Hi Andy. One of my fermenters I don't have an airlock. I just put the lid on loose and stick it on a cupboard! Never had any problems so far. The guy in a homebrew shop said it would be fine so it's ok with me. My other one has an airlock. As above everything should be fine.

Cheers Rod :)

Today was a day for raspberry and lime cider and home grown rhubarb and ginger. Hopefully will turn out OK as the first ever ciders I've done!

Yes I'll be in there tomorrow picking up some more yeast and maybe a stout kit and other stuff. Was off work today so after a trip to Southport (To enjoy the fine weather!!!) Made up these beauties. The one on the left is a raspberry and lime cider. The right one is a ginger and rhubard cider...

So bottled my bad cat red beer today and shoved the 42 bottles under the kitchen table out of sight (From the Mrs) just need to leave those for a few weeks at room temperature. Tried a little "Sample" and think it's going to be real nice :). Then brewed a strawberry and lime cider from a recipe...

Hi there. I've just bottled my very first kit. A coopers mexican cerveza. Easy enough to make. Mixed in the fermenter Monday night. Tuesday and Wednesday the airlock was quite busy! Slows down in around 3 days. I left it in for 10 days then syphoned it into a secondary tap bucket and left it in...

Thanks. Not up to ag technology yet myself. Sounds too complicated!

Already checked those out lol

Oh definately.... Cheers

Thanks for the tip. The coolest place in my house this summer seems to be 24 degrees. Can't seem to get below!. May have to build a specialist shed lol. My brews have moved from the kitchen table to upstairs spare room cupboard. (she's not noticed the 40 bottles of cerveza under the bed yet!)

Hopefully won't be empty for long!. Can't decide what to fill it with though. Bitter stout or lager

Always fancied making home brew. Now finished work on our relatively new house nows the time!. Been at it the last month. Just bottled yesterday a coopers mexican cerveza. Quite looking forward to tasting that :). Also put a 6 bottle kit beaverdale cabernet sauvignon and a bad cat imperial red...
