Is that until the tin starts to bulge?

There is nothing stopping you from using a kit for your base and doing a partial mini mash or even a grain steep with some dark grains. You may also need to do a hop tea as well to get the flavour you want. But allow for several attempts while you experiment & work out what's best for you

I don't think I'm a super taster. But if you are looking at All Grain brewing, you could reduce your losses by experimenting with 1 gallon small (stovetop) brews until you work out what works for you. Use the search function to look up "small batch" and/or "stovetop".

I leave the last cm in the bottle along with the sediment when I pour it too. With wheat beer I will pour it all, but I won't deliberately swirl the entire sediment in, so you get some yeast haze, but not soup.

When you started, the packaging should have said what the sugar content was. You add all that up, then work out how much extra sugar to add like what chippy said. If you add neat sugar from the packet now, be careful & add slowly & stir, because if fermentation has started you won't want a foam...

Someone got a good bargain on a couple of fermentors there.

Get some stable iodine, stockpile supplies & start digging your shelter in the garden.

Do you already have a glycol chiller? What you linked is just an adapter to connect one to the cooling coil, not a complete cooling system. With a budget & shopping list like that, I hope you are less of a noob than your username suggests. Or maybe you have an acquaintance with similar kit that...

One of my own, I call it miserable git. 4.5kg base malt. 250g choc malt. 200g crystal malt. 15g magnum at the start of boil. 30g brambling cross at flameout & that stays in for 10 minutes before I drain to FV. Standard yeast eg S04 or Notty & I've even used CML Monk (I think)

Follow your taste buds. All this style stuff is pish. If it tastes good to you then it's a winner.

Well I transfer my full volume wort to my fermenter at around 95' and haven't had a problem so far. Advantages are that the hight temp will kill off anything that might be lurking round the tap that I couldn't get the cleaner into, and time. This time of year, lid goes on & hot FV is moved to...

I would also go for reused 2l pop bottles. My question would be How are you transporting them? Are you driving & so the bottles will remain upright & relatively stable? In which case what size jug do you have? Pick pop bottles based on the jug size & just bottle some of your beer into them as...

Is it a telepresence robot who's actions mimic someone in a "sensor suit" rather than being autonomous?

Yep, and too blurry (low Res) if you try & zoom it up on your phone screen

That's a bit too lime for my tastes. Though I know a farmer that and a 2.8i Capri in his barn. Don't know if it's still there, it's been sold or he's given it to his son. He was in Essex though, so not surprised he had it.

As I've said, they are all nice, inoffensive wines. Very useful when you need to open a 2nd bottle (if you know what I mean) Next I need to teach my daughter how to make & bottle them herself😃

Not sure how well that will dissolve in at the end. When using tannin powder, I always put it in at the start.

Not to mention dealing with potholes & roadworks.

I have both lever & bench capper. I end up using the bench capper placed on the floor as I don't have a massive work bench to bolt it to & it's not solid enough if I just g clamp it to a workmate. I will still.occasionally use the lever capper when all I have left is the miss matched bottles of...

I've used 275ml j2o type bottles successfully. But I don't carbonate my beers too much to begin with.
