I have the Krausen line and she is bubbling away like a treat. So does this mean the brew has survived my lack of experience?

I have a bag of brew enhancer that is quite a lot smaller than the big bag. So I can only assume it's the other option

Ha ha ha Bulldog Brew Special Export Ale

Ah well that's good news then. I'll keep on with it.

I'll watch that tomorrow. Thank you

Sounds like priming sugar then. I'll deal with that later. Think I might ditch this batch. Buy a thermometer and start again

Bulldog Brew Special Export Ale

When I mixed ball the ingredients together. The instructions said to tip in the yeast at the end and to check it was between 20-25 degrees. Put the lid on and leave for 8-10 days. So I did everything it said. My only problem was the thermometer wasn't showing any reading. So I'm unsure as to the...

So I should just ditch the home brew and go for the powder? Ha ha

This was my original post. The stick on thermometer didn't work so I just had to guess. It was warm but if it was tea it'd be too cold to drink. So I was wondering if it would all still work? Their was a big bag of fine white powder in the starter kit too. But in the instructions I didn't seem...

Thank you Terry. I'll use the link provided. I'm sure this is all quite simple after a few batches.

Ah yes. I noticed a "start.......finish" section on the hydrometer. So I assume I place it in and hopefully it floats to between those two points indicating it's all going well? Pitching the yeast? I've not got to that bit yet. I am genuinely finding this all very interesting so thank you for...

Erm........ha ha.........Bulldog Brew Special Export is all I can tell you. I'm a complete beginner so using a starter kit. So it was just the yeast that came with it. I'm appreciating the help here. I've a feeling I'll have a few questions over the coming months

It was a Bull Dog Brew starter kit, Special Export, so I just used that with the yeast it provided. It had not started to bubble yet. The lady in the shop told me it's ideal to wait three months after bottling to drink it. I don't doubt her but is this to get it to it's optimum taste? Could I...

Hello, Today I bought my first home brew kit and so joined my first ever forum seen as I had problems straight away. I'm not sure if it's a minor or major problem. The thermometer that came with the kit showed no reading. So I do not know what the temperature of the mixture was when I put the...
