    Cider kit and Old Rosie yeast?

    Picked up 3 bottles of Old Rosie, 3 for £6 at Bargain Booze which seems a good price. Bit of reading, drinking and sanitising to do, then hopefully I’ll have a culture soon 👍

    Lager kit - Bottle or Keg?

    I’ve had an MYO lager kit in the FV bucket for 16 days, brewed with a pilsner yeast and finished @ 1.010 from 1.060. Stayed at 12c in the garage all through the ferment. Not sure if it is better to bottle it and fridge as required or keg it and let the cold weather chill it in the garage ready...

    Youngs Merlot kit - 6 bottle

    I put a kit on to brew and forgot to take the OG after addding the 900g of sugar, so not sure what it should have been or what ABV is but it taste like water.. it took a while to ferment down to .990, with no activity for 3 days I decided to degas and add the finings as per instructions. 48hrs...

    Coopers lager not fermenting.

    Thought I’d give an update.. Left it another week which gave me time to spend money I don’t have on a corny keg kit 🤫 Well 4 days after kegging I couldn’t wait any longer so poured a glass, poor head but bloody good taste. I’ll leave it a couple of days in the gas at 20psi and see how it...

    Totally stopped overnight and nothing since, I was surprised to find it stopped so soon. It is in the garage with a DJ heater & wrapped in a towel, the same as the Merlot wine kit which is still bubbling away.
