Hi, Quick query on Nottingham yeast if anyone can help. I'm going to do a festival razorback ipa kit and without a brew fridge and drug and aquarium heater to regulate my temps I was thinking of using a Nottingham yeast which seems compatible with IPas and ferments at the lower temps I...

My first ever kit woodforfes wherry. Absolutely tremendous really happy with the way it's turned out great kit!!!! Thanks anyone who gave me great advice and helped me along in the forum!!!

So I'm at 1018 I reckon. I've checked the hydrometer and I believe nicks90 is right. So now I need to decide do I stir or leave alone for 5 days!?

I might take a picture of a sample and fermenter because I'm not sure how reliable my hydrometer is.

It did taste as if it was slightly carbonated. But tasted brilliant. I didn't use kit yeast I used mango jacks yeast. Is a stuck fermentation in a wherry not down to the yeast used?

I've just finished two full weeks of fermentation took a reading seems to be about 1.20 which isn't great but I've had a taste and I'm really impressed. My original reading was a **** reading as the temp was to high and I'd attempted to brew short which I later changed to the full 23 litres...

Thanks mate, I really appreciate the feedback. I always go with a slight side of caution with these things but the idea is to just gone the skill of all he's. I have all the equipment apart from smalĺer fermenter so I guess I could just buy two smaller demijohn. I'll Google Worcester hop...

I've seen these all grain starter kits that only make about 8x500 bottles of beer but seem like a perfect start to hone the art. Has anyone ever used and would reccomend these kits? I feel like only making 4l of beer and if it wasn't a good brew us fairly effortless to throw and start...

Yeah the sanitised water doesn't seem to have stopped fermentation at all it's bubbling away so hope this carries on. I'll just leave this for two weeks then.

Thanks very much for your feedback. I will see what happens over next few days. I used a mangrove jacks m42 yeast after someone else's suggestion. I've not got high hopes for my first effort. I stupidly put the lid and airlock on the fermenter and moved it to a separate room. And I'm not sure...

It's a muntons wine and beer hydrometer. Triple scale

Hi All, Just finishing my first woodforfes wherry homebrew. Just waiting on the temperature to drop down to a temp I can pitch the yeast. Just took a hydrometer reading and it was in between 120 to 140 can anyone tell me if if this reading is bad I note a lot of people's readings are in the...

Hi mate, I ended up buying the largest trug in b&q, doesn't leave much for clearance either side of the fermenter, considering putting in a few wine corks to lift it up a bit so water will get underneath. What sort of clearance have you got on your fermenter.

So I am going to do my first ever homebrew shortly and I have chosen Woodfordes wherry. I have taken advice and swapped out the packaged yeast with Mango Jacks M42 yeast. While I was going to set up a large container and aquarium heater to bring the temp up for fermentation as I have a cool...

Ordering Willis yeast as we speak then sounds perfect!

Thanks Darrell, this seems an amazingly simple method. I feel like I need take more into account. Is there anything I should know before I buy a 10 aquarium heater off Amazon ?

Thanks everyone for your input. I added some m42 yeast Titanic suggested. I have quite a cool house in winter and will be at work most of the day. I suspect the temperature is around the 16 degrees mark most of the day. Will this be a problem for my fermentation?

Hi I am new to the forum and homebrewing. Sorry also if have posted this in the wrong section. I am wanting to get started in homebrewing and have been doing quite a lot of research online and on YouTube. The kit I am planning on going for is the woodfordes wherry starter kit which seems...
