Thank you :thumb:

Hi all, I have a quick question that I hope someone may be able to help with. I brewed a kit of Geordie Mild on 27th June. Everything was sterilised etc. It started bubbling but stopped on 2nd July. I left it to see if it would start again and it did for one day on 3rd July. Took a reading...

Hi all, Is it possible to add additional flavours to a lager or bitter kit before fermentation? For example, could I add a peach syrup into the fermentation tub when mixing the wort and sugar? Would this work or just spoil my batch? Thanks for any advice.

I bottled them on Tuesday and haven't had any explosions yet :grin: Seems to be clearing up nicely.....roll on next month! I have a bitter fermenting now :D Thanks again for all the help folks :thumb:

Thank you for the advice and the welcome. I'll try to be patient :)

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and new to making home brew. I have a question which I'm sure everyone will roll their eyes at. I've searched the forum for an answer but haven't had much luck, although I'm sure the answer will be in a thread somewhere, I started a Geordie lager kit 12 days ago...
