Thanks Cheshire Cat, yes he has a coat and blanket on. Looks like am best keeping to one until the summer maybe.

Got a Inkbird which works well, just if I wanted to make another brew It would need to be done at cooler temps

So I pretty new to home brewing but due to knowing my house is pretty cold I purchased a heat mat for my FV. The only issue being I can only brew one brew at a time, I would like to have 2 going at least. So generally my average temp is 13-15 degrees, if I am going off the instructions most...

Brew2bottle have these back in stock today - problem being I ended up spending much more than I expected ha

I have some San Miguel ones they work great from my lager i have brewed. In other glasses it was like the beer was flat no head but very fizzy in the mouth. Will stick to the nucleated glass from now on.

Good Luck - just finishing the Mangrove Jacks Mixed beer cider, good little kit - Hopefully be fully conditioned for when the weather is nice!

Any update? I think I used 5 in my Geordie Lager which is now down the drain as it was flat as anything. Good hiss when i popped the keg but on drinking there was no fizz at all. Bottles seem fine

No I think I went off No instructions - Sounds like I under primed, might stick to using sugar for kegs in future or batch priming. Think I aired on the side of caution as didnt fancy a ballooned keg! Live and Learn

So I bottled around 40+ bottles of Geordie Lager and Keged the last bit of the brew. After 3 weeks tested the bottles and seem good, light but I was expecting that from this lager, maybe a little longer needed to carb up a bit more but I could drink now and wouldnt be a issue. As for the Keg...

Unfortunately GEB didnt have the eco rinser after i placed my order so cancelled due to postage costs and I will have to wait til they are back in stock.

Yes please

Great I will get on there now!

I have this kit ready to make, any tips on how long to leave in primary fermentation and conditioning?

Forgot I got the email from B2B last month about the increase.

Yeah been looking on ebay but I usually end up with free postage on the other sites with spending over £50. I will keep a eye out

I am looking for a bottle tree, but struggling to get one for a reasonable price, those who have stock are extremely over priced. Brew2bottle and Getbrewed both have ones at my price point but no stock. Anyone any ideas of other stockists...

Great review - might have to try this one out. Currently about to bottle the Geordie Lager kit, had a few issues with the smell and taste when testing the gravity but left it a couple of days longer and it seems to be clearing.

I have decided to leave it til the weekend before a bottle it now in the hope that it clears somehow :) I think its reached its final gravity as its been 1.003ish for the last 3 days, but it will be much warmer in the fermenter as my house is like a ice box.

My first brew was a Diablo IPA - which seems fine and is conditioning . This brew which am talking about is a Geordie Lager from Coopers: Yeast - i presume it was Ale yeast as per comments I have read and the heat the instructions stated. 18-22 Temp - been kept at 20-21 degrees for 12 days Air...

Ahhhh well, only my second brew - so live and learn. Wonder if its more the lager type brews that it happens to? or doesnt it make a difference.
