Brewed a Summer Ale extract kit today with EKG and Progress hops.... Bubbling nicely at 21 degs.... Hoping the cooler nights brings that done a couple of degrees tonight. Pics to follow when I work out how to get them from IPad to PC then to the thread :wha: Normally when testing the OG...

I would do as stated above. The collars are ok but I have other fermenters and get by just fine without the krausen causing issues. Assuming of course the FV fit with them off. Cheers Steve.

Beer is barrelled. Used a siphon with muslin bag over the end and no trouble sucking it all up through the EKG's. 100grms of brewing sugar and she is now under the stairs and will be there for the next 3months. I guess the next update will be the day I'm putting up my Xmas deckies with a nice...

So the beer started out at 1.047. It fermented well, sadly due to a heat wave it got a little high in the temps. After a week we were down to 1.012 and so it has been racked into a second FV with around 30g of East Kent Goldings thrown straight in. Back under the stairs for another 7...

Hello. I have made a couple of extract kits bought from brew uk.... I'm interested in looking for other sites that sell extract kits. Where do you get yours. I have looked into buying all ingredients separately but the convieniance of having it sent to you in one package for one price is very...

Hmm... Now a sprinkle of cinnamon sounds wicked and very festive. How much do you use, when do you use it and do you just sprinkle in and stir.... Good to hear what others are doing for Xmas.... Keep em coming it will give me more ideas. Ta Steve

Hello. I have just whisked a woodforde wherry and 250grms of light malt extract into a 21 litre oblivion which I intend to barrel in three weeks having dry hopped with east Kent holdings in secondary. Into the shed it will go and there it will stay until December. :nono: Just thought I'd...

So I contacted Norm and he sent me a new tap head :clap: And now it works like a charm...so it was a dodgy tap. :drink: Thanks for your help.

Lovely.... Will do

Thanks for all your suggestions. Im thinking of going with the steeped choc option. Can you suggest how much i should use and in what volume of water. I have seen an extract recepie which suggests 0.09kg p but this is in a full extract receipe. But having never steeped before it's all a new...

Hello. I have recently discovered Hobgoblin Ruby Ale and would like to make a similar batch for Xmas. Can anyone recommend a similar tasting brew either a kit or extract is what I'm aiming for. Ta Steve

Guys. I got a new Corny setup from Norm, there is an IPA in there which has been on the gas now for 5 days. Over the course of the 5 days I have twice drawn liquid out to see the difference in Carb levels. Though there is no obvious bubbles rising there is a hint of carb in the Beer and im...

Thanks all. :cheers:

Cool. So is there a maximum time I should be leaving it connected...or is it ok to just leave it permenantley hooked up to the cylinder. If I were to get a fridge and just wanted to chill the keg down without the gas bottle connected, will it keep the gas that's already in it or will it start...

Hello. I'm in the process of carbing my keg with an IPA. I thought I understood the process but need clarification. It's very warm at the moment and I dont have a spare fridge. At present it's 22c indoors and was 10c outside last night. I left my keg and gas outdoors last night to cool it...
