From memory I thought it just needed simmering to dissolve the sugar? Does it have preservatives? I thought the sweetener was left in ...... for sweetness. Rob.

Another update : Bottled successfully, warm conditioned and delivered. Syphon sample tasted very good, so much so Iv put a Brupaks English bitter on!! Iv told him he needs to put them in the cold and wait as long as possible (Christmas!?) before he tries one. So fingers crossed,

http://www.homebrewcentregy.com/ The Homebrew Centre Grimsby, run by Sean and Heather both very knowledgable in all aspects of our hobby. Supplying equipment and ingredients, including their own take on AG kit. They're both bee keepers too so there's usually fresh local honey for sale...

Hi Looch In my experience as soon as it's carbed up and chilled it's drinkable. Btw Iv heard the tomato purée trick but never dared try :D

I store mine upside down caps off, maybe your trapping moisture in them allowing mould to grow.

It sure is and doesn't hang around!! :whistle:

Exactly my thoughts :lol:

Afraid so Pete. I'm the tight *** from the big Gy remember lol. I'm thinking of trying a short section of 20mm tube as described somewhere else. Rob.

I could only guess.... but I'd say no, not this time of the year anyway! And interior lights don't put out UV rays which I assume is what does the skunking.

It's not how I remember Hooch or Smurf ice but give Second' credit it's cheap and drinkable. All my mates like it too.

Whhhaaaaaaaa!!!!! Jokin Save, I didn't know that, just goes to show you can't believe all you read on t'internet :whistle:

What Chippy said :thumb: unless your talking the hard stuff! Iv had an APA in the FV for 5 weeks but that's "L n L" for ya :lol:

Thanks Clibit! I had to use your jug method (without reading about it first) as I had a nightmare bottling from my bucket to new swing top bottles. Has anyone else had this problem - the tap is only just smaller than the hole in the bottle, it was forever bubbling up/forming a vacuum? And...

Hi Ben I'd go with your plan. I wouldn't worry about opening your FV, within reason, remember your brewing alcohol the same ingredient found in antibacterial hand wash?..... So if your hydro is steady, bottle her up. Like your style too btw low and long is how I roll :thumb: Rob.

Forgot to say maybe dry hop? To liven it up. 20g of saaz.

Sounds suspect. I'm tight though so if I had the time and space I'd bung it on, new yeast though.

Think Iv mentioned it before lammy, instructions quote 150g to prime, unless they've changed. I found 90g sufficient.

I understand it as the sugar added in your barrel should create the fizz and bubbles (Co2) by a secondary fermentation. The Co2 from cylinders is just to push your beer out. If your disappointed with the look of your pint it's been said clean dry, glasses untainted by dishwasher residue help...

Ahem :whistle: in my beer fridge

+1 Rento Totally agree with your critique on Rajas too
