its great already..and really golden. Exciting this brewing lark ain't it? :D

Great...Thanks for the response...its still chugging away so I am goingto leave it right where it is.:-)

Hi All..A newbie here so please be gentle. I have this kit as my first ever brew, it has been in the Fermenting Vessel for 7 days but is still bubbling away every 40 seconds or so.... kit instructions say to bottle at 6 days..should I wait until it appears to have stopped fermenting? Have read...
