I've just started watching this and am enjoying it , however like most current programs and commercials it is a exercise in box ticking, with the people they choose which is a shame as I would far rather watch people who got there on merit alone. I do find it interesting from my novice brewer...

Isn't it remarkably how much flack Astra Zenica have had over their not for profit vaccine yet when the expensive rivals have similar (unfounded) concerns ( blood clots) it's not mentioned, anyone would think a interested party is trying to discourage them, I suppose there are no kick backs from...

It's a shame when if customer service let's down a decent product. Mark

Thanks, I'll have another look. Mark

That sounds reasonable for a ruby ale, if you find it's not as fizzy as you like, on the next batch you can increase it slightly but If you do don't go mad as bottles can explode if over primed. Once primed and bottled keep in Warm place for a week or so and then store somewhere colder. This...

I would leave the brew in the bucket for 14 days and put the hop / teabags / liquid in on the 11th day and bottle on the 14th day. Mark
