5g experimental ale 1 5g experimental ale 2 2206.8

So i've got a couple of experimental brews underway today. Details are as follows: Experiment 1: 1 x wilko best bitter 2 can kit. 500g Muntons Brew Enhancer 500g Youngs Medium Spray Malt Brewed to 22L SG: 1.056 Experiment 2: 1 x Wilko Best Bitter 454g Lyles Golden syrup 500g Muntons Brew...

Any news back from the lab yet?

I put 1.5kg in but wouldnt do that again. 500g tops but you should get a out 6% with the juice alone ;-)

If using wine yeast then it will be fine. Definitely use the whole bottle of cherry concentrate. I bottled in 1l PET bottles and used 2 teaspoons of brewing sugar per bottle to prime. Perfect fizz!!!

I went to LHBS and he recommended medium so i got 2 x 500g bags. So i have a kilo of MDME and a kilo of brew enhancer and a tin of golden syrup... i will have a few experiments on the go very soon and keep you updated

I will be VERY interested to hear the lab report!!!

You reckon a kilo of light malt? I thought that was for lager kits? Would medium be better? Or shall i stick with light?

It's also a new kit to the market so they are clearly concerned that if one kit is wrong... HOW MANY OF THE REST ARE WONG!?!?!

Interesting! Thank you very much! I'm enjoying my making kits but I don't feel like it, a MY beer to be honest hence why I'm trying to experiment with kits by adding stuff atm... This could be a great way to go

Anyone? Any ideas at all?

Apologies mate I jumped the gun and read the first post without reading the numerous posts advising the same thing lol...

The cherry concentrate really makes it dude to be honest. Without it it will just taste like apple cider. Would be good in a cherry wine once you have added findings so it doesn't get much it's sugar eaten but would rack to secondary and add bit by bit so you don't overdo it...

They're only 99p in aldi... i bought 8 on monday... tha k you for informing me about the labels. I havent attempted them yet but it's good to know! Agreed. Banks's is actually a nice pint...

4.4g woodfordes wherry 4.4g wilko golden ale 4.4g wilko best bitter 2169.8

Let me know what they say dude...

Hi, I've never glne off knstructions on a brew before, and my mate got me 5 x 2 can wilko best bitter kits (reduced to £2 each... bb date is sept 2016?!?!?!) I have bottled one and have brewed one short to 20l which is fermenting now. A girl at work had a sealed and unopened can of lyles...

Sounds like you have fermentation and a leaky vessel to me. I have done loads of wherry kits. To me they are like grain parcels to ethiopians. I have never had a stuck ferment or needed to stir them, but i do keep the temperature up in them. Usually 22c and they ferment all the way out by...

Good point... i may also die from the same fate. But my home brew death will taste better than pironi death :rofl:

Lol yeah i was like that! Some friemds came over last weekend and i cracked open a 2l bottle. The cherry flavour really started to come through and it lost its yeasty taste. (But kept the smell) It has become a fairly nicely rounded drink at nearly 2 months old. Too bad we opened the rest of...
