Brew xi. Ooo. My first pint in a bikers pub... With added mystery pills, courtesy of the local hells angels

The red and rose are good, the white is a bit trickier. I've tried it as per instructions, took an age to clear (I don't use finnings). The body improved with age and ended up OK. I tried it with 50% more grape powder, not good. Tried again with a bit of citric, not good. The latest Gallon has...

I like the green gecko, but did not like the rest I tried.

I brewed 11.5 litres of this same recipe. I increased the hops a bit, but still turned out a classic Ruby mild. My first Greg Hughes recipe. Very pleased with it.

Greg Hughes Ruby mild. My first brew with adjusting pH and calcium, massive improvement.

just bottled my first since getting the book. ruby mild. the trial jar tasted like a bit of a hoppy stout, looking forward to it.

i was planning to brew today , so last night i filled the fv with water and popped some campden in. anyway today i wake up with some mystery lurgy and ain't up to a 5 hour brew. will the water keep until next weekend? or should i just start again?

i suffer a sharp after taste too. i treat with campden, which helps a bit. just looked at welsh water website. it gives calcium carbonate 130ppm and calcium at 52ppm. any ideas if this might be the cause?

after having a couple of bottles in the fridge, they went full gusher! so the rest have been fully vented, very slowly. I put them in the garage and forgot about them 'till tonight. they're in PET bottles, so I gave them a squeeze, not fully carbed, but I thought I'd give one a go. I could see...

The old pantry

terrym. i gave them two weeks in the usual cupboard under the stairs but no carb. so they had a week in the airing cupboard, carbed up nicely, followed by a week in the fridge

Cheers. yes bit of frustration. i know this kit is discussed a lot on here, but was unable to find the thread. i thought my question might be a bit repetitive and inspire some yawns . I'll save this brew for Xmas then

I've just brewed a wherry. it was reduced at Wilko and I've been meaning to do a 2 can kit because limited for space in the house and I've got a 13 litre FV. anyway, finished at 1012 and bottled in PET . took 4 long weeks to carb up, but still tastes twangy. is this time scale typical of...
