Thank you again everyone. I’ve decided to try a part grain kit after a few mentioned it. I had never realised there were more than one type of kit! I just assumed they call came in a can that you heat, so maybe in my original post that wasn’t clear but now i know! Maybe after a few part grains i...

Thank you all for the reply! Will be sure to look into all that’s been suggested so far :)

Thank you for the reply! I guess i found the turbo cider much more interesting than heating a can and adding water, now that I think about it it’s not all the much different but it felt more personal. What is partial mash??

Hello, I am thinking I would like to progress in my beer brewing... So I would like to know which direction you would advise I go in. I have done 5 brews within the last couple of years (yes i know, not many). 2 Mexican style kits, my first, 1 pilsner kit and 2 turbo ciders which was a recipe...

Thanks so much chippy

Would anyone know if missing the priming stage would lower the alcohol volume? Or is that all done before priming? I still don’t fully understand the alcohol part of brewing haha

thanks :)

I had seen this but was not sure how recommended it was or it would just be fizzy. Missing the last stage would solve that issue though! So thanks :)

Hi all, i’ve made 2 beer kits previously and now want to try a simple cider. I don’t like fizzy ciders very much, i prefer a scrumpy type. So my main question is, what’s the best turbo recipe for me to follow that is on this site? I don’t want anything too overly complicated as I’m still...

I’ll be honest, probably not. This is my second time making beer and its just a smidge higher than it should be, i was just searching to see what people’s solutions were and wondered how the OP got on... I’m sure mine will be fine in a few days (it recommended 5-10 days and i’m only on day...

Hey, this post is super old but what was the out come in the end? Was it fine after a few days? Did it require another stir?

I recently purchased a young's pilsner kit after seeing a few good words about it on here and I also got some beer enhancer. Today it has arrived and after looking at the instructions online I notice I need 1.5kg of sugar/enhancer. I only have 1kg of enhancer, my mistake, but have some left...

I have the caps which are semi attached to the bottles via a metal hinge? If that helps The final gravity was 1008 I believe, which my instructions said was correct

Patch prime? Is this where it gets added in a pressure barrel? I don’t have a pressure barrel if that is the case. Or are you adding sugar to the whole lot then bottling? :)

Glass bottles with the caps attached (they don’t require a bottle capping device i just push the metal down) I think they are supposed to sit for 2 weeks , 2 days in warm and the rest in cool. I’m not going to be able to drink 40 pints in a matter of days so they will sit for a few extra weeks...

Thanks! I am taking a ready on the gravity before bottling so as far as i’m aware it has finish the required fermentation process. It’s not overly hazy just not as clear as a pint would be had it come from a pub. Or is this normal? Does hazyness even matter or is it just cosmetic? Also i got my...

It seems this is the case when i was writing this! I did mean teaspoon and not table spoon!

Hello, Very new to all this and have no one in my life with actual beer brewing experience except “i made a beer when i was a teenager, i can’t remember much” but have looked at many threads for advice and ideas so thought i best make an account up. Recently made a batch of the wilko mexican...
