Hello Been making beer and wine for nearly 2 years now and so far ive been pleased with my efforts, recently bought a fermentation fridge which i will use on my next batch. Would be good to hear feedback from those who use a fridge for temp control and to see if this has made your beer/wine...

If you are happy with the carbonation then 2 weeks is about right, your next post mentions taste, the beer does tend to improve with age. Its good to build up a stock, im currently drinking a few of a batch that is about 6 months old. I always leave a few to age over say 4 months. Easier said...

How long has the beer been in the warm?

Good luck!!

I usually take readings over 3 days then bottle if readings are the same, perhaps it is still fermenting albeit slowly. If in doubt just leave it alone for a couple of days. Im a relative newbie too and have forgotten to take initial readings in the past so dont worry too much. I hop towards the...

Had a couple of them yesterday, been in the bottle a couple of months. A decent pint.

Thats a lot of calories over the course of the year!!

8.5% would be a bit much for me lol, done a few kits that came out at around 7.5% which were fine albeit deceiving as i was half cut after 4 or so. I did not know that the higher the alcohol content the more calories they have. With this in mind i was going to have my brews this year at around...

Good stuff, was going to try extract sometime soon. Will be good to hear how you get on with your first brew!

Can collect fermentation fridge, when suits you?

How much are you looking for the fermentation fridge, i have no idea what they go for.

Have never used carb drops, i batch prime using normal sugar and never had a hassle.

Looks like things are going ok, i usually bottle then have a pint after 2 weeks to see how its carbed/tasting

Yeah, early days. Patience is the key. Look forward to the update.

Exactly!. Taps nose.

Done this kit a few times, not tasted it on day 5 but did find it took a while to condition due to the higher alcohol content (i think?)t. It does knock your socks off tho!

I started homebrewing when the Gov up here introduced minimum pricing per unit of alcohol, currently at 50p a unit. However after my first brew was a success which was a Youngs IPA , i was just delighted that i could make beer myself and the cost went flying out the window. I do however shop...

One of our local Pizza shops uses halal meat.. A well known chain.

And i ate all of them for 18 months!!. It was a fry up that got me in the end. Good luck dude!
