Tankard gets my vote, the only way to drink your ales :)

Hi Tom, Im new to all the brewing fun, but my first kit several month back, was a Geordie kit, namely their Yorkshire Bitter, i was very pleased with the overall result, for as you say a cheap kit, in fact the brew i made was very well accepted by the mate who got me into brewing, his exact...

Greetings Drunkards Just put John Bull IPA on, with an og of 1032, if its as good as the JB lager i did, then its a winner :) ciao

Greetings!!! Bottled lastnight, og was 1012, giving an abv of 5%, oh happy days :) cheers

hello here's a link for belgium beer kits ect, ive got their raspberry beer in the FV atm.... http://www.brewferm.be/en/index.htm Enjoy JB

a quick question about my wherry, as usual i primed my bottles, with about a third of a teaspoon of sugar, the head is bloody huge, has anyone else had this problem, and is the priming needed with this kind of kit? cheers JB

OiOi Just started my kit today, og of 1050, this was a rather expensive kit, as it only makes 12l, if it works out it will be worth it, i'm a bit of a sucker for the belgium fruit beers, has anyone else tried these kits? Peace JB

had the mates over for a session on the wherry, and all i can say is what a lovely drop, i will be trying some of their other kits, its a lively one mind, very heady, have to decant into a jug then pour on,, the og worked out at around 4.2%, and that suits me fine... cheers JB

Hi the lager is going down very well, havent taken an og reading from the bottle, but i reckon around the 4.2/4.3%, the taste is dry and crisp, holds it head well.... cheers JB

Hi, Just bottled, final OG of 1006, hopefully that will drop alittle more whilst in the bottle, had a wee taste and i was impressed :)

greetings Smoggy,(i do hope you from on -tees),and welcome ive just got me werry bottled last week, was worried i done it a little to early(5\6days after fermentation) but appears to be clearing ok :) oh im a smoggy also, but migrated to geordie land many years ago :)

this technique also work if you find yourself stuck in at a party in a forest/wood without a corkscrew, wrap the bottle at the bottom and go find a reasonably soft barked tree and begin tapping the bottom, and hey presto the cork pops out :) peace jb

Hiccup!! I use only kits atm, so i may be jumping the gun a little, i've been looking at the different kinds of finings on the market, and the one that has caught my attention the most is Irish Moss, this is because it is vegetarian. I know that finings are used to help speed up the clearing...
