Cheers mate, now that's what I call a detailed answer ! The only kit I've got at the moment is a Wilkos Mexican kit. What's your view on that? I've got all the other ingredients.

Afternoon Chaps, As the title says, any Porter drinkers recommend a decent kit? Preferably with some tasting notes. :!:

Why would the Safale US-05 make it more like a porter? I also have this kit waiting in the wings and I do like a Porter. :hmm:

I think I will give that a try. Thanks for your advice. 👍

Hmm, food (or Beer! ) for thought. ☺

Thanks for that. Is it sold under a different name?

Cheers mate for that, it's just what I wanted. 👍👍👍

Dried. I have a Wherry kit and thought I would try to change the flavour. I'm not a big fan of malty beers but I do like a strong bitter, about the 4.7 to 5.0% I think this may well be an unanswerable question! :!:

Right, Iv'e been brewing for a year now (kits only) with excellent results, and fancy trying a different yeast to change the flavour of my bitters. Any advice on what ale yeasts have different flavours? :hmm:

Smothered it with some car filler and so far so good :-D

What about my 40 pints of beer?

Cheers for that. Forgot to add that the split is in the panel that says " Boots Beer Barrel" so its not flat. Also although it spent 12 days in my brew box at 20c, it did taste quite sweet. :hmm:

Hi Chaps, I managed to get hold of a load of second hand brewing stuff including two PBs, both the old Boots type with the wide neck. Before I used the barrels I checked for leaks and they were both ok. Well you can guess what happened next, one of them developed a small split about 6 inches...

Thanks all for your advice.

Whats the difference between Dried Spray malt and Liquid Malt? Does it work out the same weight? ie: 1.5kg Dried is the same as Liquid? I made a Wilkos Delicate Pilsner earlier in the year using one kit tin (1.5kg) 3 x 500g Light Dried Spray Malt + S-23 Yeast. Came out really nice. That...

No, I'm always careful when I move the kegs. Can't work out what has caused this, but the beer tastes fine.

Afternoon Chaps, Just started drinking the above. Added 500g Light Spraymalt, yeast nutrient, bottled water. Brewed to 23L. Came out about 5%. Kegged. The beer is slightly cloudy from the keg, carbonated just right, no off smells and tastes blooming lovely. I also bottled 4x500ml and these...

What yeast did you use?

Ive tried both and to be honest I can't tell the difference.
