    Beer Finings and Flavouring together?

    My latest batch is almost done. Was going to use Beer Finings but also have some Mangrove Jacks Flavour enhancer. Can I use both together with no trouble or should I use 1 x and wait 24 x Hours?!?

    What did you brew today?

    Hello Gentlemen! Long time no see wink... Work’s been getting in my way I’m afraid. Brewed today a Brewmaker Lager Kit. Threw in 3 x KG of sugar and looking at an OG of 1.064......Possibly over 7.5% :laugh8: This will be interesting.......

    Would it be worth me investing?

    So I came across This Basically my understanding is that I buy a CO2 bottle, attach it and then it carbs all the Beer? Will one bottle carb all the beer? Would it last for multiple batches? The only problem would be that the Beer would be warm or could I pour it direct into bottles and store...

    Forum Meet up

    I’d be game for this Chief. I have no home brew currently to drink but I’d be more than happy to chat to you. The world hasn’t ended yet, just got a bit darker than we’d imagined but we will prevail in the end!

    How long can I store my Beer?

    That’s good then 😊 Thanks Chief, she has the classic Temperature and Cold. I’m considered a “Key Worker” so have been working but I was still struggling. 14 days quarantine and going nowhere is going to drive me potty 🤦🏻‍♀️

    How long can I store my Beer?

    Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place. Just brewed a Lager Kit and the Mrs has started showing Symptoms 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m going to be in isolation for two weeks so won’t be touching my Beer. It should be alright in the Bucket right?

    Agave 6.4% Lager

    I’ve done a lager Brewkit but added 2 kg of Sugar instead of the 1. If all goes well it should finish at or around 6.4%. Was 5.91% after 1 week so giving it another to hopefully bump it up. Was thinking of maybe flavouring it with Agave just before bottling. Will this taste alright etc or is...

    Funny Things seen in Supermarkets

    Just got back from Tesco and after yesterday’s announcement it’s come as no surprise that everyone’s raiding all the beer. What made me laugh though was everyone’s had all the Lager, Cider etc but there’s loads of Ale’s etc left 😂 Anyone else seeing anything funny/daft on your trips out?

    Is my yeast dead?

    I noticed today it had a bit of a foamy top appearing. I just want to get it bottled and ready to drink lol 😂 Was in Tesco’s today and I was VERY lucky to get a few cans of Stella!

    Is my yeast dead?

    Right done an FG Reading and it‘s at 1.010, the instructions say that when it gets to 1.06 it’s done. What do I do? lol 😂

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Loads of corner shops etc have started hiking prices. There’s nothing 100% set in law to stop them doing this neither

    The Coronavirus thread.

    I don’t listen to a lot of what people say because it just makes you panic but people have been looting and robbing peoples houses for Bog Roll etc. The Government SHOULD have clamped down from the a beginning and it’s the only reason I think that the army should get involved. I’m not excited...

    Extra FV

    So I have one but I’m thinking of getting another. My current one doesn’t have a Tap but the one I’m thinking about buying does, I just had a minor question. If it has a Tap on it, will all the sediment and crap left over go into a bottle?

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Hats off to Iceland for that. I’m not perfect but if I was in a Supermarket and was almost fighting with an OAP I’d just give them the rice, pasta etc. They don’t get treated half as well as they should for all they’ve done over the years

    Me and the Mrs went to Costco about a week or so before the world went to ****. We weren’t panic buying but as long as we don’t start emptying our guts out we should have enough loo roll lol

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Yeah but it’s only NOW that they’ve said they’d pay most (not all of people’s wages) I’ve not been to University, I don’t have transferable skills etc. For me working is retail or warehouse work because that’s what I’m good at. Until now I couldn’t genuinely consider going “Sick” because I...

    You can add people like me to the List. I work for a Dispatch company and if there wasn’t more and 499 other people like me your toilet roll you’d been sneaky and ordered or other items wouldn’t get to you athumb..

    Is my yeast dead?

    ok lol, I’ve NEVER known a Beer to brew so quickly lol. I bought some Beer finings too, should I add those to the kit now as well?

    Is my yeast dead?

    Ok so I reread the instructions and it reckons that when I get 2 x days of it being 1.006 then it’s done. is that a fair assessment?
