Planning on kegging and then using the bottling tap on the keg to bottle around 5 litres. Don't have enough bottles to do all 20 litres haha

I'm worried I may have left it too long now! Been tasting each time I tried and may be starting to taste a little vinegar-y? Also the froth kind of thing in the FV has gone....?

Can you see this?

Actually it's literally on the border of the two colours

Yeah hydrometer reading. Umm I'm not sure exactly how to read it. There's a solid black line below the yellow area it says it needs to be in to bottle. It's hovering just in the black area below the yellow still

Ok been three weeks now. No change for the last week ish. Still ok...? I'm getting worried now

Not sure if people can still see this? Tested again today (20th) and still not quite there!! Do I leave it? It's been 15 days and the instructions say 6!!!

ok will do! I took another reading today (before seeing these replies) and it has moved closer to the bottling gv. I'll leave it until thurs and measure on thurs and fri and see if it's steady. tasted the sample and it's really good! just flat of course haha

I'm brewing a wheat beer using a coopers kit. Ok I'll keep the checks going then. Thanks!

Ok quick query I hope someone can help me with. I took my first reading and it was at the normal level so I left it as instructed for the 6 days. I checked the level on friday (which was the 6th) and it wasn't at the level that the hydrometer says it needs to be. So I left it another day but...

Just wondering what kit people would recommend for a nice wintery cider ready for christmas! Thanks!

I used a coopers brew kit for wheat beer and misread one of the instructions! It said to add 500g spraymalt and 300g sugar but I accidentally put in 500g of sugar as well as the 500g spraymalt. Have I ruined my brew? This is my first brew so I'm a complete newbie. Praying that you'll...

brilliant idea! thanks everyone! I'll be sure to post here my progress once I've chosen the kit I want on a more appropriate area of the forums! great community on this website. I feel very welcomed haha

ok. last thing I swear! If I don't have 23 litres worth of bottles, would it be ok to bottle 10 bottles worth (leaving the rest of the beer in the barrel) and then bottle the rest when the bottles become available again? (knowing me and my housemates that wouldn't take long haha!)

didn't realise everyone would be so helpful, thanks again! sorry to be going round in circles but why is my pressure barrel with the tap on it not the same as a bottling bucket? sorry to sound amateur haha! would it not be ok to use the bottling stick like HebridesRob said with the pressure...

thanks people! So I don't need to use the pressure barrel if I don't want to? I can just go from fv to bottles? would I be able to put it into the barrel, let it go through the second stage, then put it into bottles? that is kind of what I thought I would do haha. I think the literal brewing...

Hi HomeBrew Forum! I have just bought the Wilko beer makers deluxe pack (1x plastic spoon, 1x syphon tube, 1x 50g cleaner and sterliser, 1x fermenting bucket, 1x pressure barrel) and I want to make my own wheat beer! I love the belgian type. I have done a lot of research online and think...
