Great stuff. Am going to try something on these lines in the new year. I take it one of the big challenges is getting the right hop balance? Also I'll be bottling this rather than kegging...

Thanks everyone. Food for thought.

Thanks. Some do seem to have an element of liquorice, though, and some, like Sainsburys London Porter explicitly advertise it, as though it were a good thing. (The outrage). Do people think the Festival Pride of London is a liquorice-free zone?!

Can anyone recommend a porter kit with no liquorice taste? (Can't stand liquorice). What about the Festival Pride of London? If anyone can confirm whether this has / doesn't have a liquorice taste, that would be a huge help! Thanks...

Thanks to all for help on this. It turned out a bit on the weak side but really very nice.

Just checked and it is SG 1012, so looks promising. Smells and tastes (in v small quantities!) like beer, albeit a bit bitter. Will check SG again in a day or two. Thanks for all replies and beginners' guide. Cheers.

Thanks very much for pointers. It's now been in a warm place for nearly 24 hours (but a bit over 20degrees, I think, nearly 22...). No visible change. Image:

Excuse almost limitless ignorance - first kit brew. Brewing the Woodforde's Wherry. Been fermenting for 7 days. There;s a blotchy layer over the top, but is this fermenting? Been at about 18 degrees. Trying to warm it up a bit... Struggling to attach photo Any comments gratefully received...
