    Festival Endeavours Pale Ale

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit? It's just come back out as a limited edition, I've ordered myself 2, anyone done this one before? 🍻

    Youngs American IPA

    I'm drinking this at the moment and have to say that mine isn't very hoppy at all?! I've also got the American Amber Ale which I put into a PB last week and that's the same, hardly any hoppiness, I don't know why as the razorback IPA and others I've done have had less hops to add but have been...

    Golden syrup, any good for fermenting?

    I used a can of it in a festival golden stag kit but preferred the end result when I hadn't used it.

    Youngs American IPA

    Checked my gravity today and it was on 1005 down from 1060 so looking at over 7%!! Decided to chuck my hops in and I'll transfer to PB in a couple of days.

    Youngs American IPA

    Christ, this stuff is relentless, I've got a 5 inch gap between the top of the beer and my airlock and I've had to clean it out twice this morning already!!

    Youngs American IPA

    Started mine on Saturday, it's got about 3 inches of foam on top now and is bubbling away like mad!

    5 Gallon Plastic Barrel - S30 valve

    If you're lucky enough to live near a homebrew shop then use what you've got, you just need to buy a cylinder and give it a 1 second blast when the pressure drops off (before it sucks any air back through the beer)

    5 Gallon Plastic Barrel - S30 valve

    I've used these since I started (only a few months ago)and I've found them to be brilliant, I've got 3-4 Pbs on the go and haven't had to get it refill it yet.

    Evil dog IPA

    Well the fruity mouthwash taste has subsided thankfully! It's actually quite drinkable now although 4 pints at 7.5% on a school night leaves me a bit sketchy in the morning on a 6am start at work! Still nowhere near as hoppy as I was hoping and there would be a other kits I tried before coming...

    Pressure Barrel taps

    Replaced one of the leaking taps with a new one the same that came with my king keg and have just had a call from the wife saying it's leaked all over the kitchen while I've been at work, rapidly coming to the conclusion that they're all fu**ing crap.

    Festival Landlord's Finest Bitter Newbie Questions.

    Hi cajsparky, I'm no expert but I've done a few of the festival kits, personally I would recommend leaving your beer in the Primary vessel for about 2 weeks and add the hops about 3-4 days before you transfer to either your secondary vessel or pressure barrel, also dry hop it, ie scatter the...

    Festival old Suffolk strong Ale.

    Started this last Monday with a Sg of 1054 and by Friday it had slowed right down on the bubbling front and dropped to 1010 so I added the hops, it was still on 1010 today (3 days later) so I was going to transfer it to a PB but at the last minute decided to throw a few Citra hops in for the...

    Pressure Barrel taps

    Are there actually any decent taps out there that don't drip?! I've got 4 pressure barrels (3 standard and a King Keg top tap) all with different taps and all of them drip, not massive amounts, don't get me wrong, but enough to be a pain in the arse! It's not all from the barrel/tap seal either...
