Thanks DarrenSL

Many thanks for the great advice Terrym, very much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, the bottles were hard when i moved them out to the garage? Are you saying i need to bring them back in again now? Also wont the yeast now be dead? Sorry to be a pain Brewnaldo.

The bottling was done 3 weeks after i started the process and the bottles have currently been in the outside garage for 8 days now and are fully clear. In total we are now in just over 4 weeks. I dont intend to open any more bottles but if theyre all flat then i cant see them improving?

Good evening everyone. Can i ask the experts a few questions on home brewing lager. Firstly mine: Ive completed a Youngs Pilsner lager kit and followed the instructions down to the letter. I bottled the finished lager in shop bought sterilised 2 ltr coke bottles putting 6 carbonation drops in...

Thanks for that. Maybe it's my pallet as I think they're quite 'tart' to taste? My merlot definately had a tart/ vinegar taste and I followed the instructions to the letter also others said it was on the vinegar side of taste which is why I want to try to take that element away from this batch...

Many thanks for the advice Led_Zep.

Good evening. This may sound a daft question. I'm currently making a Beaverdale Pinot Oir red and getting to the clearing stage as we speak. 4th of clearing after adding the finings. I've just tasted the wine and to be honest it's not as smooth tasting as I expected. Can I add something to...

Sounds just what im looking for to be honest, do you also add sugar once bottled to each bottle to carbonate like yrhendystu? Ive also heard of carbonation drops too but no one has commented on these yet

That looks really good to me, what is it?

Is the lager style kit ones like the Cooper or Czech pilsner etc. 13 pounds per kit or do I need a more expensive one? Thanks

Ha ha it was going well until you mentioned a pilsner malt, bohemian, Czech yeast etc. That went straight over my head. I'm sure once I've done more research on how and what I'll know more about the contents of these posts. As it stands I'm a little blurred as I'm not even in the 1st rung of...

If i drink lager I tend to go for a moretti type lager or worsteiner (if that's how you spell it). Anything then it's stronger then the kids lager, Foster, carling etc. Hope this helps? Thanks.

Just like a 2ltr coke bottle then i take it?

Yeah he's sent a comprehensive response, somewhat confusing to a newby in some areas but a base to look at. Thanks

Thanks for your response, much appreciated, i can see i need to do a lot more research now as some of that made sense and other aspects i was totally lost to be honest. So the pressure barrel is a no go then and what is a PET bottle (or am i being totally numb here). When you say dont buy a...

Good afternoon everyone. I am currently looking at starting/learning how to make a nice lager. I have started wine making a few kits ago and now decided to have a crack at making lager as the wine seems to be going ok so far with the odd niggle here and there. I need some guidance on what...

Thanks Rook, i'll take a look at that.

Thanks for the input from all, just seems the threads were heading into a whole new world of brewing and going off kilter somewhat. The post was basically asking if Milton steriliser can be used instead of the others bought from brewing shops. As im new at this im guided at the moment by...

oh wonderful. i have a contact for that stuff so will get some now as it will be free to use. Thanks again Chippy
