Good stuff, ive got a roasted stout Mangrove Jack that has been bottled for 3 weeks, going to test it out at the weekend.

Bought a case of brewdog the other week 12 x 330 tins at £15 from Aldi, an assortment of IPAs in the case. Getting really popular up here. Its pretty decent.

I live in the town, will post when i find out what happened to the poor bugger

Im relatively new to home brew, have done a few ale and wine kits which have turned out well. After the ale has fermented/bottled i would leave beer to carbonate in room temperature for 2 weeks, followed by 2 weeks in cooler conditions which is usually the fridge, was thinking about a batch i...

Hi. What are you brewing?, it is probably got to ferment more. My kits IPA etc usually take around 16/17 days to ensure fermentation has finished. Cheers Stevie

Need a decent capper, find the wing capper a little annoying.

I have a couple of fruit patches in my garden. Going to give the country wine a go in the summer! Cheers Stevie

Hi Im no pro, but i have made a few decent Solomon Grundy kits 30 bottle kits (although you only get around 28 bottles). They cost around 32 quid. Not sure if they come in Raspberry or Strawberry, i dont think so. These Solomon kits are really straight forward to do. Cheers Stevie

Cheers, i ended up using a level teaspoon of sugar for each 500ml bottle

Just bottled a MJ Roasted Stout, will let you know how it tastes in a few weeks

Aye, remember them. Used to buy NME also. Was sad to see NME end up being given away for free towards the end of its life. Was a great mag in its time.

Was great eh!!. Bought my lad a turntable for Crimbo, gave him my small collection. Mainly Madness and a load of singles that you used to get free with Sounds magazine. Oh to be young again!!

Im no pro, but ive been happy at 24C the couple of times ive done this kit

Found the airlock cap blows off numerous times whilst doing this kit, my thermometer strip reads around 24*, even at that temp takes about 17/18 days to ferment.
