Thanks guys. I worked it out this morning and felt so embarrased. I plan to not put all the wort into the boiler at first and then add back in once some has steamed off. Is this ok to do? I am also thinking about buying a grain mill because i read that crushed grain doesnt keep long but whole...

Bit of a while since i posted this, and as a massive surprise mrs fiance bought me a deluxe AG kit for xmas/birthday (i'm a boxing day baby!). It has a brupaks 29l boiler and a mash tun with ball valve taps. Only problem is though that i can't turn the handles on the ball valves. Do i have to...

Thats very kind of you, will be a while before i get round to it as some saving needed before purchasing but will keep that in mind ;-)

I might pop round to my dads this weekend and see what he says. If in doubt about anything manual i'll ask him. He's pretty much jack of all trades really. Id not even thought about buying 2nd hand... i will have a look on ebay and see what i can find. My dad usually likes a few bottles of...

I have spoken to my dad and he says he can help me make the equipment if it is cheaper to do that. He is an ex sparky/builder/fireman so has a few skills. And certainly has all the tools. I have a spanner and a pair of pliers but that's about it lol

Thank you. That is great advice. This is a bit of a minefield really. It does feel like one at least. I will keep looking. Thank you for the advice.:-D

Thank you for the advice guys. I really am not very good at making things so i am more in a position to buy than create. I will keep looking and possibly buy my starter kit seperately. Any other advise would be hugely welcomed:D

I'm a bit excited to find out how this one turns out:pray:

The yeast will still eat the sugar from the cherryjuice but to be hlnest i've done it that way round as the cider kits i have done kn the past require me to ferment the qpple juice out first then add a sachet of juice concentrate after. Im sure you could add it at first but i dont see any...

I started kit brewing in May this year and recently started experimenting with hops and additional malts etc. This was great fun and added a bit of something new to the techniques. However. It has made me realise that i'm not really making "my own" beer, im just making someone elses. A bit...

So did you get the kit then? I just googled 3kgwheat beer kits and this was the first i found. Searched on here and found this thread... Any good?

I contacted a company called label planet and they sent me some samples of removable labels. No residue or paper left behind. Even after i wet the label it came straight off. Im not fussed about it being fancy, i just want a small sticker so i can write what it is, how strong it is and the date...

I took a look at mine after a week and it was pretty clear but i havent tried one yet...

Absolutely mate! Please let me know how you get on...

Where do i get peelable labels from?

Does anyone know where to but plasticised labels that will go through an inkjet printer? Labels that when you go to remove them they dont leave behind adhesive and a thin layer of paper? Basically i use address labels atm but i have to soak them to get the off cleanly... ...any suggestions?

I've just done some experiments with some reduced to ckear wilko real ales. I put both on last night. They're 2 can kits like the golden ale but in one i brewed to 22l and added 500g brew enhanver and 500g medium spray malt. The other i added 500g brew enhancer and 454g of golden syrup to...

Ah well. Better to have had beer and binned it than never to have had beer at all i suppose...

Get well soon for your poorly beer. Or refunded. One of the two lol

Oh, and i have ordered some fuggles hop tea to use in both will add on day 2 when they arrive...
