It's the Fesyival Summer Stag.

Well ive always had good results with the festival kits except once when it didn't ferment at all and I was told to throw the packet yeast away and use another, like youngs. It's been great ever since until this batch

If its still git low ABV, would it be worth adding more sugar and yeast after another week?

Simply put, I didn't know that so it's appreciated that you pointed this out thanks. 1 thing I do know, is time in a corny keg in a fridge at 10 deg makes for great tasting beer. I'll be drinking this in 2 months time.

Hi Graz, I used my Hygrometer. Starting gravity was 1.032. Test after 1 week was 1.010 when I added my hop pellets.

Afternoon all, I've been brewing festival kits with a goid amount of succes after I was told to throw away the pack yeast and use youngs brewing yeast. I've just used my hygrometer and with the packs 100g sugar and 12g of youngs yeast, after a week and it's only showing 2.89%. There was very...

Afternoon all. I made the Festival Landlord kit yesterday. I omitted the kirs yeast as my last 2 kits struggled with this. I added 12gr of Youngs Multipurpose Dried Active yeast. Water temperature was 24deg. There's no brewing activity at all. No bubbling, just a little bit of positive...

Hi and many thanks for your advice. My last beer came out at 2%. It also barely fermented but I fear the yeast embassy to blame. I'll take your advice and throw the yeast in the bin for sure. Many thanks

I'll tell you what i had done previously. I vaselined the lid in place on all of my brews. However, on this one I cleaned it all off so my seal wasn't there anymore. I'll give it a couple more days and then get it in the pressure vessel.

So then, my original gravity was 1044, my gravity today is 1010. So, it's converted the sugars. But there's no evidence of any brewing? I'll barrel it shortly and keep it in the warm for a while.

I put in 12grams of yeast yesterday. Temp is now a steady 22deg in the airing cupboard. I'll check to see if its bubbling and check the S.G. and report out.

I've bought a tub of Youngs Brew yeast. It says a level teaspoon per gallon which is about 5.5 teaspoons. Does that sound right?

Fantastic. I will go and get some of that then. We do have a Wilko's nearby! Awesome response. Thanks for your help.

Afternoon all. After having (fantastic) success with Festival kits, I thought I would give a St Peters kit a try. I followed the instructions and it is now sat (trying to) ferment in the airing cupboard at a steady 21 deg c. However after 3 days, nothing has occurred and the Hydrometer...

Afternoon all. I'm after a fridge to put in 2 Corny kegs. Does a regular undercounter fridge, hold 2 with a secondary regulator and a beer gun? I will have a CO2 Cylinder outside piping in to both. Thanks everyone

Really great help. Thank you very much!

Hi everyone, I followed the great advice on here and bought a 2 Corny keg setup from Brewkegtap and they were most helpful. I have brewed a lager and a bitter and want the lager to have an amount of gas and the bitter less so. Can anybody give me an idea on the pressures I need on the 2...

Bought s whole setup with 2 cylinders and 2 regulators delivered for £280 from brewkegtap. Jonny was brilliant. My local gas supplier wants £20 deposit and £20 refill for a 10litre cylinder. I'm all sorted! Thanks to everyone on here for your help and support. I'll update with my beers as I...

Flippin Brilliant! Very much appreciated. I've been looking for somewhere to buy the lot from! Awesome help Cheers

This is what I need then. My understanding is I need 2 Corny kegs and a large CO2 Cylinder. Can you help me with the connections I need and where to buy all of this in the UK? Many thanks
