Do you have a rough guess or estimate of what my ABV would be if using. A. 1/2kg brown sugar Or B. 1kg brown sugar?

On line I think I have seen a good offer ie ...1.2kg Bag of LME for £5.45...I was thinking making a Brew with two bags which would obviously be 2.4kg. If doing this how much (brown sugar) would u recommend be added? I also plan adding 100g of hops to this 40 pint batch. It will come to a total...

Also added 1 teaspoon of sugar to each bottle before beer.

Recently brewed a batch of Coopers Real Ale which I dry hopped. I also brewed a Coopers Irish Stout with no added hops. I made 40 pints of each and added 1.5kg of Brown Sugar and each had an abv of 5.5% When poured the IPA keeps a decent head all the way where the Stout disappointingly loses...

tyvm for your input today Crafty.....20 bottles IPA (Citra & Simcoe) bottled 20 pints Kegged at 20psi as recommended...cheersacheers.

I dont know the exact size but I presume approx 32 pints as when I make a 40 pint batch I always manage to bottle 8. My Co2 is running low so I want to bottle 20 this time just incase. Also can anyone inform.me if the price of CO2 has greatly increased or not as I remember a few months ago there...

As a matter of interest on average how long does that method take till you are supping your ale?

ty for your advice......what psi would u recommend ?

is it still ok to force carb then? My usual method is purging then setting psi to about 40 and rocking on my knee for about 6 minutes

I have 40 pints of IPA ready and would like to keg half and bottle half (ie 20 pints each). However I was wondering if only putting 20 pints into a corny keg would be detrimental to the beer with so much head space etc or will it be perfectly fine?.

Just cleaning my Corny kegs and noticed the small metal tubing connected to the ball valve on the gas has come off? Is there a simple way to reconnect or do I need to buy another tube and valve?

I am a total extract kit homebrewer which I make no apology for as I am more than happy with the results I get. I am now starting to experiment with dry hops and so far am also happy with the ones I've made. I have just bottled an ale dry hopped with 40gCitra & 40g Simcoe. I have another ale...

My gas bottle is running dangerously low and due to the current situation with CO2 etc during the pandemic I was wondering if I could maybe batch prime in my two cornies instead? If so what is the best way to do so (sugar amounts? how long to wait? still purge and top up with co2? . How long to...

OK Cheshire...lol...ask and simple question... I have 3 Coopers IPA's... I have 100g citra..100g summit...100g simcoe... Any suggestions ?

I was reading that hops start losing their flavour basically from day one. On the other hand we are always being told that beers improve with age (bottle conditioned). So which is it? For example is there any point in me making 3 x Extract IPA'S (with dry hops) for xmas? Or will the hop effect...

I have 4 single can Pale Ale extract kits which I plan to make IPA's with. I also have 3 x 100g each of Citra, Simcoe & Summit. Could maybe anyone advise differing combos and amounts that I could try in each of the 4 batches. Dont want to do a Simcoe/Summit one for example if they dont go...

Ty all I will try 1.5kg..cheers

so if I added another 500g to a 4% beer what sort of final ABV could I expect ?

how much extra Brown Sugar over the 1kg would it be safe to add to a normal extract Stout kit to give it some added strength without sacrificing the taste

Recently broke my old trusted hydrometer which I had for over 25 years. I purchased a new one and for some reason it doesn't give me accurate OG readings. Ive heard it said that this may be something to do with the temperature etc. But I had no such probs with my old one. Any ideas as its...
