Just bottled my second one in four weeks, both finished at 1.019. Quite a few of the first batch have gone, very nice indeed, first one took 26 days and the second 18 days so you just have to wait!

The last Nelsons I did (Dec 2018) had a starting ABV of 1.052 and finished at 1.013. 5% ABV it took 19 days in the FV at around 22 degrees, it cleared and carbed in about two weeks but tasted really great after 6 weeks!

Flip tops that were from B&M bargains last year managed to get around 250 of them at £5.99 for 12, happy days proper recycling!

I was using the Bleach & Vinegar solution but even with the exact quantities I still had a brew with a slight Bleach taste so I don't use it anymore!

Well, enjoyed another pint tonight, fruity but I can not say hoppy! Though throughly enjoyable

I can not say I remember, I just really enjoyed drinking it. I will have to have another one tonight to check and will let you know!

I don't think it is that mulled at all, its just a really nice beer that you can tell is seasonal, the flavouring that comes with it says put in on day 4, I put mine in on day 7, you could always not bother with it!

Mine started at 1.062 ended at 1.006 but took 34 days in the FV. Its been a really good strong beer but I agree with others its not that hoppy.

What was your final ABV?

Let me know what you think of it when you taste it!

Tried one last night, although still carbing up its one of the best brews I have made in over 360Ltrs

Any of the Woodfordes/ Munton 3kg kits are good

I use them all the time apart for kegging and have never had a problem, 500ml though

Yes it was slow but possibly because it was pimped up a bit (500g DME), also I was away towards the end of the fermentation so can not be totally sure when it finished, I would guess between day 20 and day 23

Wilko Winter Ale bottled today ABV 5.9% 26 days in the FV, smells & tastes great!

I would love the Inkbird ITC-308 WIFI Version Temperature Controller, being away a lot it would be good to control/monitor things are going from afar!

I think the Nelsons Revenge is a great kit as it is, but is far better when about 6 months old, if you can wait that long!

I am away at the mo so hopefully it will be finished when I get home on Tuesday, I will let you know how it turns out!

Yes interested to see how it turned out also, as I have it on the go at the moment. I added an extra 500g DME and has a starting ABV of 1.061

I have just brewed a Courage Directors Kit, 2 week to brew and 6 days to Carb & Clear, drank one day 21 great taste & head!
