I would hold back for a few more opinions before you do, the yeast may not be able to ferment that amount of sugar which could leave it very sweet. I did one of these kits to 20L which has turned out quite nice, you could also replace a bit of water with grape juice and add sultanas for body.

If you want to do this then it would be easier to mix one with half of the water required. then if it doesn't turn out great you haven't wasted two kits. The abv' would be very high if it fermented out though.

I've just drank my first bottle of goose island IPA which may have squiffed my taste buds a little, but this had been fermenting away in its coke bottle for a while and was nicely pressurised.. So I had a little taste and it was quite pleasant! pushed the air out one more as its still very...

pick up your pen and write out an A4 page of 'i must use the multi quote function' so you don't forget again :lol:

If they are 'drop shipping' these items then its scandalous. When I worked in online retail 20% of the purchace price was a massive profit. For a straight import, stock, re-sale. If they get a drop in sales which is bigger than the costs they lost in delivery (which was cheap, I always made a...

the watchers may all be planning to bid in the last few minutes.

you look like a crazy person. You'll fit right in :lol: Welcome :)

The fridge I use for crash cooling and conditioning sits around 1-2'C, I take a bottle out about half an hour before drinking, Usually

There is nothing like a good factor of saftey when it comes to pressurised vessles in your house :)

I use 500ml pet bottles whilst I build up a stock of glass ones very easy to collect 40 of them. Clean as soon as you get them and disinfect with weak bleach solution the morning you plan to make your kit. 5L plastic water bottles make cheap plastic demo johns, for when you start making...

The bucket will not hold the co2 in due to the pressure, it'll pop the lid off in no time. Once you start pouring then from the tap then you will start letting air in to replace the beer.. Which in turn will spoil the beer. You can use 2L pop bottles to carbonate and age the beer, just pour...

But is it? You should fit a camera to check

Tell the seller that its out on the drive and they can collect when they wish, after all that's how it was delivered. They'll be quick if they think the scrap man might have it, make sure they are aware you won't be spending any time or money returning it.

If you can fit it in the fridge or a big tub of ice water then that would help quite a lot! I found adding a bit of hose to the tap helped, but getting the right size is difficult

The blackberry really helps. I've one with 50/50 blackberry / elder which is really nice, and having just back sweetened with apple juice very drinkable.

I had a similar experience whilst racking mine, it tasted very much like eating one did with a bit of water to wash it down... But that can't be such a bad thing, but very much on the thin side! this reminds me I should check the carboy and ensure the air lock hasn't ran dry! and pribbably...

There is or was somebody around that area selling them in boxes of 40 bottles, I assumed from a pub by the numbers listed each week. I think they were charging 5-10quid for 40 unwashed bottles.

I've got a 30ft+ x 6ft fence in my front garden which gets sun all day. I'm unsure if my neighbours would be too happy with me covering it with vines.... But how many plants would one need? :lol:

We all know boxes are loaded at 15ft of the van doors.... a heavy one requires two throws.

I tried once, resulted in my lieing down for an hour or so before I could walk properly. so sadly I can't, but if I could I would. I can't even take the kids to have teeth removed, again from experience, my wife had to come pick me up .. Useless :lol: I am an organ donor though, just not my eyes!
