Hello all, Soon I will be brewing Brewferm Belgian Abbey Style. We have quite a few Ikea swing top style bottle that we bought for....well I don't know why we bought them, we just did. Would these bottles be up for the job? If you don't know what I'm talking about, they are 1 litre glass...

Thanks very much Doh, I'll give it more time and see how it pans out! Regards

Hello to all! I'm new to all this, but looking forward to a long career. I was given a Youngs Brewbuddy kit for Christmas and supplemented it with a pressure barrel and a few other bits and pieces. I have brewed up a barrel of Tom Caxtons Real Ale and it has been barrelled after fermentation...

Hello to all! My Wife bought me a Youngs Brewbuddy kit from Wilkinsons for Christmas, because I like beer enough not to give up on this new hobby/science/religion/obsession after two weeks (see barren wasteland vegetable plot and abandoned animation project). I've supplemented the kit by...
