I am thinking of playing around with my next coopers stout kit, In the past i have used 2 jars of H&B malt extract and it was a top notch brew. Now moving on further and after a bit of searching i am thinking of adding some oatmeal. My method would be Roast the oats for a hour or so, then brew...

I used this one for my first kit also, all i can say with limited experience is leave it at least a week in the primary fv, Checking it every now and then is ok but try to do this as sparingly as possible so not to disturb the c02 layer covering your beer. You can then either tansfer it to a 2nd...

I popped into my lhbs today to get another coopers stout kit, they had safbrew T-58 yeast at 50p as they were 2 weeks past the date so i picked one up. My question is would it be a good choice for my coopers stout or should i stick with the one that came in the kit and what differences should i...

I removed the door shelving etc and then cut out some foam so the tap fits in its own little cut away.

Hiya, i'm fairly new. On my 3rd kit now. What kind of kit are you brewing? Coopers stout for example will go nuts, Mine did it for abour 3 days it blows the water out of the airlock no probs at all, just keep topping it up, thats what i did, But in all honesty you probably have nothing to worry...

I had a good trawl back through the forum but couldn't find anything so here goes. Has anyone treid to make a kegerator using a pressure barrel? , i recently obtained a brewmaster pressure barrel (woot freecycle) that has a s30 input on it, i also got a fridge freezer from freecycle which has...

I have had my stout in the fv for a week now and im looking for some bottling advice. Do i just prime it with the normal amount of sugar (85g to 23pints) ? Also i was thinking of using gelatine to help with the sediment, Is this neccessary? and if it will help, how much do i use? and what type...

Last week my Dad offered me a bottle of wine he made in 1969!!!! Really not sure if its good idea :wha: He did add a corking machine to the offer though :party:

Well, Thanks for the kind comments so far. I bottled the first brew on saturday and couldnt resist. I had to try my small 1 litre bottle i made up for testing after 4 days........ I'm well impressed. it was only the brewbuddy but a very nice pint. Now instead of extract im looking at brew in a...
