Thanks everyone. In reading all of these responses I remembered that I once tried an experiment on this myself, using cane sugar for some and DME for some......and here was no difference. I think it was just because the instructions said about using different sugars to finish giving different...

Thanks everyone. I went to the brew shop earlier (one the way home from the hospital with the new baby) and got best option I could find - I have 100g of Hallertauer.

I wouldn't worry about it. I brewed for years without an airlock, just lifted the edge of the brew bucket lid. I'm a bit more careful now but still am more blase than most - but never had a bad one yet.

Anyone? Anything? I know it's a bit specific but was hoping that someone might have done it before.

I better put away the simcoe and chinook then!

Thanks for info. Any recommendations on hop additions to suit this style?

Lucky you. It just cost me an extra £5.

Hadn't realised that it was a thing. But then whatever good idea you have you can bet that someone else has already had itand patented it - see through toaster anyone. Thanks for the response, I've added the wb yeast to my order.

So did you go with the additional 1.2kg LME or dextrose?

I've not been using kit yeast recently but I assume that since Mj's are a yeast supplier the provided yeast will be good to use on this kit?

I like the idea. Anyone tried it? How would you rate the results? Cheers, Chris

I've always used normal cane sugar when brewing and priming the Brewferm Grand Cru but am wondering if anyone has tried different types of priming sugar to do a taste comparison? If so what are your thoughts on the outcome? On another note, has anyone done this beer and kegged to a cornie? I was...

Is it possible to fix a float device to a bottom tap king keg so it might be possible to drink the beer a bit sooner by taking from the top? Chris

I bottled this (in record time) and have left it to condition and am happy to announce that it turned out great. :-)

It's at about 22-23 celcius

Did he do it? Did he come through the other side?

I always rinse out after drinking. I think I must be a bit more paranoid about washing and rinsing - and the wife says I'm just slow at things anyway. Total time usually comes in at 10 mins getting everything out, 20 mins to sterilise bucket to rack off (and paddle, hydro, syphon, etc), start...

I think last time i did it I was still rinsing the bottles and decided to do some with rinsing the star-san off and some without rinsing. I couldn't tell the difference so wont be rinsing anymore.

I do 2 or 3 of those 9l tins at once so its either 18 or 27 (i can't remember). I have no idea how you can bottle so fast though. I have just gotten some star-san, i have a bottle washer and bottle tree, and the auto filler stick (that attaches to the bottom tap on the bin) and it still takes ages.

Before anyone says - I know I've been stupid, but any experience or thoughts would be much appreciated. By being ridiculously busy with work and everything else I have managed to set a beer brewing and it has now been sat in my temp controlled fermentation chamber for about 10 weeks now...
