Ah thanks, I'm wondering if the ones I have seen have added sugar but I think anywhere between 6 and 7 abv is more than enjoyable, thanks for the advice the hops for this kit are tea bag and boil them adding the water and the tea bag to the brew afterwards so looking forward to that as doing it...

So just an update I started brewing red dog about 11 days ago, the instructions and box say it should reach 7.5%. I read on this forum and saw pictures with hydrometer reads at SG 1.070, when I tested my SG it was only 1.058 the instructions didn't say to add sugar and when I tasted it at its...

Big thanks, I believe its sitting at 1.0127 (1.013) so I'll hydrometer it tomorrow and if all is good add dry hops in for a couple of days before bottling Thanks for the information 👍

Hello everyone hope you are all well, I was just after a little help in understanding a reading. I brought an ispinel the other day calibrated it the long way lol and popped it into my mad dog America red ale, the information it gives is very good and im very impressed with what it can tell...

Ah ok big thanks, I opened and had a quick look its foaming well and the yeast seems to be mainly on top of the foam

Thanks what temperature do you recommend I was going on the instructions for the brew it was 20 to 25 c

Sounds like this brew is a top one when made I've read good things about it to be honest

Its just over two days and the temperature is at 24 dead on, I haven't opened it yet but I can see the beer has a foamy head on it around half an inch thick, I'll open just to check what's inside. I have used this set up a few times with no issues but I'll check the seal incase I've missed...

Hey everybody hope you are all very well on this Saturday afternoon, I just have a quick question that I was hoping you could help me with. So I've brewed a few kits and they have been very fast to start fermenting and have always turned out about the right abv reading I've just started a bad...

Thank you for that I was a little worried with it leaving so much yeast behind, will add the hops towards the end the kit does say 7 to 10 days but I know the kits sometimes cut it short to sell the kits better saying its ready to dink in x amount of days

Thanks for the advice it says to add the dry hops where you want but says it's better towards the end 2 to 3 days before bottling to preserve the flavour of the hops

Hi just a question for you awesome brewers out there So I have currently brewing an Youngs American IPA, when I first made it up I used the standard 40 pint 23 ltr fermenting bucket which is recommended unfortunately the batch in the first two days foamed up rapidly. This has since subsided...

Hello everyone I hope im in the right section as im very new to this forum, I've brewed some IPA's and all went very well so my friend gave me a wine kit to try. I've done everything the instruction said and followed as good as you possibly can, he did say he'd had the kit a while but it should...

Hi everyone, big thanks for having me I've been looking around for a good forum on brewing for a while so it's so refreshing to be finally in one. So a little bit about myself I'm 39 and brewed home brew right back when I was 16 with my dad, after a few successful brews and a few more years...
