Hi, decided I’m going to make the jump to extract/partial mash kits like the one above, just a couple of things I’m wondering, what would be the best style of thermometer to use, just wondering how easy it would be to read one of the glass ones when the liquid is boiling hot! Also how easy is it...

23 litres of Festival Razorback IPA with additional hops. 23 litres of Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA with additional hops. Total 13851 acheers.

Cheers, davidfromUS, haven’t repaired it yet, will wait until I’ve bottled it before I replace the seal, I’m going to leave it for a few more days before I add the hops, purely just for the reason that I wont have time to bottle it up until next weekend. acheers.

Yeah that’s the one I was looking at, is partial mash relatively straight forward or is there a lot more to it?

Thanks for the reply Darrellm, think I might have to give them a go as Proper Job is one of my all time favourites! Would I be right in thinking the only extra equipment I’d need would be a stainless steel pot and a decent thermometer?

Been off the scene for a couple of years and got a couple of kits back on the go, keep wondering about these “Partial Mash” clone kits though, I like the sound of these as some of my favourite beers can be cloned, Proper Job, Punk IPA etc, I understand that there’s a little bit more work...

Thanks Ghillie, I gave it a good old stir after 24 hours, there is Krausen as I can see it through the side of the fv , just no airlock activity. Just spoken to the local expert in the homebrew shop and he reckons I must have an air leak on the rubber surrounding the airlock, said as long as...

Has anybody who’s done this kit had any trouble with the yeast? Pitched my yeast 3 days ago and no activity at all in the airlock...

So, 3 days in and still nothing from the Mangrove Jacks...‍:?:

I did do that kit a couple of years ago, I’ve actually got the double American IPA of theirs being delivered this week so that’ll be next!

So it’s been pretty much 24 hours since I added the yeast and the Razorback is bubbling away like a good’n, has been nearly all day, the Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit however, nothing...literally nothing, I lifted the lid earlier and gave it a good stir to try and help activate it but no...

First kits for a couple of years, I’m back on it! Started these today, Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA and a Festival Razorback IPA, going to throw a few extra hops in both just to liven them up a bit more.

Just wondering if anybody has had much experience with these kits, I like the idea as you can choose your malt extract, hop strength, hop varieties and yeast as well as adding other interesting flavour options at the end, looks like they use Muntons Extract, anybody ever brewed any of these and...

Had a break from home brewing for a couple of years now, brewed quite a few kits before and always used my king kegs to store my beer, I’ve just bought a couple more kits to get going again and I’m really tempted to go down the bottle route this time as got fed up with leaky taps and beer not...

Hi, I've been really busy and a bit lazy recently and have had 2 kits sat in the Fv's I brewed them in for over 3 months now! Just wondering if they'll still be ok to transfer over to pressure barrels or if they'll have to be chucked? They're still airtight, one is s bulldog cider and the other...

Ok I'll go with that, cheers!

Do you reckon it would be better to dry hop then or is it likely to be more hoppy using their method?

Hi all, I've just bought 3 of these kits, 2 of the IPAs and a pils, my question is has anyone done these and if so how did you go about adding the hops? I've always dry hopped in the past but these kits have a strange method which I've not used before, I'll insert the instructions below, I like...

Heanton......

Just wondering if anyone has tried mixing kits before, for example I've got 2 Endeavour Pale Ale kits ordered and was thinking of using one of the malt bags from one of these and maybe the second from a Razorback IPA kit, just wondering if anybody's tried mixing kits up before and what the end...
